Manatomy Awards Time!

 The 10^th Annual Manatomy Awards

Jake Gyllenhaal Wins Lifetime Achievement Award

In celebration of this weekend’s Academy Awards, Mr. Man proudly presents the Manatomy Awards: the only award ceremony to recognize the past year’s naked male achievements in film and TV. Often referred to as the nude Oscars, the big winners at this year's Manatomy Awards include Saltburn star Barry Keoghan who wins “Best Full Frontal” and out actor Jonathan Bailey who takes home two awards for his revealing scenes in Fellow Travelers.  “Best Picture” is awarded to the gay erotic drama Passages starring Ben Whishaw and Franz Rogowski, and Jake Gyllenhaal wins the coveted “Lifetime Achievement Award” for his numerous nude roles over the past two decades.  He follows last year’s winner, Antonio Banderas.

 

“Male nudity in film and television has come a long way since our first Manatomy Awards back in 2014,” said Mr. Man Managing Editor Steven Attanasie. “The sheer number of male nude scenes affords us the opportunity to create more categories and celebrate the depth and breadth of celebrities going naked every year.”

 

Streaming titles once again dominate this year’s Manatomy Awards.  Paramount Plus wins the “Best TV Show” award for Fellow Travelers.  Netflix wins the “Best Gay Scene” award for Elite.  The gay streamer Dekkoo wins the “Best Nudecomer” category for its series Patterns that featured a shower scene with breakout actor Jack Armstrong.    Hulu and Amazon Prime share the “Most Bootylicious Year” prize.  It is awarded to Jon Hamm for his two back baring scenes in 2023: one in Amazon Prime’s Good Omens and the other in Hulu’s Fargo.

 

This year’s list is more diverse than ever before.  South Korean actor Steven Yeun wins “Best Nude Debut” for his scene in Netflix’s award season-favorite Beef.  Latino actors Felipe Londoño, Mauricio Hénao, and Julián Cerati win recognition for their erotic make-out scene in Fake Profile and the Chinese-American trans actor and activist Leo Sheng is honored for his nudity in The L Word: Generation Q.

 

Several men over 50 take home awards this year, including C. Thomas Howell in Obliterated and Rob Lowe in Unstable, who won a joint award honoring The Outsiders co-stars for both going nude last year.  For the third year in a row, Murray Bartlett is honored with a Manatomy Award.  In 2022, he was awarded “Best Gay Scene” for The White Lotus.  In 2023, he won for his graphic romp in bed with Andrew Rannells in Welcome to Chippendales.  This year he wins for his intimate scene with Nick Offerman in The Last of Us.

6th Annual Manatomy Awards

Mr. Man Announces Winners for the 6th Annual

Manatomy Awards

Celebrating Hollywood's Best (Un)dressed Today, Mr. Man revealed the winners of the 6th Annual Manatomy Awards, the only ceremony that shines a spotlight on the past year’s naked male achievements in film and TV.  “For years, nude scenes were primarily the domain of female actresses,” says Phil Henricks of Mr. Man, the world’s leading online library of every male nude scene in the history of film and television.  Millions of fans flock to the site each month.  “That has been changing as each year there are more scenes and actors to choose from. We are celebrating the fine actors who have the balls (pun intended) to go naked.” 

Winners were chosen through a comprehensive process that included the editorial, production and marketing teams from Mr. Man.  They selected five contenders for each of their 43 categories and then sat in a conference room, re-watched all the scenes, narrowed down their selections and voted on their winners.  “It got heated in the room,” admits Henricks, citing Jake Gyllenhaal in Velvet Buzzsaw as an example.  “Jake came close, but in the end, it was decided that he didn’t show enough nudity.”
