NEW YORK, Feb. 29 (UPI) -- Diablo Cody, who won an Oscar in Los Angeles this week for her "Juno" screenplay, said she was the one who posted the semi-nude photos of her on the Internet.

The topless pictures have been the topic of much discussion in the media and on gossip blogs this week.

"Hey! Did you guys hear about the (pictures) I voluntarily posted on the Internet myself?" the New York Post quoted Cody as writing on her MySpace page. "What a tantalizing 'scoop!' Seriously, I thought nudity was only a scandal if the photos were leaked by some crumb-bum rat or vengeful ex. ... They can dress me up, they can give me awards, they can coach me on the right responses, and they can sand the callouses off my giant (expletive) feet, but I will always be me. And I will never be ashamed."
