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


If you're under the age of thirty, you probably know renowned British thespian Dame Maggie Smith from her role as Professor McGonagall in the Harry Potter series. But Maggie didn't always keep her English Tea & A hidden underneath those frumpy wizarding robes. In her prime, Maggie let one funbaggie flop onto the screen in California Suite. And wouldn't you know it, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences stood at attention and awarded her one erect little statue for her efforts.

Maggie showed off her mature mams only one other time, in 2003's My House in Umbria, but that role brought no Oscar gold. Maybe the Academy was just mad she waited so long to air out her golden globes once again.
