Mr. Skin: The Other Golden Globes

comment

Sure, the recently nom-announced Golden Globe awards are fine if you're into celebrating "artistic achievement," but where do you go for a critical rundown of the best celebrity nudity in film and TV for 2009? Mr. Skin, of course! ---

The leading naked-actress (and actor, no discrimination for Mr. Skin) index named Eva Amurri the top nude-scene performer of 2009 for her excellent work as a stripper/student in the just-ended third season of Showtime's Californication. Incidentally, she's the daughter of Susan Sarandon--but this award is sure to get Amurri out from behind mom's shadow once and for all. The complete list:

1. Eva Amurri (Californication)

2. Jessica Biel (Powder Blue)

3. Amber Heard (The Informers)

4. Anna Paquin (True Blood)

5. Rachel Blanchard (Spread)

6. Betsy Rue (My Bloody Valentine 3-D)

7. Alice Eve (Crossing Over)

8. Julianna Guill (Friday the 13th)

9. Alanna Ubach (Hung)

10. Malin Akerman (Watchmen)
