Nude Scenes from
Melvin and Howard (1980)

Sure, it's Anatomy Awards time, but we hear that there's also something called the Academy Awards going on. Apparently, it's some sort of achievement for acting, directing, and the like? We at Skin Central were unimpressed until we noticed that several past winners of these so-called "Oscars" have been nude. And what better way to honor this than with a list?

Click "more" and behold the top 10 best nude scenes by Academy Award winners, like Kate Winslet's bush in The Reader, Charlize Theron nude in Monster, and Helen Hunt's heinie, which is definitely As Good As It Gets!

As We Count Down to the 81st Annual Academy Awards on February 22nd, Mr Skin Pays Tribute to the Twenty Actresses Who Took Home Oscar Gold for Films in Which They Flashed Flesh

The bizarre is-it-fact-or-is-it-fiction comedic drama Melvin and Howard tells the tale of a man who will whatever it takes to support his family. Unfortunately, he fails at just about everything he tries, so it's no surprise that he holds on to a bizarre encounter he once had with a hitchhiker. Was that really reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes? And did his will really make good on his promise to leave Melvin a fortune? One thing is for sure: Melvin is a fool if he doesn't hold on tight to the fabulous fanny and top-notch titties of Mary Steenburgen, who shows her wonderful physique while walking fully nude through a barroom. Mary rightfully won the Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role—even without using any clothing to support her beautiful bod. She welcomed in the '80s—a wonderful time when even PG-rated movies offered up a boob here or there—with the best nudity yet to be honored by the Academy. Thanks for the blazing the nude trail for the likes of Kate Winslet and Marisa Tomei, Mary.
