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)
