With the 2015 Oscar nominations announced this week, we thought we’d celebrate the moment by compiling a playlist of the nominees in various states of undress. No matter who wins or doesn’t, we’re all winners when these fine actors get nude on the big screen.
The mustachioed Mark Ruffalo lets his rod dangle and his ass air out while chatting with Meg Ryan in In the Cut. The pre-waxed Steve Carell shows off his hairy chest during a bedroom romp with Catherine Keener in The 40-Year-Old Virgin. A very young and sexy Benedict Cumberbatch serves up his ass in the rain in To the Ends of the Earth. Eddie Redmayne bares his post-poke cheeks during a sensitive moment in Powder Blue. A trip to the hole gives us a whole lotta ass from J.K. Simmons in Oz. The science fiction flick THX 1138 features some brief yet beautiful looks at Robert Duvall’s duff and buff body. He’s sci-fine! You gotta love prison scenes, because they always seem to provide a plethora of male nudity, such is the case with Bending All the Rules, a film that marked Bradley Cooper’s nude debut, where he flaunts his fine fanny alongside David Gail, a non-nominated hunk. Two for the price of one! Speaking of prison, Edward Norton goes fully nude in this less-than-sexy scene in the gritty flick American History X. Clint Eastwood really knows how to make our day, thanks to his ass-flashing scene of fornicating fun in Tightrope.
And the winner is…us!
