I hope you forgot the sarcasm. First, I can't think of the last time an actress won an academy award for a role that was being naked for being naked's sake. I honestly can't think of very many where nudity was even involved. I decided to take a look starting with 1970, now I can't speak for every single winner since I haven't seen every single one, but of the 42 awards, Fonda's for Klute, Foster's for the Accused, Paltrow's for Shakesphere in Love, and Kidman's for the Hours are the only ones that I know for sure had nudity involved. The ones I don't know are the two wins by Glenda Jackson, Lange's win for Blue Sky, and Cotillard's for La Vie De Rose. The rest were not for nudity.

Second there is a huge difference between voluntarily being publicly naked and involuntarily being publicly naked.
