Since 1927 Hollywood has honored its own with an annual gathering of its most luminous stars and top-tier creative forces, singling out the crowning achievements of the previous year with the presentation of foot-high golden men affectionately known as "The Oscars."
Officially the Oscars are called The Academy Awards and, even more officially, they are the highest accolades doled out by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences each February. Among the most familiar categories are Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay. What you may not know is that the Oscars are also a hotbed of breast actresses.
Here at Skin Central, we aim to celebrate nudity in film in ever new and evolving ways. When examining this year's roster of thespians nominated for Best Actress in a Lead Role, it occurred to me that each one of them had previously performed on camera in the buff!
Cum-sider the following:
NOMINEE | 2006 FILM | NUDE IN | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pen?pe Cruz | Volver | 8 movies, including Vanilla Sky (2001) (Picture: ) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Judi Dench | Notes on a Scandal | 2 movies, including A Midsummer Night's Dream (1968) (Picture: ) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Helen Mirren | The Queen | 13 movies, including Savage Messiah (1972) (Picture: - ) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Meryl Streep | The Devil Wears Prada |
Silkwood (1983) (Picture: ) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kate Winslet | Little Children | 8 movies, including Little Children (Picture: ) This revelation of ravishers in the raw prompted me to create a new wing of the Skin Laboratories dedicated to the bold new science of Skinenomics. My crack team got to crunching the numbers (among other things) to come up with mam-thematical evidence that proves how appearing naked on screen concretely boosts an actress's odds of winning an Academy Award! With a guarantee that this year's victor will have illuminated the silver screen with bare skin, I wondered how many previous Best Actress winners had unveiled themselves prior to taking home the trophy. Skinterestingly, everyBest Actress honoree since 1988 has flaunted flesh on film!
