So who do you think it will be. Here are my thoughts Shyla Jennings: I don't think she should win as much as I love her. I think her rate of scenes went way down this year, but she may be the safe choice because of her name recognition and because I suspect the AVN's don't really pay that much attention genre. Jenna Sativa: She's been putting in work and cranking out a lot of high quality scenes. If it was just about the sex, then she's a shoe-in, but she's not the best actress. Bree Daniels: Has a real shot I think. She came back with a vengeance and has made a lot of good scenes this year. Prinzzess: A personal fave, but I don't think it will happen because she only works with Girlfriends Films. Riley Reid: She's maintained a good balance between G/G and B/G, and has won awards before, so I think she has a good shot. Who do you think should win or least be nominated?
G/G performer is for exclusively g/g only performers, so Bree and Riley wouldn't qualify for the nomination. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if Riley got a best actress nomination for Missing given her popularity. Predicted Nominees: Shyla Jennings Kenna James Jenna Sativa Serena Blair Prinzzess Sasha Heart Charlotte Stokely Georgia Jones Elle Alexandra Mindi Mink Celeste Star Tanya Tate Jelena Jensen Vanessa Veracruz Darcie Dolce Differing Preferred Nominees: Kendra James for Darcie Dolce Tracy Lindsay for Vanessa Veracruz
Predicted Winner: Jenna Sativa Preferred Winner: Serena Blair Predicted & Preferred Winning Best G/G Sex Scene: Serena & Celeste in AI: Part 1.
Here are my predicted nominees, which I adjusted after reading Eva's exclusive g/g remark to qualify for a nomination: Shyla Jennings Jenna Sativa Kenna James Serena Blair Jelena Jensen Celeste Star Charlotte Stokely Sasha Heart Vanessa Veracruz Karlie Montana Prinzzess Kendra James Darcie Dolce I originally had Cassidy Klein and April O'Neil in my list but dropped them due to doing b/g during the Oct 2015 - Sept 2016 time period. Both outstanding g/g performers. I originally had Serena Blair as my favorite to win but when I went through Data 18 to make sure that they had not shot a b/g scene during the time period, I found that she really didn't shoot that much this year (about 10 scenes). I completely agree with Eva's choice for scene of the year. The AI scene with Serena and Celeste was my favorite g/g scene of the year. As for POTY, I believe that Jenna Sativa will be named GG Performer of the Year. Honestly, Shyla could be the winner every year due to acting ability and performance. However, Jenna has been by far the busiest g/g only performer this award year with numerous great performances. According to the Data 18 website, she has been in about 50 scenes this year compared to Darcie's 38, Kenna's 34 and Shyla's 32. Be careful with Data 18 though. They have a bug with their site that when you change pages it adds 20 to the scene count each time.
Hmmm, G/G only performers are the only ones that count huh? I didn't know that. In that case, I think nominations should include; Shyla Jennings Jenna Sativa Kenna James Serena Blair Jelena Jensen Celeste Star Charlotte Stokely Sasha Heart Vanessa Veracruz Ryan Ryans Prinzzess Val Dodds Darcie Dolce Elle Alexandra Aspen Rae I think the winner will be the safe choice of Shyla. The 2 that deserve to win in a tossup is between Jenna or Kenna James. I personally would want Prinzzess to win just for recognition for her overall body of work. Honorable Mentions: Tara Morgan - Dropped off Radar Lily Cade - literal red-headed stepchild of G/G Georgia Jones - Barley Worked Mindi Mink - Mostly with one company Tanya Tate - Just won recently, and not enough content Lynn Vega - Too New Ellena Woods - Too new, not enough content
My predictions for nomination Elle Alexandra Serena Blair Val Dodds Darcie Dolce Kenna James Shyla Jennings Georgia Jones Karlie Montana Prinzzess Ryan Ryans Jenna Sativa Adriana Sephora Spencer Scott Celeste Star Charlotte Stokely Vanessa Veracruz My prediction for winning Jenna Sativa She earned it. To Shyla Jennings She won that award 2 times. A third time would ne awesome for her. When Are the Nominatiosliat are released? I like such award Shows.

After giving this more thought I change my mind. Although she probably doesn't qualify because she's done some b/g stuff I would still give it to Abigail Mac... ...and here's why. I'll give a sports analogy. All the great players are so good that they inspire their team mates and make them perform better. This is Abigail Mac in any g/g scene; her sexuality is contagious, it spreads to her co-star(s) and it makes them up their game. I just watched her Girlsway scene with Samantha Rone & Hillary Scott. Damn it if that wasn't some of the hottest action that I've seen in a while.
I can't think of an all-girl scene starring Abigail that I haven't enjoyed. She always brings it! So if she can't win the real g/g performer of the year award then I must present Abigail Mac with SP Love's Girl/Girl Performer of the Year Award!
^ Yeah both don't qualify because they've done b/g. Just wanted to show some love for Abigail because I think that her girl/girl scenes have been on point this year.
Some of the best G/G performers also do B/G, so they shouldn't be disqualified. They should really just say that you need a minimum of x number of G/G scenes to be eligible for the award. This would also stop girls from winning that only did a couple scenes in a year and won because they're coasting on their past.
Hmmm, if they opened up the category to B/G performers, I think the Genre itself would just get overshadowed even more than it already does. I truly believe that it would be the end of G/G stars ever winning the award. I think they would just give it to who ever the hot B/G performer of the moment is and not really based on the actual quality of work. I mean they already do this when choosing best G/G scene of the year, almost always giving it to a B/G performer.
I agree with Lt. Frank Drebin. There should be a reasonable g/g scenes to b/g scenes ratio. Like no more than 50% b/g and no less than 50% g/g during a specific time period. It's not fair to penalize a performer who has consistently provided stellar girl-girl performances because they've decided to make more money and expand their career. According to iafd.com Abigail has done more girl-girl scenes this year than boy-girl scenes. If AVN believes as I do that she has had more remarkably strong girl-girl performances than any other performer in 2016 then I believe that she deserves the award.

Completely agree with Aya. Keep it g/g only for the reasons stated. It does seem unfair to an individual performer like Abigail Mac who is extremely strong in the genre while also doing b/g, but preserving the genre is more important to me. I definitely think opening it up to b/g performers would probably lead to the "it girls" sweeping it. I already don't like or agree with the marginalized status of g/g so I want to see g/g only performers take the few awards they are eligible for.
Here the Nominations List for Girl Girl Performer 2017 Aiden Ashley Lily Cade Jayden Cole Darcie Dolce Val Dodds Prinzzess Felicity Jade Shyla Jennings Jelena Jensen Ryan Ryans Jenna Sativa Celeste Star Charlotte Stokely Tanya Tate Vanessa Veracruz
^My Thoughts for my own amusement and anyone who might care: Aiden Ashley - Really isn't a G/G performer now since she does mostly B/G. The G/G she has done wasn't much and wasn't memorable. Lily Cade - Lily's a legend, but not enough highly visible mainstream work done this year imo. Jayden Cole - Not that popular or memorable of a G/G performer. Darcie Dolce - She gets points for quantity and visibility, but her scenes lack passion. Plus she's about to start doing B/G. Val Dodds - Tends to fade into the background in scenes and become generic, and has also slowed down her output. Prinzzess Felicity Jade - A real contender; always great scenes with a large variety of women, but being in the Girlfriends bubble and formula might be an issue. Shyla Jennings - Always a favorite, and this year is no exception. This may be her best year of high quality "big" scenes. Jelena Jensen - Never disappoints, but she doesn't hog the spotlight and always works to elevate her partners which is great but might not cost her the win. Ryan Ryans - If she worked more consistently, would have been a shoe-in. Jenna Sativa - A passionate and authentic real lover of women. I can see her winning. Only issue is lack of acting ability, but no one comes close to her raw sexual energy. Celeste Star - She's done some great work this year, but it's mostly been with Girlsway and fairly recently. Maybe if it was "G/G performer of the last few months" Charlotte Stokely - Dark Horse contender. Her name isn't the 1st to come up when you think G/G but she can compete with anyone in sex and acting. Tanya Tate - She's great, but the other contenders are too strong this year. Vanessa Veracruz - Vanessa was going strong, but after the fallout with Shyla and others, she stuck to her own site and Girlfriends films, which I think will knock her out of the running. So my top picks are: Shyla Jennings Jenna Sativa Prinzzess I think they might play it safe and give it to Shyla which you really can't argue against. But I really think Jenna is the next Shyla Jennings and should be recognized. But I also wouldn't mind Prinzzess getting some recognition for her years of excellent G/G work. Snubs (Who also should/could of have been nominated) Elle Alexandra - A true top tier G/G performer, can't believe she wasn't nominated. Karlie Montana - Same as Elle, Karlie should always be in the conversation when it comes to G/G. Kenna James - I'm surprised not to see her name. She's still G/G only and did some great work this year. Serena Blair - Her performance in AI alone should have gotten her the nomination. But she also did other great work for Girlsway and All Girl Massage. Sasha Heart - Always overlooked, but she did great work with a variety of G/G companies this year. Mindi Mink - Overlooked imo, did a lot of solid G/G work. Could have replaced Tanya Tate on the list.
To that. I think they might play it safe and give it to Shyla which you really can't argue against. But I really think Jenna is the next Shyla Jennings and should be recognized. I totally agree with Aya. We have to wait till january. Then we know who is the winner.
I find it laughable they nominated Ryan, Aiden, and Darcie but didn't nominate Serena, Elle, and Karlie. I can understand why Kenna didn't get a nomination since the Penthouse contract kept her out for the summer, but beyond that the list is OK. Serena would have won for me if she was nominated, but since she's not, I think Jenna wins it. Being as prolific as she was as well as being a Spiegler girl is going to help her win.
These AVN lists always have some puzzling choices. Here's my 2 cents: Aiden Ashley- g/g career started great, but hasn't worked enough or for the best companies. Jayden Cole- looks great, solid performer, doesn't work enough. Darcie Dolce-not my 1st choice, but a reasonable nominee. Val Dodds-looked incredible in dress at AVN last year, no other good reason to be a choice. Prinzzess Felicity Jade-deserves a lesbian lifetime achievement award, but not g/g performer of the year. Shyla Jennings-OK with her, but thought her best performances were a few years ago. Jelena Jensen- no real opinion on her, not a fan. Ryan Ryans- good performer who is often in some form of retirement. Jenna Sativa-would make the most sense, but had an even better year last year. Celeste Star-made sense as a choice about 4-5 years ago. Charlotte Stokely-reasonable nominee, tepid performer. Tanya Tate- if they are going the mommy route, but wouldn't be my choice. Vanessa Veracruz- haven't noticed her as much lately, reasonable nominee.
Well-deserved win for her to go along with her Xbiz win. I'm sure there are big things coming up for her in 2017. I had to laugh at Darcie Dolce's bitter reaction on twitter. It's good to see they rewarded someone with a real passion for women.
Jenna earned this award, she was very active in 2016. Hoping for a lot of hot gg Scenes with Jenna. Darcie Dolce's bitter reaction on twitter. What she wrote can't find it on her Twitter. She thought that she would win or what? To that. It's good to see they rewarded someone with a real passion for women. I totally agree. Edited by - TheWatcher on 1/22/2017 2:38:52 PM
^^Darcie said something along the lines of that she doesn't care about trophies and only her bank account. Which makes sense, cause you can you tell she's a hustler; She tried to kickstart a movie, went on DP star as a G/G only performer, and has already teased doing B/G this year. And although her performances have improved a lot, I never get the sense that she's ever really into her partners, unlike Jenna. What's even funnier is that have already had a couple of scenes together.
^Yeah. Her specific tweet can be found at https://twitter.com/DjDarcieDolce/status/823058688256589824

As much as I appreciate a Darcie Dolce only because she's STRICTLY G-G - THAT'S the awesome part . But she really can't carry Jenna Sativa's vagina-strap when it comes to performance. Darcie's a bit of a stiff - and just not as passionate or as "convincing" as Jenna - or a long line of other lesbian performers. Maybe she will improve with time but right now, she's kinda in Racquel Darrian territory. Jenna deserved it though EVERY year I think Celeste Star has to be at least given consideration. Lana Rhoades will be top g/g performer of 2018, watch and see!
^ Celeste Star deserves some type of life time achievement award for all of her roles in g/g porn. That woman consistently brings the heat in every scene she does.
^^I agree about Darcie, but she will be out of the running if she follows through on her promise to do B/G this year. And Lana can't win because she does B/G. Maybe she can win G/G scene of the year, but it doesn't seem like she will be doing all that much G/G this year anyways. And Celeste Star deserves a nom, but she and few other girls can match the workrate of Jenna Sativa who has done so many scenes. I wish my personal fave Georgia Jones would get some love, but she's just not active enough.

Celeste is amazing. Not even close to my physical type but as you say she brings the heat so much to her scenes she cannot be denied. Glad to see Jenna won, she deserves it. Edited by - BlackSix on 3/5/2017 5:38:12 PM
