We won't have the list of the ten actual nominees for a while yet, but on Monday the Academy announced that a total of 248 films are eligible to win the 2010 Best Picture Oscar. That's down from 274 last year and 281 in 2008.

Last year, the first year to feature ten Best Picture nominees, only two of the films nominated (A Serious Man and Up in the Air) had nudity. And of the five nominees in 2008, two also had nudityThe Reader and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

This year, there are two odds-on favorites for the nominations that contain nudity worth talking about.

The first is the George Clooney spy thriller The American. Just one minute into the movie, we get a look at Irina Bjrklund's Swedish seat meat.

But that's just a prelude to costar Violante Placido's skinternational main course.

Ms. Placido flashes her guns in three different scenes, but we really get a dose of sex and Violante an hour and 20 minutes in when she takes a topless swim and gives us a look at her funbags and even herfurburgerage through her soaking wet panties.

The second movie is Sofia Coppola's Somewhere. Twin playmates Karissa and Kristina Shannon show up in their bikinis, but it's sexy costar Laura Ramsay who provides some great toplessness at the one hour and ll-minute mark, followed by bonus boobage from C.C. Sheffield 13 minutes later.

Looks like it's time to start polishing those little golden men, skin fans!
