Going topless helps women get Oscars, I think
February 19, 2010I've been debating this fact with my coworkers over the past week, and I really believe going topless in a film, or any nudity, helps a woman's chance of being recognized by the Academy.
Think about Kate Winslet.
How about Halle Berry.
And if I remember correctly, Renee Zellweger did the deed in "Cold Mountain."
All of these women were at least nominated for their roles, and coincidentally, they showed a little skin.
Nothing is wrong with that, especially if you're a watching.
Maggie Gyllenhall, who is nominated this year for "Crazy Heart," shows some skin in here role while doing the deed with Jeff Bridges.
But I think the kicker is that a woman has to do this in an "artsy" film. Most of what Winslet does is "artsy." Halle did it in "Monster's Ball."
I've looked over who has been nominated over the past decade for best actress or best supporting actress (and its really over the past decade) that woman have started to take off their clothes for infamy.
I just hope actors won't have to start going bottomless to be recognized.
