Oscar Nudity: Razzie & Oscar Winner Sandra Bullock Nude [PICS]

We here at Mr. Skin have no prejudice against the Razzie Awards- in fact, Showgirls (1995) is a certified gold pop toppin’ classic here at Skin Central. So it is with heads held high that we offer our one-handed salute to Sandra Bullock , who in 2010 made history by becoming the first actress to with both an Academy Award (for the Blind Side ) and a Razzie Award (for All About Steve ) in the same year. Sandra’s good-girl image and her reluctance to bare the B’s onscreen is sort of a chicken-or-the-egg scenario, except slightly less runny. Sandy is a tease in many of her roles, coming up to the edge of the nudity canyon but never taking a full dive in. A case in point is the Proposal (2009) , where she strips to the buff for a kooky shower scene with Ryan Reynolds , but strategically covers her candy throughout. You’re killing us, Sandy! The best Sandra for your bollocks is probably in Fire on the Amazon (1993) when, in the throes of steamy jungle love, just a hint of Sandy’s side boob can be seen in the shadows. When it comes to this comely comedienne, we’ll take what we can get. A friendly reminder from Mr. Skin, Sandra: showing skin and a squeaky-clean image don’t have to be mutually exclusive- just ask Julie Andrews ! Stay tuned for more Academy-Award winning nudity all this week on the Mr. Skin blog !

About That Time Courtney Love Saved Chris Rock From an Oscars-Related Fight

Maybe instead of soliciting advice from Judd Apatow , this year’s Academy Award co-host (and new Twitter user ) James Franco should be asking an actual former Oscar host for advice. Like Chris Rock, who in a new interview admitted that he almost got into a fight because of his stage material. Fortunately, Courtney Love was there to save him.

Some Nudity in Hatchet II of the Day

With a plot like this, I can’t believe this Hatchet II shit didn’t win an Academy Award… Marybeth escapes the clutches of the bayou-butcher Victor Crowley and returns to the swamp with an army of hunters and gunmen, determined to end Crowley’s reign of horror once and for all. This shit has a way better storyline than that Iraq War masturbatory shit that won last year…or whatever other bullshit smut Hollywood is celebrating cuz they are paid off and the shit is totally corrupt…staged…insider job bullshit that their little community is in on to scam the rest of America and distract them from what’s really important…like fucking… More importantly how did Hatchet I go under the radar…I mean shit with this storyline the first one must have been a fucking mind rape… At least there was nudity…something that always makes a video worth watching….and here are the clips… Sarah Agor….with her Best Supporting Actress performance of a slutty girl with daddy issues… Charlayne DeVillier…..with the blackest name on a hick….and her performance of a chubby white trash bitch who busts the POV killer…. Shit like this makes me wish I wasn’t too busy doing nothing all day so that I could write a movie…I figure if shit like this is being made…I could be the king of bad movies…I’ve got endless ideas for real low level crap with tits…Maybe one day.

Taraji P. Henson: Nude for PETA

This is the naked truth for Taraji P. Henson: she hates fur. The Academy Award nominee is the latest celebrity to sign on for PETA’s attention-grabbing, misguided campaign against animal cruelty. She says she watched the documentary I Am an Animal , in which viewers get an up close look at fur farms, and had an epiphany: “I saw this documentary, and I was riveted. I cried. Could you imagine somebody ripping your hair out, while you’re still awake, fully conscious? It’s ridiculous, for the sake of fashion.” Justin Bieber recently spoke out on behalf of PETA, as well. Sadly, though, he kept his clothes on . Henson will unveil this poster PETA’s New York Fashion Week Bash on February 10. It will also appear as a billboard in Los Angeles.

‘We didn’t get a nomination 4 best song! That sucks!’ the icon tweeted about ‘ You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me.’ By James Dinh Cher Photo: Frederick M. Brown/ Getty Images After the Academy Award nominations were announced on Tuesday morning, “Burlesque” star Cher made it clear she wasn’t going to be celebrating with the nominees.

While it was overlooked by the Academy, the “Burlesque” song recently scored a Golden Globe for Best Original Song. “We didn’t get a nomination 4 best song ! That sucks ! Diane’s song Is so beautiful !” Cher wrote . “It’s hard to understand how u win. Then she referred to her Globes win: “The Golden Globe 4 BEST SONG & not even get nominated by the OSCARS? Oh well it is..what it is ,,,,the sun is still shining !” Baffled by the snub, Cher even contemplated whether it was her role as the song’s performer that impacted its Oscar odds, writing, “maybe she would have had a better chance if someone else was singing it ?!! IT JUST CANT B HER SONG I” The Golden Globe awards are typically seen as a good forecast for the Oscars, but the awards aren’t a guarantee of Oscar love.
