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.
