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
People remember that Halle Berry was the first black woman to win an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role. What doesn't get mentioned much (at least outside of the Mr Skin offices) is that she was also the first woman to win an Oscar for performing awesomely explicit doggy style interracial sex on screen. Halle's performance in Monster's Ball stands out in every aspect: as a top-of-her-game acting achievement as well as an on-top-of-Billy-Bob-Thornton sexual screen success. Here's hoping that the Academy continues to celebrate bold nudity and slap-you-in-the-face amazing sex scenes for years to come.
