I'm surprised Romi Rain didn't get nominated. I would like to see her get nominated and win. She's a good performer who presents herself well online. I never seen any Twitter drama from her.
Agree completely. Nothing against those nominated as there's some very deserving names there, but Angela is one of the few people I'd say that could have (or should have) made both lists. “No man’s life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session” - Mark Twain

She's one of my personal favorites, however, I feel like she was M.I.A. for much of 2016. Whereas last year, she seemed to be appearing in great scenes for every site and studio out there.Agreed, it's nice to see Chanell get some love; hopefully this nomination will help get her more work next year. I also agree that AJ Applegate, Keisha Grey and Megan Rain all have a good shot at winning, but I'd also throw Abella Danger into the mix; I expect one of those four will win it.
Adriana got robbed last year. If they didn't give it to her last year they probably won't give it to her this year when she hasn't shot as much. I don't think anyone else had the year AJ had and should probably win it. My rankings for 2016 would be AJ Applegate >> Abella Danger > Megan Rain >> Keisha Grey >>>> All the rest
^ Romi what matters is that you are loved among your fans who buy your scenes, give you gifts among other things support you, too bad that AVN continues to disappoint not only in the nomination but those who are awarded in some categories bleh... About the predictions If I were to bet my money with 100% sure I would bet on AJ, this year with the showcases, the dozens of scenes that she recorded and her performance in them always be something very enjoyable to watch without doubt she takes this year. GO AJ!
Most of the ladies vying for Female Performer of the Year are definitely qualified but I believe there are some factors that will hinder some of the contestants: 1. NO REPEAT WINNERS. Both Riley and Annika were excellent choices but I think they are eliminated because outside of Tori Black ( 2010, 2011 ) there have been few repeat winners in my recollection. Personally, I think that's a good thing. Spread the wealth around. 2. THE " SPIEGLER " EFFECT. The Spiegler Girls have been synonymous with POY in recent years. Whether the " fix " is in or not, I just don't believe this is going to be ANOTHER " Spiegler " year. Sorry A.J., you're definitely a worthy candidate. 3. SHOWTIME'S AVN SHOW 2015 & 2016 HAS painted Adriana, Megan and Keisha as " poor sports " the past 2 years ( Adriana 2015 ) ( Megan & Keisha last year ) as a result, I THINK it hurts their chances. 4. UNDEREXPOSURE??? Chanel, Katrina and Sara are all outstanding performers but I'm afraid they don't have the " name " recognition some of the other girls have. 5. THAT LEAVES US WITH 5: VICKY CHASE, AUGUST AMES, AIDRA FOX, VERONICA RODRIGUEZ AND JILLIAN JANSON. 5. VERONICA RODRIGUEZ HAS her own production company but I'm not sure it is big enough to make a difference here with AVN 4. AUGUST AMES I think she is close...very close but just short THIS YEAR. 3. VICKY CHASE Obviously, a known talent who is more than deserving but she harkens the image of a battle tested contender. 2. JILLIAN JANSON has really been out there since she made her debut. I love her work ( especially with Michael Ninn ) and she could win. However, in the end, I had to make a choice and for me, the 2017 POY will be AIDRA FOX. Probably a " dark horse " for many but I believe her work merits the nod. Well, that's my pick. I tried to take a " reasoned " approach to this and it is, by no means, the final word but it's MY PREDICTION. Good luck to all the nominees!!! Edited by - Uncle Gibby on 12/4/2016 4:42:11 PM
Chechik should win it b/c she's still awesome, and she was deserving last year. Otherwise, the following would all be worthy this time around: Abella Danger Keisha Grey Megan Rain Edited by - fu_q on 12/15/2016 9:40:08 PM
Katrina Jade was 2017 XBIZ Female Performer of the Year. Who would you like to see win out of the following nominees? Who do you think will actually win? Female Performer of the Year Anikka Albrite August Ames A.J. Applegate Vicki Chase Adriana Chechik Abella Danger Aidra Fox Keisha Grey Chanell Heart Katrina Jade Jillian Janson Sara Luvv Megan Rain Riley Reid Veronica Rodriguez

If Adrianna hasn't won it by now, I am not sure what else she can do. I think we have to just accept she is not connected the right way or AVN doesn't want her as their representative. There are a lot of factors into this choice that go beyond how many scenes someone did, how many sex acts they perform, and so forth.......Life goes on. There are always a good 6 - 10 women that have legitimate arguments to be POTY depending on who your favorites are, and each group of fans will be pissed off their choice didn't win. I understand a POTY award makes money for the winning performer in terms of higher scene rates, more traffic to her personal websites, higher rates if she escorts, and so forth... however, I think it has to be at a point where it is not taken so seriously b y the fans because it is not a logical and easy to judge thing. This isn't like a sports award when you have measurable stats like points or home runs or gold medals. I have my personal performers of the year (and no, I can not just pick one!), and enjoy and reward their work by paying for their scenes and websites. Edited by - A_Fan on 1/15/2017 6:39:29 PM

Yeah, it is a puzzle to me. I think AVN should be considering someone they can present to a mainstream audience. what we like here at gonzo loving ADT is not the mass audience. Romi Rain is the kind of choice that they should promote because she has that elite porn star look and presence, is articulate and intelligent, professional, doesn't do stupid stuff on twitter, and has no drug problem on display. She doesn't fit the anti-porn establishment's view of the train wreck abused drug addicted porn girl, and is the kind of person who would make a great representative. She is up in that level of Lisa Ann and Asa Akira in terms of how she could penetrate the mainstream if given the right platform, and she performs at a high level doing most sex acts the hardcore fans want to see. She has that complete package that very few have. Edited by - A_Fan on 1/15/2017 6:45:27 PM
Sara (who has 313 performer credits) now has an AVN profile. It reads: "PROFILE April 16, 2013 / 12:11 PM Sara Luvv in Little Anal Vixxxens (Evil Angel)" Looks pretty suss to me - Little Anal Vixxxens was released on 14 March 2016. By way of comparison here is the AVN profile for Sophie Sativa. Who? You may well ask - IAFD. There seems to be no Luvv lost between AVN and the magnificent Sara. More power to her, I say.
I think AJ Applegate deserves it this year. I would not be shocked if Adriana Chechik wins it in a "make good" pick.

Should win: Abella Danger Will win: Adriana Chechik One of those things where Abella had the better year, but Adriana deserves it more for the body of work to date. That's usually how this award seems to go. Also if Dani Daniels or Anikka Albrite shot porn within this year's nomination window I must have missed it.

I saw people posting in the 2016 version of this thread, so I found the right one for purposes of continuing the discussion and definitely NOT to promote my own prediction. Adriana Chechik is an awesome performer, and a very deserving choice. Congrats to her.

Congrats to Adriana Chechik, can't say she wasn't worthy of the honor. Honestly, though, I do have to admit I am a bit disappointed that neither of my favorites - AJ Applegate or Keisha Grey - won this award.
