Blog Posts about Short Cuts

The Toronto International Film Festival continues, and the frozen North is getting hot, hot hot with a deluge of nudity from old favorites and up-and-coming nude stars alike. Our Skin Skouts saw movies starring Gina Gershon, Juno Temple, Asia Argento, Carice van Houten, and Emily Browning, and we're slappy to say the nudity reports are all positive. Add a lesbian liplock from Olivia Wilde into the mix, and it looks like we're headed for an awesome nude autumn.

More breaking nudes from Toronto after the jump!

Mr. Skin's Skin Skout caught a screening of the upcoming drama Take This Waltz at the Toronto Film Festival, and the early report confirms that comedienne Sarah Silverman appears to make her nude debut 41 minutes into the film. Sarah, along with Blue Valentine babe Michelle Williams and Bliss's Jennifer Podemski, bares full frontal as the gals casually chat in a locker room. (Williams, a veteran of 6 nude roles, bares bush again at the 51-minute mark and boobs 1 hour, 37 minutes in, but this is the only skin scene featuring nudecomer Silverman).

The always sarcastic Sarah has been on a campaign of self-deprecation since the news of her nude scene broke last winter, telling New York magazine that she gained 20 pounds for the role and that "In all honesty, I would say it's a lot closer to Kathy Bates in About Schmidt than, like, Julianne Moore in Short Cuts. I am begging you to lower your expectations!"

Speaking of lowered expectations, though the cast hasn't admitted to faking their nudes, with the film still on the festival circuit our skin technicians haven't had a chance to skinspect the footage for CGI nipples or merkins- and with Apatow regular Seth Rogen on the project, there's always a chance he brought some of that bad The Change-Up juju with him.

Our verdict? Cautiously optimistic. There IS a full frontal scene in Take This Waltz, and we're betting Sarah is looking a lot better than her comedic sensibilities will let her admit. But with the threat of CGI nudes on the horizon, we'll believe tits when we see 'em.

When confronted with a ravishing redheaded actress, the first question that springs to Mr. Skin's mind is always "does the carpet match the drapes?" A surprisingly large number of A-list actresses have proven their genetic redheadedness in the most sexciting way possible, and in honor of St. Paddy's Day tomorrow, Mr. Skin's got some of his favorites after the jump!

For a Hollywood actress, the ultimate double shot is being nominated for two acting Oscars in the same year (unless you’re Lindsay Lohan, in which case the ultimate double shot is lifting two bottles of tequila at Discount Liquor Mart). Here’s a sampling of our favorite ladies who’ve received this rare honor:

Ravishing redhead Julianne Moore is the most recent nominee on our list, nominated in 2002 for her roles in Far from Heaven and The Hours. But you have to go back all the way to 1993 for a glimpse of her famous firecrotch (and buns) in Short Cuts.

Also in 1993, Holly Hunter received two nominations for her roles in The Firm and The Piano. We get firm thinking about tinkling Holly’s ivories, shown here in glorious rear view in The Piano.

Icy British beauty Emma Thompson was nominated the same year for her roles in The Remains of the Day and In the Name of the Father. Mr. Skin will spend the remains of this day reminiscing about Emma’s rack in The Tall Guy (1989).

5’10” glamazon Sigourney Weaver was nominated in 1988 for her roles in Gorillas in the Mist and Working Girl. Sigourney didn’t show her beaver in those films, though she played a lady of the night in Working Girl, but she graciously compensated by flashing full frontal in A Map of the World (2000).

Mr. Skin’s favorite pair still comes in mammary form, but we're willing to be flexible for you, ladies! Stay tuned for more Academy-Award winning nudity all this week on the Mr. Skin blog!
