2. Kate Winslet
Kate Winslet basically made her name with a nude scene. She was already an established actress when 1997’s Titanic came out (she had already been nominated for an Oscar for 1996’s Sense and Sensibility). Still, the role alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in one of the biggest juggernauts in Hollywood history made her an established star. And key to the movie’s popularity was the romance with DiCaprio, centered on the sexy scene where he sketches her in the nude.
Winslet’s latest Oscar nod marks her seventh nomination, with several of the nominated roles involving graphic nude scenes (2008’s The Reader comes to mind – the movie that represents her only Best Actress win). This year’s role lets the 40-year-old keep her clothes on. She’s up for her role in Steve Jobs, where she plays Jobs’ loyal executive Joanna Hoffman.
