As We Count Down to the 81st Annual Academy Awards on February 22nd, Mr Skin Pays Tribute to the Twenty Actresses Who Took Home Oscar Gold for Films in Which They Flashed Flesh

People remember that Halle Berry was the first black woman to win an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role. What doesn't get mentioned much (at least outside of the Mr Skin offices) is that she was also the first woman to win an Oscar for performing awesomely explicit doggy style interracial sex on screen. Halle's performance in Monster's Ball stands out in every aspect: as a top-of-her-game acting achievement as well as an on-top-of-Billy-Bob-Thornton sexual screen success. Here's hoping that the Academy continues to celebrate bold nudity and slap-you-in-the-face amazing sex scenes for years to come.

Monster's Ball Brings More Boobs on Blu-Ray

Until now, if you wanted to get all of Halle Berry's outstanding nudity in Monster's Ball, you had to scrounge up the European version of the movie—or become a member of Mr Skin, of course.

But November 4th marked two milestones in black history: the election of the first African-American president of the United States, and the first time that Americans could find Halle Berry's extended Monster's Ball nude scenes at their local video retailer.

The film was released on Blu-ray last Tuesday, and to Mr Skin's delight, the disc contains Halle's uncut, un-freaking-believable sex scene with Billy Bob Thornton. So even if you've watched your old copy of Monster's Ball hundreds of times, make sure you catch the new high-def pics and vids that are new today at MrSkin.com. See if you can spot the differences. It'll be like playing a grown up version of the picture comparison in Highlights magazine.

And check back tomorrow for Blu-ray pics and vids from Wild Things.
