Ian Christe is king of the metalheads. We know it's hard to hear, headbangers, and we're sure your record collection is appropriately trv, but this guy wrote the book. Literally. His book Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal, first published in 2003, contains over 400 pages of hard-rocking history and has been translated into German, Czech, Finnish, French, Japanese, and Spanish, among others (more on that later).

Ian has since translated his incredible knowledge of all things heavy into the popular Sirius Satellite Radio show Bloody Roots, where every week he "preaches a lesson in heavy metal heritage, with inside stories and tons of rare music from all of metal's many subspecies," and Bazillion Points Books, which published Swedish Sensationsfilms earlier this year (read our interview with author Daniel Ekeroth here) and next year will bring Heavy Metal Movies to life with our own Mike McBeardo.

Throw the horns with Ian Christe after the jump!

The Best Actress category is better stacked this year for peter pullers, with Michelle Williams getting raw in Blue Valentine, Natalie Portman drinking from the fur chalice with Mila Kunis in Black Swan, and illustrious nude thespians Nicole Kidman and Annette Bening serving MILF pie in Rabbit Hole and The Kids are All Right. The lone birthday suit bummer in the race for the world’s most coveted hard bald man is Jennifer Lawrence, nominated for Winter’s Bone.

Mr. Skin's pulling hard for Michelle Williams, the one actress who showed some skin in the role she is nominated for. She soaps up in the shower before getting down with Ryan Gosling in Blue Valentine.

Natalie Portman's sinfully skinny frame and smoldering intensity were a perfect combination for her role as a demented ballerina in Black Swan. She loses the tutu in Hotel Chavalier (2007). It'll tickle more than your ribcage.

Nicole Kidman has taken the world down her rabbit hole many times, but Mr. Skin is particularly fond of her creamy can in Eyes Wide Shut (1999), where she pulls off the naked ninja move of flashing boobs and butt at the same time.

Annette Bening rides the carpet-muncher express to ladylove town with Julianne Moore in The Kids are All Right. Annette's twins are more than all right when she does the b&b (boobs and bush) mambo in The Grifters (1990).

Jennifer Lawrence has yet to shed her clothes with cameras around, but she offered up a tempting tease when she wore a bikini on The Bill Engvall Show. For now, it's still winter for Mr. Skin's bone as far as Jennifer's concerned.

Mr. Skin congratulates all the beautiful and talented nominees, and extends with his one free hand this gentle reminder: Just because you show skin, doesn't mean you can't win! Just ask Meryl Streep.

Like the Golden Globes did earlier, this year the Academy had decided to reward the actresses who had the courage to get naked and/or make out with another chick on screen with a coveted Oscar nomination.

In the Best Actress category, four of the five nominees are naked on MrSkin.com.

Annette Bening, who was nominated for making out with Julianne Moore in The Kids Are All Right, showed off all 3 B's in The Grifters. Nicole Kidman, nominated for Rabbit Hole, revealed her own rabbit hole when she got fully nude in Billy Bathgate.

Natalie Portman, nominated for making out with Mila Kunis in Black Swan, is showing off her rear porthole in theaters this weekend in the romantic comedy No Strings Attached. And finally, Michelle Williams was nominated for baring boobs and butt in the NC-17 flick Blue Valentine.

So if Jennifer Lawrence—the one nominee who didn't get naked—doesn't win the Oscar, she'll know why.

The Screen Actor's Guild Awards recognize excellence in acting and we at MrSkin.com firmly (and we mean firmly) believe that the most excellent thing an actress can do on the screen is take her clothes off in well-lit, full-view nude scenes. With that in mind, here's a look at this year's SAG nominees and where they've done their best skin.

Natalie Portman, who's also up for a Golden Globe, was nominated for her role as a bi-curious ballerina in Black Swan, but to check out what's under her tutu you'll need to pick up the 2007 short Hotel Chevalier, where she bares butt and side boob eight minutes in.

Warren Beatty-bait Annette Benning was nominated for her role as a lesbian MILF in The Kids Are All Right. But you should check out Annette's fully nude performance at the 36-minute mark of The Grifters. It will give your pants a lifter.

Mr. Skin Hall-of-Famer give Nicole Kidman was nominated for Rabbit Hole. To see Nicole's own rabbit hole, fast forward to the 42-mnute mark of the gangster drama Billy Bathgate, where she stands fully nude in front of a 3-way mirror. It's a one-woman ménage-a-trois!

Finally, Hilary Swank got the nod for her role in Conviction, but to see her demonstrate the courage of her skin-victions, go pick up the gender-bending 1999 flick Boys Don't Cry. An hour and 22 minutes in, we see Hilary's hairpie and heinie when she's stripped of her drag king disguise. You'll spank and wank to Ms. Swank.

The Golden Globe nominations are in and all but two of the babes nominated for a best actress award have stripped on screen. And only Mr. Skin can tell you where their best nude scenes are!

In the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Drama, Halle Berry was nominated for Frankie and Alice, but if you want to spanky your franky, check her out in Monster's Ball. Nicole Kidman was nominated for Rabbit Hole and you can check out her rabbit hole in Billy Bathgate.

Natalie Portman got the nod for her role as a ballerina Black Swan, but to check out what's under her tutu you'll need to pick up Hotel Chevalier. And finally, Michelle Williams was nominated for Blue Valentine and if you don’t want blue balls, check her out in Incendiary.

In the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Comedy, Julianne Moore and Annette Benning were nominated for their role as lesbian MILFS in The Kids Are All Right. If you want to see if their tits are all right, check out Julianne's T&A in Body of Evidence and Annette's fully nude performance in The Grifters.

Anne Hathaway was nominated for her nude role Love and Other Drugs, so you'll want to get another look at her Mother Jugs in Havoc. The ever-popular Angelina Jolie was nominated this time for The Tourist, but to tour her naked body, go pick up the skinstant classic Gia.

No matter who wins, you'll be polishing your own trophy!
