"The Academy pulled a complete one-eighty last year. They honored an incredibly unsexy film as the 2024 Best Picture winner (Oppenheimer), only to award a sex-work comedy-drama (Anora) in 2025 that featured multiple scenes of Best Actress winner Mikey Madison working it for the camera. I can't tell you what changed in between each Oscars ceremony, but I certainly wouldn't mind if 2026 continued to rock these awards presentations by awarding Michael B. Jordan for getting it on with a vampire in Sinners."
"2025's sexiest movie didn't hit theaters until right before the new year rolled around. The Housemaid, featuring a steamy sex scene between Brandon Sklenar and Sydney Sweeney, is the talk of the town so far ever since it premiered on December 19. The same goes for TV, where a Canadian hockey romance series called Heated Rivalrywhich features very little hockey and A LOT of sexis dropping jaws all over the world."
"Pillion Breaking away right out of the gate, Pillion stars Alexander Skarsgard and Harry Melling in a same-sex couple who engage in heavy BDSM. According to Skarsgard and director Harry Lighton, the original cut of the film was even raunchier than what they premiered to audiences at Cannes Film Festival in May. "There was one close up of a dick, a hard dick ... like down the barrel of the lens," Lighton told Variety."
Award ceremonies shifted from honoring restrained dramas to celebrating sex-forward films and performances, with Best Picture and acting winners reflecting that swing. Sexually explicit releases and TV shows are attracting attention, including The Housemaid's steamy scene between Brandon Sklenar and Sydney Sweeney and the Canadian series Heated Rivalry's emphasis on sex over sport. Pillion features a same-sex couple engaged in heavy BDSM, with the filmmakers acknowledging an even raunchier original cut that contained an explicit close-up. Pillion is slated for release on February 6. Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights adaptation reportedly opens with a public hanging.
