Hollywood's 3-hour long festival of mutual masturbation comes this Sunday, folks! To prep you for the Academy Awards, let's breeze through the beefcake honored for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor nominations, in all their shirtless glory. The winner is...
Mark Ruffalo
Actor in a Supporting Role
The Kids are Alright
Mark's been a scruffy-faced, sexy fave to fans for many years now, and it's exciting that this talented hunk is getting noticed by the Gods of Hollywood. Back in 2003, he did a bit of full frontal for a film called In the Cut. We had forgotten it's existence, probably because it also starred Meg Ryan.
Another shirtless shot from In the Cut. Ruffalo sure ruffles our feathers!
Jeremy Renner
Actor in a Supporting Role
The Town
We skipped The Town because of the silly poster of two masked men with machines guns and nun's habits. Guess you can't judge a film by its poster. Jeremy here scored big with an Oscar nom. From how he looks in the shower, he's always a winner to us.
Christian Bale
Actor in a Supporting Role
The Fighter
He's gotten himself recognized by the Academy for the boxing drama, but we first recognized our love for him in American Psycho. Sure, he played a ego-maniacal murderer, but that body still amazes! And who could forget his running nude with a chainsaw? (Next pic, please.)
Ahhh... thank god for the screen grab. Thank you, Christian, for this flash of peen.
Javier Bardem
Biutiful
Actor in a Leading Role
He first caught our gay eyes in Before Night Falls. Before that, his swinging dick caught the eyes of many a Spaniard in a 1994 Spanish film called El Detective y La Muerte. Mmmm...delisioso! If you yearn to see this clip in motion, click here.
Jeff Bridges
Actor in a Leading Role
True Grit
Taking over the John Wayne role in the remake of the classic western sure took some balls...which we'd like to see. Jeff's rarely been on a Most Sexy list, but he's got a swagger all his own. Check out this shot from an 80s film with which we're unfamiliar. Shoot on us, baby!
Jesse Eisenberg
The Social Network
Actor in a Leading Role
Jesse's portrayal of young billionaire Mark Zuckerberg doesn't immediately come off as sexy, but twinky Jesse has an allure all his own. We don't where this shot comes from, but we'd friend this babe in the woods any day. (God we hope he's 18 here!)
James Franco
Actor in a Leading Role
127 Hours
Last but certainly not least is the always hot James Franco. He's been one of our continuous favorites, ever since we saw these still shots from 2000's long forgotten teen rom-com Whatever It Takes. That body. Those lips. Those nipples. That pit. That pouch! James, you're our dream Hollywood bad boy! We'd certainly love to hold your Oscar.
