Actor in a Supporting Role 🎞️
Nominees:
Yura Borisov: Anora
Kieran Culkin: A Real Pain
Edward Norton: A Complete Unknown
Guy Pearce: The Brutalist
Jeremy Strong: The Apprentice
Most years, when I do my list of naked nominees, I include a few shots of each actors from their nudity resume. This year, not only did two of the nominees not do any nudity, (Culkin and Strong) Each were also nominated for a Golden Globe. You can check out my post on the Golden Globes from this past January on FH HERE:.
This year, I decided to focus on a stand out nude scene from one of the actors, for this category, I choose Edward Norton. I know Norton gets a lot of acclaim for his action movies, Fight Club and The Incredible Hulk. My favorite Norton performances were in psychological dramas, most notably Red Dragon, and one of my favorite performances from a young actor, Norton's turn in Primal Fear.
Although a difficult film to watch, Norton was also a stand out in American History X. Although I try not to include many nude scenes featuring violence and sexual assault, I included this scene as it's not only Norton's most on-screen skin exposure, it also featured a quick frontal.
As much as I love Norton, and Timothée Chalamet, I have not seen, nor really plan to see, A Complete Unknown. I have a lot of respect for Bob Dylan, especially his civil rights and social justice activism, he's not a singer or performer I've ever really been drawn to. I'm guessing though, that I'll eventually catch it once it begins streaming.

If you want to check out my previous posts on the nominees, just click their name above. I decided this year, to focus on a nude scene from nominee Sebastian Stan that I don't think I featured before. I've been lusting after Stan ever since first seeing him on screen in The Covenant. (HERE:)
My crush turned to becoming a huge fan and respecting Stan's work after watching him in the one and only season of Political Animals. I loved the Sigourney Weaver led drama, and Stan was great as her gay son. As much as I love Stan, I could not bring myself to watch The Apprentice. I'm sure he's great, but I have ZERO interest in seeing anything related to the hateful, racist asshole, currently occupying the White House.
For this piece, I chose Stan's gymnastic sex scene from the 2015 sports comedy The Bronze. Actress and writer Melissa Raunch as admitted most of her parts in the scene were done by a body double who was a Cirque du Soleil dancer. Although I'm sure Stan used a body double for some of this scene, (I'd love to know his body doubles name...) Raunch states Stan actually did much of what we saw on screen.
'We wrote it as ‘the most crazy epic gymnastic sex scene ever. It really was a porno script, essentially. But Sebastian was so fantastic and he went for so much of it. He could have just said, ‘Have my body double do it,’ and instead he came to set in his robe and said, ‘Okay, let’s do this.’
Melissa Raunch
'Every time I slammed into her, I was like, ‘Oh my God, are you okay?’ And she was like, ‘Just go for it!'
