The Barbara Mackenzie-Wood Award

The Barbara Mackenzie-Wood Award is an award presented annually by the Everything But the Kitchen Sink podcast since the awards debuted in 2018. It is in honor of an acting teacher shared by co-hosts Jimmy Nicholas and Kyle Wilson in their college years. Mackenzie-Wood treasured absolute commitment and intensity. Thus, this is an award given to the most outrageously intense piece of acting in a movie in a year. There is a sliding scale of nominees every year, and voters are encouraged to write in their own nominees.
==Winners and nominees==
In the list below, winners are listed first, bolded with asterisks around them, followed by the other nominees. The year shown is the one in which the film premiered - the year of release. This is also the year before the ceremony at which the award is given; for example, a film exhibited thetrically during 2021 was eligible for consideration for the 2021 Barbara Mackenzie-Wood Award, awarded in 2022. The number of the ceremony (1st, 2nd, etc.) appears in parentheses after the awards year, linked to the article on that ceremony.
