10 Oscar-Worthy Lesbian Sex Scenes from 2015

And you know what that means? It's time for the annual debate over our favorite (not-real) Oscar category: Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene. It's been a good year for those of us who love a good (/intense/sexy/heart-wrenching) same-sex love story, especially considering Carol - about two women in the 1950s who have a passionate affair - is actually nominated for several Oscars (more on that later). But Carol isn't the only instance of awesome female queerness in cinema this year. Here are 10 films featuring intimacy that well, nailed it, and in our opinion definitely deserve to be considered for the top prize in sex scene accomplishments. Don't hesitate to tell us your favorites in the comments!
