This is actually a pretty good list. I've shot 10 of them, all winners.

It's much better than the starlet list although I would have liked to seen Brooke Balentyne and Julie Night nominated.

Savanna Samson? Ridiculous. Contract girls who do nothing but features shouldn't be up for Star of the Year in this day and age when gonzo is everything.

This is Taylor Rain's year, just look around the Internet and see how many times she's been the topic of conversation not to mention how many movies and Internet things she shot. This ain't Hollywood, in porn quantity as well as quality should count.

I'm not even a Taylor fanboy, it's just obvious that she is the choice for the top female performer for 2003.

Has Taylor done features? Can she act a little?

I really think somebody with some money should compete with AVN and put out a magazine just for gonzo fans and those who make gonzo. Edgy, sexy and funny. Think it would kick ass and make money.

Hey, how's it going,

(Ate the turkey. Ate too much. Packers just lost. Rest of the familia is in some state of sleep. Bored. Why not talk about sex before Cowboys game.)

In the "New Starlets" thread I was critical of AVN but I these nods aren't nearly as bad. Based on that other list I'm surprised that Taylor St. Claire isn't nominated here for a third year in a row or that last year's winner, Nikita Denise, isn't nominated. Neither girl deserve to be though because they haven't done shit this past year (semi-retirement) so at least AVN is somewhat timelier (is this a word?) with these choices. However, Bella was definitely quieter this year as was Aurora Snow but they still worked so they get nods.

That all being said, Savanna Samson and Sunrise Adams as nominees is a joke. Savanna I can understand better but not Sunrise. I have been bored by her work and her new boob job with Vivid. I would say the same thing about Devinn Lane and Monique.

For me Performer of the Year the past 2 years was Ms. St. Claire and she was at least nominated each year though she lost to Aurora and Nikita respectively. This year the girl I would consider performer of the year is not nominated. Where the hell is Arianna Jolle? Screw Best New Star. She is the performer of the year. I might even put Katja Kassin on this list too. That might be a bit of a stretch though.

However, the inclusions of Ashley Blue, Jessica Darlin, and Taylor Rain on the list provide some cred for me.

Kelly

Not a perfect list at all. However, enough good choices on there to sedate me. I'm guessing that Arianna will get her recognition next year. And for whenever Skeeter reads this thread: congratulations to Bridgette on her nomination.

I agree they did a better job on this one. IMHO Bella and Aurora while outstanding performers have probably been a little to low key this year to win.

I think the contest will be between Devinn Lane, Carmen Luvana and Taylor Rain. And it will all depend on what the voters are looking for. Taylor has the lead as far as exposure and pure sexual abandon. Carmen has an edge being Adam and Eve's first ever contract girl (plus being able to deliver a hot sex scene). Then Devinn has pulled off some great acting performances as well as directed her own series with two more "projects" on the way.

Too close to call.

Aurora probably has no chance of winning twice...

It should probably go to Bella.

I'm doing the RRCC nominations soon and my own five...well I can't reveal them yet and I'm not sure of the final list. However, there are four women on this list who might make it. The rest have no chance. There are two women who will make it for sure who don't show up at all on this list. (Not to give it away, but both are Asian.)

I'm starting to think that 2003 was a down year for porn in general and certainly for performers. Bella and Aurora both tore it up last year. I don't think anyone touched them this year.

At least Monique got a sniff this year. She is hot.

Dunno 'bout that, Ariana Jollee alone annihilated porndom -- though I guess some of the problem is that not everything is out there yet. Same with Selena. Same with some other girls I liked a lot. Jesus, Mandy Bright was over the fucking TOP time after time in tons of scenes. Julie Night did phenomenal scenes. So did Maggie Star. I don't think anyone touches Belladonna -- she's one of the greatest porn stars in history -- but I do think some amazing women hit top throttle, and that there were also a LOT of girls who only did a few notable scenes but made big impressions, like Claire James.

Or maybe I'm missing something. But I don't think so. Or else my taste is just too damn gonzo. But, to me, that's the essence: Pure sex, animal husbandry, rock'n'roll, 24/7 -- with a little style and humor and attitude.

skronker - well you just hit on AVN's biggest problem in this catagory. A girl who is independent and does gonzo is much more likely to get more exposure in a given year than even a contract star with a company like Vivid or Wicked. So does that mean that only the gonzo girls should get nominated. It is a fine balance to try to recognize the best of both which may be what they are trying to do. Though that means a lot of people get left out.

rog - is the Monique listed the black woman who used to be with Extreme and was in Fashionistas or is this another one?

As far as I know, it's the black girl who was with Extreme. (And who is one of the best fucks in the history of porn IMHO).

Thank you for the congrats on Bridgette! She did over 30 double anal sex scenes, numerous features, produced and directed 14 gonzos. Everyone she directed is as hardcore or harder then any of us male directors. Her interracial movie is "The most Hardcore filmed this year"! She fucked her ass and pussy with a wine bottle for a Wicked feature and is nominated for it!
I have 8 nominations, Bridgette has 5. Bridgette and I are both very, very grateful! In 2000, 2001 and 2003 Bridgette Kerkove has been nominated by AVN 26 times! She has won 14 awards worldwide. She also won the AVN Best New Starlet award in the shortest amount of time ever, 11 months into the business. She did over 200 movies in only 11 months. She is the only girl in the history of porn to ever do that! No girl in porn has done as many anal scenes, D.P.'s,Double Anals or Gang Bangs as Bridgette Kerkove.
No girl has done more features then Bridgette Kerkove and no girl has done more interracial scenes then Bridgette.
Remember, she was doing double anal with the biggest black guys in her first 2 weeks of porn in January 1999.
In october of 2001 Bridgette Kerkove, Jenna Jameson and Tera Patrick were nominated for Best American Actress at the Venus Fair Show in Berlin, Germany! Bridgette Kerkove won!
Bridgette Kerkoves website is the most hardcore female pornstars website in the world! Only one other girl in porn gets more traffic and has more members the Bridgette Kerkove, that is Jenna Jameson! Bridgette and Jenna also have the largest Yahoo groups! They are untouchable!
Skeeter Kerkove "King of Sodom" God Bless pornography Porn producer, director, performer. I am a huge fan of hardcore porn and I love all of the women in porn. "God Bless Pornography" A womans ass is a beautiful thing" Woman rule!

I think it's a pretty fair list. Of course there is always going to be some controversy. Congrads ladies on your Nominations and goodluck. Especially the ladies that take the time to post here.

I think that noone deserves it more than Jessica Darlin'.
After 5 years in the business she looks better and better and she churns out always more noteworthy performances.
During the last year she worked for all the main gonzo companies (Ana/Dia, RLD, Evil Empire, Zero Tolerance, PXP, Evolution etc...), going all the way with DPs, A2Ms, even taking trannies up her butt, with a great enthusiasm.
While other top performers recently got a little bit tamer (Aurora, Bella) and some other on the list had always been just jokes (Devinn Lane??? AVN guys are obviously on some sort of agenda), Jessica gets constantly nastier and works her ass out more and more year after year.

Taylor and Ashley could deserve it at well, but they are quite new. I think they would better fit the Best New Starlet category.
