Best "heat check" performance
Also known as the "Dion Waiters Award," named after the NBA player famous for shooting the ball every time he touched it regardless of whether he was actually open. The hosts identify the actor who did the most with the least – being on the screen for a short time, but making the most out of every second of it.
This was one of the original categories, and appeared first on the 'Any Given Sunday' episode, before the show was even called the Rewatchables.
