| skronker Notable Legendary Icon Scopophiliac 9780 Posts 9/02 | Here's the list. Biggest surprise: No Alexis Texas in the best female category. (Unless I missed something). Overall, I didn't find much to quibble with ... the strongest contenders in the main categories are generally the strongest contenders. Always a few gimmes that don't make sense. [Link] |

| ADT44 Member 876 Posts 7/09 | 125 categories.... Never would have thought that there were so many categories.....a bit overkill if you'd ask me. I get tired just scrolling through those lists.... There are like 5 or 6 scenes/movies I have seen from all those lists. Also from best new starlets no name rings a bell,oh one, sadie west. Same goes for the actress/actor list, I only know lisa ann because she made headlines here in Europe with that nailin pailin video.That's why I also bought that dvd.... I should shame myself! But I must say I'm glad to see my guys Justin Slayer and Josh Stone being nominated for one of the best IR orientated movies I have seen this year: south beach cruisin #3 with Esperanza! Too bad she isn't nominated.... ![]() Also glad to see Jonni darko and francesca le in one of them lists; I hope they both win. Where's Jay sin, btw? Great director, imo! Fore those who have been in the audience at previous AVN awards: boring to sit through 125 categories or no? I think I would stick to the Expo part and meet my current favorite girls and directors for some chit-chat and a pic. |

Let me just say congratulations to all the nominees. Yes, boring to sit thru the awards. Well, that's if the bar is closed. Do they still do tables at the award ceremony or is it just seating? |

| HeyNow Oblivious Gold Star Hey! 5965 Posts 1/03 | And of course, it great to see Jennaration X with quite a few. I'll bet Jenna is busting at the seams right now in a good way. I'm a little surprised (but happy) to see over a dozen listed in the New Video Production Company category. The biggest miss I see is no Amia Moretti/Miley in the Best New Starlet category. Otherwise my eyes are quite bleary from even spending 10 minutes looking at it. |

| Derek117 Senior Member 1605 Posts 1/06 | My complaint is that at Forty-nine pages long (and too many categories to count), AVN is attempting to recognize way too many sexvids, internet sites, and genres. Which devalues all of the nominations, and those nominated. AVN has always been the cheerleader--not an objective reporter--for the industry; and their sexvid reviews and Awards have never been about Quality or even what's best from a business point of view. In 2010 what the industry needs is a new "feel," or re-boot, that will help it find new loyal and PAYING customers. This means a well thought out strategy and a marketing campaign that delivers the message. These nominations are another year of "toss everything against the wall, and see what sticks." And confirms for me that the people in the porn industry have no idea what direction to take the biz next--which is, in part, why the customer base has fallen so dramatically in recent years. |

| Derek117 Senior Member 1605 Posts 1/06 | Looked over the list again, and want to offer Special Congrats to Devon for selection to the Hall of Fame. During her career she has endured some of the worst experiences in the biz, and it's nice to see her honored into the Hall of Fame. On the negative side, once again I gotta wonder "what" Jamie Summers did to piss off AVN so much that they still haven't put her in the Hall--17 years after her retirement. I guess being the First Vivid Girl (remember Ginger Lynn was a Partner in the early days of Vivid), having starred in the first major porn series (The Brat), and having been one of the first Girl-Next-Door types in porn (which helped introduce more couples to porn) doesn't earn her props with AVN. Sounds very "high school" to me. |
| monkey power Member Tim? 868 Posts 1/03 | News to me are the Virtual titles for Sunrise Adams and Lisa Ann. Something to check out. I like that there's a Best Tease Performance for someone to win! And some pornographers had a vision this year: they saw two porn genres and said "By God, we can combine them!" So we got things like "Me Squirt You Long Time" and some kind of big boob glory hole deal. And Kagney's newbie award category seems like a breeze for her. I'm not commenting on the other ladies' ability as performers so much as just saying Kagney has won the visibility battle by a wider margin than I'm used to seeing in a new starlet competition. And here's the all-important category: Clever Title of the Year Barrack's Big Stimulus Package, Rezko/Pulse Boob-E, Pulse Pictures A Brutha Came in Your Mutha, Black Ice Ltd. Cash for Chunkers, Lethal Hardcore/Pulse Coctomom, Devil's Film It's OK! She's My Step Daughter, Devil's Film It's Big It's Black It's Inside Joanna, BurningAngel/Vouyer Jon & Kate Fuck Eight, Devil's Film Piggies for Porkin', Score Group/Pure Play Running a Train on Katie Kayne, Emily Rigby Productions Sexual Blacktivity, Jennaration X/Jules Jordan Twitter My Shitter, Vouyer Media War on a Rack, Zero Tolerance Entertainment Who's Nailin' Paylin?, Hustler Video Your Mom Tossed My Salad, Lethal Hardcore/Pulse Edited by - Monkey Power on 11/26/2009 5:08:18 PM |
| Crucifixio_Jones Senior Member Arrogant & Obnoxious Narcissist 4727 Posts 10/03 | We have FIVE girls on the list who are repeating as FPOTY nominees. Belladonna, Bobbi Starr, Ashlynn Brooke, Jesse Jane and Jenna Haze were all nominated for Female Performer of the Year last year (one could hardly be blamed for feeling that, for some reason, AVN deliberately nominates the larger companies' contract girls, regardless of what they've actually accomplished throughout the year. I almost had a heart attack when I saw that they actually NEGLECTED to nominate either Stormy Daniels or Jessica Drake). Jenna Haze is your reigning FPOTY and a former Best New Starlet winner (2003). Lexi Belle, Tori Black and Chayse Evans have all "moved up", so to speak; all of them having been nominated for Best New Starlet last year. I recall there being a tiny bit of uproar over Lexi Belle's nomination, in fact, since she wasn't exactly "new" at the time; she had been active at least 3-4 years prior to the nod. Both Amber Rayne and Ann-Marie Rios were nominated in the Unsung Starlet category last year. I'm actually very happy that AVN took notice of Ann-Marie and all the fantastic work she's been putting in this year but how they can herald her yet completely overlook Julia Ann (once again, relegating their love of this woman to MILF/Cougar Performer of the Year for the second year in a row) in this category is beyond me. Congratulations to Kayden Kross, Misty Stone and Nikki Rhodes (whose nomination baffles me; hadn't she stopped doing b/g? Or was that Faye Reagan? I get confused...) A huge congratulations to two very special nominees: Dana DeArmond, who I thought deserved a FPOTY nomination LAST year but to have been snubbed this year would have been a seriously GRAVE injustice; I'm glad they didn't. And Kristina Rose, overlooked last year for Best New Starlet, it seems as though AVN has finally seen the error of their ways. ------ Female Performer of the Year Will win: Kristina Rose - In my eyes, a forgone conclusion. Rose has been a consistently entertaining force of nature all year long. Other than Bobbi and Dana, I don't see anyone else in this category even coming close to upsetting what I believe to be pre-determined. Kristina will not be denied. Should win: Kristina Rose - AVN's been known to get it wrong but if Kristina gets presented the award, they'll have gotten it absolutely right. Dark horse pick: Dana DeArmond - A win by Dana would shock the world...but not me. Best New Starlet Will win: Kagney Linn Karter - The industry seems to be inexplicably in love with her. To me, the big-boobed blonde is the definition of a cookie-cutter pornstar with almost zero verve or personality to set her apart from her contemporaries but hey...she's blonde with big boobs and we know how voters and consumers seem to love those types (how else do you explain Jesse Jane and Ashlynn Brooke's guaranteed FPOTY nominations EVERY year?), which is why KLK's visibility this year has been as high as its been. Should win: Asa Akira - The complete antithesis to what Kagney Linn Karter is and represents. An all-natural Asian brunette with on-screen charisma to burn. Of course AVN will fuck her over. Dark horse pick: Sadie West - It might be a case of too little, too late but the second Sadie West was free of the confining shackles that was New Sensations, she showed us what she was REALLY made of. What that is, some may find to be borderline-psycho, over-the-top and possibly drug-fueled histrionics but you can't deny that it's entertaining. A seriously huge omission in this category, even if she has zero shot to win against the likes of KLK and Double A, is Amia Moretti/Miley. ------ For a second year in a row, it seems like the vast majority of the REAL talent can be found in the Unsung Starlet field. A lot of my favorites from last year (Kelly Divine, Phoenix Marie, Carmen McCarthy and Angelina Valentine) find themselves on this list, not to mention the likes of Andi Anderson, Charley Chase (who is my PERSONAL FPOTY), Holly Wellin (?), Kapri Styles and Savannah Stern. |

| pokerman Member J lo booty 404 Posts 4/09 | I think her rise this year has been unbelievable. Last year i could only remember her for doing a few bangbros scenes. Ashlynn Brooke is a doll but come on. Her scenes are always the same. Jesse Jane is another one that confuses me why she is on the list Maybe because she is a big name. Alexis Texas needs to get a bit wilder in her scenes next year and she will be up there. She has improved a lot has Alexis. She is better than Jessie and Ashlynn imo. Kelly Divine should have been nom. I don't know why Esperanza Gomez is not up for best newcomer. Have they not see what she does to guys. These shows should be voted by the fans.

| monkey power Member Tim? 868 Posts 1/03 | Jesse Jane does have that crazy circus energy, in addition to being a big name, so it kind of makes sense for her to round out the field of nominees. I mean it's not inexplicable. Maybe they saw Alexis as last year's supernova, this year's meh? I haven't been keeping close tabs on her, for example. She entertains quite well whenever I do check in on her, tho. Ann Marie or Tori Black would be okay choices for performer. I see why you're saying Rose but I don't really get her, you know? So I'd have no problem with her as fpoty but if there were NFL style playoffs to decide POTY, and if the stadium was my crotch, then Ann Marie would end up with the award. Speaking of which, this award they get.... is it a normal trophy or is it insertable? |

| BlackSix All-Star Member pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world 12377 Posts 9/07 | Anyways, I agree that Kristina should and probably will win. Great to see Amber Rayne get the recognition, I'm shocked actually as she mostly works in left-field stuff no? Asa Akira would be my pick as well but I like Kagney more than CJ, but I've only seen her scene in Curvy Girls 4 where I thought she projected a refreshing and fresh personality, and I'm not big on blondes.

| BumBum Member 395 Posts 1/07 | It also probably helps attendance at the show among performers. Who would pass on it if they were up for an award? |
| Cuddly Wombat Senior Member Just another bare bum in the shiower 1739 Posts 12/04 | I am pretty much happy with most of the noms in the main categories, but just have a few comments: 1. I though "Suck It" was much better than "Stroke It" for the all-sex category. 2. I was surprised Meggan Mallone didn't get nominated for FPOTY - although I think she only released six movies in the nom period, they were all great efforts with multiple scenes. She is literally carrying Vivid on her back at the moment, and so I thought that would get her a nom for sure. 3. Phoenix Marie should have gotten a nom for FPOTY. 4. Kaggers should win Best New Starlet and Kristina Rose should win FPOTY. Oh, and PS: 5. I was quite surprised that Jenny Densuke didn't get nominated for Best New Starlet - once again, she was only in a few scenes, but in many ways she was one of the most reliable and energetic performers of the year. |
| Smiler Grogan All-Star Member the war cry 14790 Posts 1/08 | [/quote] Hey you know what I know I won't win for Best New Starlet of the year but its still an honor for me either way and I wish the girls luck in that category, but honestly I am goin for Prince Yahshua to finally take a Best male Performer this year and i'm not just saying that to be bias. [/quote] You certainly would deserve it though! And I agree with you on Prince Yashua, not only for his attributes on screen, but for his sense of humor in BTS segments. Any BTS with him in it is well worth watching. |

Since Savanna Samson cut-back (or retired) Vivid really hasn't been successful in promoting their Vivid Girls as Top Stars--or getting them Awards. Plus, Vivid has hired non-Vivid Girls, like Sasha Grey or Belladonna, to headline their recent top features. So Vivid Girls have been used mostly to promote "Vivid Events" and left on their own to promote their individual careers. [This probably contributed to Sunny Leone and Monique Alexander becoming quasi-Vivid Girls, which allows them more control over their careers.] Plus there was the Summer 2005 Exodus, when so many established & up-and-coming Vivid Girls departed. The post-2005 new Vivid Girls like Nikki Jayne, Hanna Hilton and Meggan were mostly unknowns that Vivid needed to build from scratch--and Vivid's PR department doesn't seem to be up to the task. And, when in the hell are we going to get the first scenes from Lia19? Or has that contract quietly gone south? She could have also been a Best New Starlet contender.
