Antonio Banderas: Original Sin
The ageless Antonio Banderas is nominated for Best Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his portrayal of Pablo Picasso in Nat Geo's Genius: Picasso. I wouldn't classify the actor's memorable sex scene with Angelina Jolie from Original Sin as Picasso levels of genius, but it's undoubtedly erotic. Stream Original Sin on Prime Video.

Issa Rae: Insecure
Not only is Insecure one of the best shows on TV, it's also one of the sexiest. There's a slew of steamy moments to choose from, but one of our favorites is watching Issa get her groove back in this hot as f*ck Season 2 offering. Stream Season 2, Episode 3 of Insecure on HBO Go.

Yvonne Strahovski: Manhattan Night
There are no shortage of Emmy noms when it comes to Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale. Will former Chuck standout Yvonne Strahovski take home the statuette for Best Supporting Actress in Drama Series? Who knows. But there's no question that the actress steamed up the screen with Adrien Brody in the 2016 mystery thriller Manhattan Night. The pair's impromptu tryst is not to be missed. Stream Manhattan Night on Hulu.

Milo Ventimiglia: This Is Us
When you think about NBC's This Is Us, what's the first thing that pops into your mind? We already know the answer: SEX Just kidding. But Emmy nominee Milo Ventimiglia did provide fans with an eyeful during the immensely popular pilot episode. Hmm, Milo wearing nothing but a Pittsburgh Steelers towel? No wonder Episode 1 was so popular. Stream the This Is Us pilot on Hulu.

Keri Russell: The Americans
Were we really that surprised when it was revealed that Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys were a real-life couple? Sure, these two are phenomenal actors, but you just can't fake the kind of sexual chemistry these two exuded on The Americans. In this memorable scene, the sultry spies are caught in the midst of a 69-session. This is one of the show's most unforgettable episodes, but there's no shortage of sexy moments from this addicting FX drama. Stream Season 2, Episode 1 of The Americans on Prime Video.

Sandra Oh: Sideways
Even though it seems like Grey's Anatomy has been on TV for the past 50 years, it's only been an ABC fixture since 2005. The year before its premiere, Killing Eve star and the former Dr. Cristina Yang appeared in Sideways, the movie famous for making millions of people hate merlot. Her quick sex scene, much like a fine wine, only gets better with age. You can rent Sideways on Prime Video.

Donald Glover: Girls
Donald Glover is a true Renaissance man. The Atlanta standout can do anything. Acting? Yep. Sketch comedy? Rapping? Writing? Producing? You know it. Thanks to Lena Dunham's popular series Girls, we can also add appearing in an HBO sex scene to the list. Glover made a memorable appearance during the first episode of Season 2. Stream Season 2, Episode 1 of Girls.

Betty Gilpin: Nurse Jackie
Betty Gilpin earned a much-deserved Emmy nom for her performance on GLOW, but before she was making her opponents pay as Liberty Belle, she was playing doctor on Showtime's Nurse Jackie. Gilpin's Carrie Roman embraced the seductive charms of dirty talk in this office quickie from Season 5's "Walk of Shame." It's basically what the sex scenes on Grey's Anatomy would be like if the series moved to cable. Stream Season 5, Episode 6 of Nurse Jackie on Netflix.

Tatiana Maslany: Orphan Black
Not only is Tatiana Maslany insanely talented, but Orphan Black, as any fan will tell you, is one of the most stealthy steamy shows on TV. While there are many different scenes from which to choose (and many different variations of Maslany), the pilot episode gifted fans with one of the hottest sex scenes in BBC America history. Stream the Orphan Black pilot on Prime Video.
