Nobody does. Porn isn't good enough for the Oscars. You can't show up at Best Buy, purchase a camcorder, and film people having sex and win an Oscar. :) Now the AVN Awards on the other hand...
However, I might nominate the Lars von Trier film "Nymphomaniac" which is quite pornographic in some ways - but also artistic enough that it could be considered for an Oscar.

Yeah, I'd support Evan Stone if that was the campaign. The three or four DVDs from AMK about sorority shit someone meant was überhot shit (I've deleted the title from my memory) told me that Skin Diamond was a brilliant actress. So I'd give them my vote.The shit was all about acting. But it is not my porn POV at all. In fact I don't mind about acting skills in porn. I want them to be themselves. If someone goes along with an attitude, that's even hard to take too. I'm not a big fan of forced stuff either. To me acting is all about forcing people to do stuff that's not necessary real. I want naturrally stuff.
So the last decade or so I've spent nearly nothing on mainstrream Hollywood. Porn on the other hand... I guess I could soon buy a Mercedes. But I don't have licence and much more prefer a library of DVDs. That's a much better ride.

Few porn performers can actually act and even fewer had formal acting classes , Penny Pax is one of those few and it shows , but C'mon an Oscar?
She maybe even worth it but would need something more demanding in terms of skills a porn movie no matter how good it is can't compete to a full role.
Not even for those who actually performed in mainstream movies such as James Deen and Rocco Siffredi.
A porn actress with outstanding acting skills is Sybell Kekilli who has done a dozen porn and is very famous in Germany as a mainstream actress and relatively known in the States as "Shae" from Games of Thrones , actually when she was exposed as former porn star many were surprised and shocked.
But again an Oscar?
There are actors out there who not only can recreate a character but can put THEIR interpretation as THE set for anyone else , for example Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor so ironic and yet so right that a serious one would be weird.
Hackman does the same to ANY character he portrays think about the bad Sheriff he played in Unforgiven
Julianne Moore is his female counterpart , just fantastic playing anything.
Also can you imagine a Tony Stark different than that portrayed by Robert Downey Jr?
You can't, it's PERFECT
And I'm not even mentioning really dramatic movies where acting skills are all you need , did you see Moon?
There's basically only ONE actor in there and he is very much able to sustain the whole movie single handed with very little talking, he's alone and yet he performs with faces, body language , looks and so.
These are ACTORS

The problem here is you are comparing apples to oranges. You are discussing actors who sometimes have over a year to get into their role, while often not playing any other roles, to actors who in some cases get their script on the day of the shoot and play maybe 50 roles a year. As for the best acting in adult movies, I think some of the roughies contain the best acting. For instance, take a look at Zebedy Colt in Sex Wish. While I am sure he did not have much time to prepare for that role he is frightening in it.

Well this is certainly true but for example a minor actress in Buffy the Vampire Slayer had to play a Viking wife in a dream , something out of her usual role of Anya a frightening demoness , furthermore the lines were in Swedish , some ten pages of dialogue ,she and the actor with her (who was a guest star hired for that role only) were given their script in the morning, their first shoot was the good one.
Jamie Bamber who played Apollo in the new Battlestar Galactica had to play the attorney of Gaius Baltar in a trial for treason a completely different role from his usual Captain of a Viper striker Squadron , yet he was given a speech the defence final speech,it was long , some minutes , the first was the good one again , crew and actors applauded.
None of them is a top actor, average at best
Some Bollywood actors may play two roles in the same day for different movies , I also don't think that any soap actor is given his scripts much longer than few minutes before the shoot.
There are actors that are amazing in porn , but to get any award is a completely different thing.
Of course an acting award for porn actors especially aimed for their acting abilities compared to his fellow performers maybe something they should do.
But professional mainstream actors are another whole thing

^You have to pick better example to prove your points because these are not remotely good example. Jamie Bamber first acting gig was in the British series Hornblower when he was 25 years old. That BSG scene was more than 5 years later so he was in his 30 and after he had multiple acting roles in both TV and movies. he is a graduate of the London Academy of music and Dramatic Art so he received an education in his field of endeavour.
I don't know what Emma's education is regarding acting but seeing as she was already 25 when she did Buffy and had done multiple acting roles long before she did Buffy than I feel safe in saying that she must have attended a few acting classes in her life.
I truly believe that there is more than one active performer that could do mainstream TV and movies and they might even be able to win some awards but I doubt you will think so if you watch them only do porn. The acting requirement in most of todays porn is so low that a wel trained actress will not be able to show her talent.

I placed those examples because Flash said some porn actors have to play their lines having read them few minutes before the shoot , I just mentioned two examples of actors and actresses who can act a role out of the blue reading their lines few minutes before the shoot , in the case of Emma and the guest star in Swedish even.
It doesn't matter they had some classes they had to act a role without preparation.
Do I have to mention Hush?
Almost no line at all,they had to play only using their bodies and faces and yet make us understand what they meant with a look, an eyebrow a frown anything they had. The whole cast did it. They were acting on weekly basis they had no time to really prepare for such play yet they all did , brilliantly I may say (that episode won an Emmy I believe)
Also Evan Stone is playing roles since forever , I have to admit he is a professional I remember him playing as Batman (not sure what parody though) and he used the expressions and the moves Adam West used on TV, he certainly prepared the role.
As far as I know Penny Pax had acting classes and it really shows even with few lines (she's overacting during sex lately , possibly requested by the director, she doesn't do that usually) look at her face expressions , brows and all she's very natural.
But the OP didn't say an acting award for porn roles possibly awarded by AVN , he talked about Oscars , come on.

Killer John deserves an Academy Award for best supporting trolling on a porn forum.
