Queen Latifah Topless, Do I Smell an Oscar? I Smell Something

It’s an unstated rule in Hollywood that if an actress wants to win a big award she has to bare both her soul and her body on screen in some unflattering manner. I could have gone an entire three lifetimes without seeing Queen Latifah naked. I’m not sure why her quest for a trophy has to involve the discomfort of so many others. In the HBO original film Bessie, Queen Latifah plays Depression era performer Bessie Smith who according to the script was very comfortable with her full-figured body. This was life before fat shaming on Twitter. Not so Utopian now, is it?
