Alice Evans ran away with voting from the start for her impressive nude debut in an otherwise little seen film. Personally I find that Nikki Sanderson's high placing for a relatively brief nude scene reflects on her popularity with UK audiences as an ex-Corrie star rather than the scene itself, but let's not argue about matters of taste.
Interestingly, although the instruction was to vote for up to 5 scenes, the average number of scenes voted for by each voter was a measly 2.88. I'm not sure if this is because many voters couldn't find a full five - which seems somewhat unlikely as I had trouble narrowing it down to a top 10! - or because a lot of people didn't read the rules... Nonetheless, thanks to all who voted. I'd be interested to hear other's comments.
My own top 10 - which it took me a long time to decide on - are, in order, Sophie Winkleman, Alice Eve, Amy Beth Hayes, Kate Winslet, Tamzin Merchant, Claire Forlani, Rebecca Davies, Charlotte Riley, Emily Watson & Kristin Scott Thomas. I was in two minds about Sophie as the indisputably nude bits of her appearance in
Love Live Long are quite brief. Nonetheless, the very long, erotically charged scene in blatantly transparent underwear was, I decided in the end, as near as damn it nude and it was definitely the scene I most enjoyed this year. Striking that two of the blog top ten and three of my own personal list can only be seen in the UK via the wonders of the web as they have no UK release!
If you missed the chance to vote, you can still check out links to all the clips

I'm hoping to get up on the blog in the next few days non-nude clips from Shameless (Joanna Higson & Pauline McLynn) and Skins (Lisa Backwell). Stop back soon.
