Bethany prefaces the list: They say in Hollywood that directors choose their male leads based on who they want to be, and their female leads based on who they want to fuck. Cynical, but true. Some women wouldn’t even have careers if it weren’t true. I would argue that the same kind of process goes into who gets nominated and wins Oscars, to a certain extent. Otherwise, how to explain Melanie Griffith’s Oscar nomination? Otherwise, how to explain why the average age of male Oscar recipients is so much higher than the average age of female Oscar recipients? Do actors get better with age, but actresses get worse? Anyway, here’s a list of the five actresses in recent memory who were least deserving of the shiny statuette, but got it because they’re sexy.

5. Nicole Kidman: also awarded because of the trend of glamorous actresses being taken more seriously if they de-glam themselves.
