Best Use of (Gratuitous?) Nudity of the Year

Awarded to the film of the award year deemed to have used nudity in either an effective or unusually exploitative way. This can include any degree and form of either male or female nudity. “Gratuitous” is used parenthetically in the award title to give voters flexibility in how they approach the award. Some may choose films that show nudity in an artistic manner to convey sensuality, vulnerability, or other emotional effect. Others may choose to consider silly, raunchy, over-the-top depictions of nudity in the vein of Porky’s and similar fare.
