| Crucifixio_Jones Senior Member Arrogant & Obnoxious Narcissist 4727 Posts 10/03 | I'll agree that Gianna's work isn't very varied but looking at a past FPOTY winner like Lauren Phoenix shows me that "acting" isn't necessarily a prerequiste to taking home that particular trophy. Save the "acting" for the category for which it was designed: Best Actress Film and/or Video. That's what it's there for. While a lot of past FPOTY winners have done a little, tiny, miniscule bit of acting here and there or a few movies where they had a couple lines in a vignette, the list of former FPOTY winners is littered with some of the most intense, primarily gonzo performers we've ever witnessed...Sasha Grey, Hillary Scott, Audrey Hollander, Ashley Blue and Aurora Snow. And looking up there at those girls (and I hate to say it because I wouldn't have Gianna change a single thing) I get the feeling that if Gianna exanded her repertoire just a little and most importantly, did anal, she'd probably become a stronger and more viable candidate.

| Crucifixio_Jones Senior Member Arrogant & Obnoxious Narcissist 4727 Posts 10/03 | Dated September 3, 2007 it's my Top 10 Pornstars of 2007 list. Now, everyone's got their own personal top 10 and as per usual, that sort of list or rankings is going to be extremely subjective. However, at the risk of tooting my own horn (and I'm sure you all know how much I hate doing that), if you'd allow me, I'd like to show you how my top 10 picks, that I picked even earlier last year than I picked in this thread, fared with AVN award wins and nominations. 1. Bree Olson: Best New Starlet Winner, Best Anal Sex Scene - Video Winner ("Big Wet Asses 10"). Other nominations: Best Group Sex Scene - Video, Best Tease Performance, Best All-Girl Sex Scene - Video. 1. Brianna Love: FPOTY nomination, Best Tease Performance Winner ("Brianna Love: Her Fine Sexy Self"), Best Actress - Video, Best Couples Sex Scene - Video, Best Anal Sex Scene - Video, Best Group Sex Scene - Video, nominated for Best Oral Sex Scene - Video TWICE for "I Wanna Get Face Fucked 4" and "Brianna Love is Buttwoman." "Brianna Love is Buttwoman" earned a Best Director - Non-Feature nom for William H & Sam No and a Best Gonzo Release win & "Brianna Love: Her Fine Sexy Self" snagged John Leslie Best Director - Video, Best Video Feature, Best Music and Best Editing - Video noms. 3. Jenna Haze: FPOTY nomination, Best Couples Sex Scene - Video Winner ("Evil Anal 2"), Best Interactive DVD Winner ("Interactive Sex with Jenna Haze"), Best Solo Sex Scene, Best Tease Performance, Best All-Girl Sex Scene - Video. 4. Annette Schwarz: FPOTY nomination, Best Group Sex Scene - Video Winner ("Fashionistas Safado: Berlin"), Best POV Sex Scene, Best Sex Scene in a Foreign-Shot Production, Best Threeway Sex Scene, Best All-Sex Release ("Annette Schwarz is Slutwoman"). 5. Rebeca Linares: FPOTY nomination, Best Couples Sex Scene - Video, Best Group Sex Scene - Video, Best Oral Sex Scene - Video. 6. Gianna: Unsung Starlet of the Year Winner, Best All-Sex Release Winner ("G For Gianna"), Best Sex Scene in a Foreign-Shot Production Winner ("Furious Fuckers Final Race") making Gianna the winner in all three categories in which she was nominated (has that ever been done before?). 7. Sasha Grey: Female Performer of the Year Winner, nominated Best Oral Sex Scene - Video THRICE for "Babysitters", "Blow Me Sandwich 11" and "Feeding Frenzy 9" (Sasha WON for "Babysitters"), Best Group Sex Scene - Video, Best High End All-Sex Release, Best Threeway Sex Scene, Best All-Girl Sex Scene - Video. 8. Belladonna: Best Continuing Video Series Winner ("Manhandled"), Best Director - Non-Feature Winner ("Manhandled 2"), nominated for Best Oral Sex Scene - Video TWICE for "Fashionistas Safado: Berlin" and "I Dream of Jenna 2", Best Solo Sex Scene, Most Outrageous Sex Scene, Best Couples Sex Scene - Video, Best All-Girl Sex Scene - Video, Best Group Sex Scene - Video, Best Interracial Release, Best Anal-Themed Release, Best All-Girl Release, Best All-Girl Series, Best Specialty Release, Best Specialty Series and finally, a Director of the Year nomination. 9. Eva Angelina: Best Actress - Video Winner ("Upload"), Best Solo Sex Scene and Best Group Sex Scene - Video nominations. 10. Alexis Texas: Best New Starlet nomination. As you can see, out of my picks everyone got at least ONE nomination (most of them got many more than that) and only two girls went home empty-handed (Alexis Texas and Rebeca Linares, who were practically amateurs compared to all the other girls at the time). Long story short, I don't claim to have a crystal ball when it comes to things but the track record shows that if I say you can count on some sort of nomination, it's a pretty safe bet that you will.

| Crucifixio_Jones Senior Member Arrogant & Obnoxious Narcissist 4727 Posts 10/03 | I'm not saying every girl I chose is guaranteed an individual performance nomination. In fact, a few posts back I completely meant to say that I'll likely be made a liar of for the simple fact that I didn't include hardly any contract girls and there is almost always room made for at least 2-3 of them in each category. Of course if they didn't receive their fair share of nominations, it'd be the contract girls claiming they got shafted (some of them for the first time in months *rimshot*). [Link] |

| Anime Nut Senior Member Too cool for Zuul 1925 Posts 6/06 | It just bugs me that the AVN Awards has categories such as Best Actress and Best Non-Sex Performance, which are perfectly suited for the contract girls. I really do appreciate studios such as Digital Playground and Adam & Eve, which keep their girls busy throughout the year. They may not work as much as gonzo performers, but it's still a far cry better than the restrictive contracts of Vivid and Wicked Pictures. |
| XXXenophile Member 343 Posts 1/07 | She was still putting out the product this year. Sunny's gonna get something for Sunny Loves Matt just cause it was her first B/G Tera?............LOL she's got one movie out this year. She'll be up for the Crossover award I'm sure. That's where she spent most of her time this year anyway. |
| Anime Nut Senior Member Too cool for Zuul 1925 Posts 6/06 | I should probably clarify that Jessica Drake is simply less deserving of the FPOTY nomination than many other girls who probably won't get recognized. |

| Stoya Member 430 Posts 10/07 | I actually laughed at that. In real life. Go CJ and his snarky humour. |

| Crucifixio_Jones Senior Member Arrogant & Obnoxious Narcissist 4727 Posts 10/03 | I can't believe this thread's been derailed with food talk. I'm disappointed in you especially, Anime Nut. I thought you were on my side here, I believed we were kindred spirits. And you turn on me because Tricia Devereaux, of ALL people, shows you a little attention. That's some cold-blooded gangsta shit, kid. I thought we was tighter than that. I thought we was boys. But I can hardly blame you: she obviously knew your soft spot. See? There's that 'hatred' again... [Link] |
| hollywood woody Senior Member Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time. George Carlin 1567 Posts 2/07 | If that was the case Vivid would have won big 3 years ago when they only won 2 awards, one for best gonzo and one for best anal. Talk about odd. That has never been the way it was and never will be. I have to stick up for AVN and Paul, he runs the awards totally above board or his credibility would be nothing. I know someone who told Paul he would advertise more if he could win some awards this year, that went over very poorly. Paul has always said one has nothing to do with the other. He told him he didn't have to advertise at all and he could still win, if his movies were good and got voted on. I was sitting there. That is the real story believe it or not. I think steven would have bought more than best gonzo and best anal if your scenerio was correct. |

| tricia_devereaux Evil Angel DVD Patience is a virtue, but who wants to be virtuous? 4283 Posts 4/00 | But as a token of apology for derailing your most awesome thread... I'm going to work on getting it back on track. First, I predict that in the future, Stoya will be your next Sasha Grey. Remember all those times you were being SO damn stubborn and said you didn't get the hype about Sasha? Then you realized you were being stubborn and finally saw what I had been telling you about since day 1? Stoya has an 'it' factor that I'm not verbally adept enough to describe. But she has it. I like Digital Playground, but except for maybe Robby D's movies, I'm not sure that we're going to get to see Stoya give everything that she has. I'm not sure who I'd bump off of your Starlet list, but I can't imagine Jandi Lin not making the list this year. Don't hate me for saying this, but has Rachel Roxx been active since earlier this year? I hope you're right about Claire Dames, but I'm not sure that AVN will appreciate her the same way that we do. |
| Crucifixio_Jones Senior Member Arrogant & Obnoxious Narcissist 4727 Posts 10/03 | Distract a guy from me with your personality or a body part? Perhaps. A guy that doesn't know 'the rules', maybe, which Anime clearly doesn't. Homies over hoes, Anime. Say it, know it, live it. It's just Tricia Devereaux, for Christ's sake...not Angelina Valentine. But don't go at her, either, Fuck Nut...she's also MINE. Stoya might be awesome for all I know. I've never seen her in action. But chances are, until she leaves Digital Playground, I also probably never will. And that's exactly why, as far as I know, she won't be my "next Sasha Grey." Sasha was never a contract girl, therefore I saw her in action constantly and didn't have to suffer through glossy or soft-focus features shot in slow-motion with cheesy music that I knew I'd hate just to check her out. As far as Jandi Lin and Rachel Roxxx: I met Rachel (Starr AND Roxxx) at last year's show and while I knew who she was and she had done some scenes, she hadn't been around long enough to get a Best New Starlet nomination. So I'm thinking she's due this time around (as well as Starr). Jandi's going to have been around a bit longer than Rachel was by the time voting begins this year so she stands a good chance of just squeaking in there. If she makes it, good for her. If not, she's a shoo-in for next year's show. [Link] |
| skronker Notable Legendary Icon Scopophiliac 9780 Posts 9/02 | Oh hell yes, Jandi Lin ... well, there ya go, three for the money for starlet of the year. Plus Andi Anderson ... and, hmmmm .... Edited by - skronker on 9/22/2008 8:52:31 PM |
| nateglass Member I must break you 201 Posts 12/05 | As to Paul's credibility, let me ask you this...how do YOU think those AVN charts are put together? Let me guess...you're going to trot out AVN's line of "a cross section of retailers send them in" right? So from a cross section of retailers who don't report anything beyond rank, you can extrapolate a TOP 250 titles EVERY MONTH. And if "a cross section of retailers" were already sending in numbers to Paul & co., then why about 2 years ago did AVN put out a solicitation for retailers to send in their numbers. Weren't they already getting those charts sent to them at AVN? And to pull 250 titles every month, at a bare minimum you'd have to have 25 stores reporting a top 10 and that's if every store's chart contained 10 distinct titles that didn't appear on any other store's chart. So they would have had to have been getting at least 20 store charts sent to them. Or were they just cherry picking the store's they (and you know who I mean by THEY) had a financial interest in? And if a store said that Cezar Capone's title was their #1 renter but for that store 5 rentals equal #1, and some other store's #1 renter got 20 rentals...how does AVN account for that in their formula? Oh and I almost forgot the other 335 titles that don't qualify for the Top 250 because they are Ethnic, Pro Am, Milf, Specialty, Interactive, etc. So each month they are charting almost 600 titles. Well, I can tell you this much, VERY few stores even have the desire or capability to report their top 10 titles, much less 600. You don't have to be a statistician to figure this is a bunch of BS...all you gotta know is basic freaking math. The fact that they continue to perpetuate a "payola" chart makes me question the credibility of said magazine. Add to the fact that the magazine is NOTHING but FLUFF pieces, ads and reposted PR (with the exception of Kernes and Nelson X) and yeah...I think their credibility is shit and I think everyone knows it. The only people who deny it are those who stand to gain by perpetuating the myth. Oh and those stores that actually do send in their sales charts to AVN would surely like to take notice that when AVN posts them on their website...they include a link beside each title to BUY, RENT or VOD that title from one of AVN's affiliate partners. Cha Ching for AVN, zilch for the store. No link to the store's website is included. Thanks Paul! And don't even get me started on how their AVNADS program for the longest time sold ad space on torrent sites until they were forced to remove those. Plus I'm still waiting for AVN (since they are such credible journalists) to cover the fact that companies within adult like Penthouse, Brazzers, and Bang subsidize piracy by paying for ad space on tube and torrent sites via their Adult Friend Finder, Fling.com and Brazzers Network subsidiaries. You'd think a journalist might like a story with some teeth to it, but not AVN...nothing but fluff baby. Do I question the legitimacy and credibility of Paul and AVN...you damn right.

| Anime Nut Senior Member Too cool for Zuul 1925 Posts 6/06 | But enough about food... CJ: You seem to have forgotten that I derailed this thread back on Page 1, 4th post. The original intent of this thread was to simply blurt out random titles. "Cheerleaders!!! Pirates II!!!" That just wasn't working for me, especially given the title of this thread. But I must apologize anyways. I underestimated our bond. Fuck, 30 minutes ago, I had no idea it even existed. It's because I ignored the signs: the anime avatars, the incessant need to sell me on Gianna Michaels' legitimacy as a FPOTY candidate, etc. Never again, brother. Never again. ... It's just that I had to speak up in defense of real pizza. Can't be helped. |
| Anime Nut Senior Member Too cool for Zuul 1925 Posts 6/06 | Back on topic... I predict Showtime will once again broadcast the awards long after the event is actually held. The broadcast will contain even more random crowd shots of attention whores mugging for the camera instead of watching the actual show they're attending. And once again, I will bang the remote against my head and wonder why anybody would pay to attend this thing? |

| nateglass Member I must break you 201 Posts 12/05 | Maybe I just had great luck with the pizza at BJ's...I went 2 or 3 times and it was always to die for. But then I went to a BJ's in Arlington, TX and it was crap. So maybe the Burbank one just has it down better. |

| Anime Nut Senior Member Too cool for Zuul 1925 Posts 6/06 | It's vastly inferior to Chicago-style, of course. But it doesn't suck. More predictions... (I'm trying, CJ) The AVN Awards show will feature at least ONE of the following: - Partisan bashing of the newly-elected US President, whomever it may be - Jokes about grand theft and real estate fraud - References to the current state of Jenna Jameson's legs: open again or still closed? - Chi Chi LaRue - Winners getting choked up over an "utterly useless" award, per RandomPrecision - A tribute to Verne Troyer |
| SexyHard Member 673 Posts 6/07 | Stoya is in a league all of her own, and I've gotten a couple of Celeste films just to see her-- big disappointments. That said, her scene in Cheerleaders was incredible. I would love to see her branch out, but even with the success of Pirates, I don't see DP seeking out partnerships with other studios. I composed a limerick in her honor: I whack to a sweet puss named Stoya She looks like a painting by Goya She knows I’m a pervert And can be a sick flirt But this causes her no paranoia. |

| hollywood woody Senior Member Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time. George Carlin 1567 Posts 2/07 | I think you should call Paul and address your concerns. I won't even begin to defend him, except to say that the awards are not bought, that is the case for sure. Which was my point to begin with. vivid itself, won 2 awards that year, forget Cj and Tera. That should tell you something. Vivid advertises more than anyone for at least the last 15 years. According to you that is how you get awards, it doesn't make sense that they only won 2 awards or even 5 awards including CJ and Tera. Even if it was Wickeds year, you would think that they would spread them around evenly among their big advertisers, that wasn't the case. BTW, that was not the only year that happened. |

Z Pizza on Rinalda is thin crust killer pizza, some of the best. And last but not least, San Carlos Deli on Mason is really excellent, they also make a Panzirotti to die for. It's like a calzone. |
