| arthur Deactivated User 165 Posts 9/04 |  Posted - Feb 7 2005 : 6:40PMMy feeling is that the AVN awards tend to favor companies that produce vanilla porn over companies that produce the more hardcore, adventurous stuff. I disagree with so many of their recent awards, it's not funny. I would be interested to know if others feel the same way. [Link] |

| earl Member 36 Posts 6/04 | Posted - Feb 7 2005 : 7:15PM While I agree that they're not always indicitive of what's going on, neither are ANY award show, really. And AVN is pretty much the only game in town when it comes to industry magazines. They're *the* trade journal, like it or not... Websites haven't knocked them off that perch; not wil they. So who else you got? This isn't like Hollywood where there're guilds and unions (i.e the SAG Awards, Director's Guid, etc.) and a variety of critics organizations (i.e the Hollywood Foreign Press' Golden Globes, the Television Critics Awards) or networks with enough muscle (the MTV Movie Awards, etc.) You have XRCO but they're really not all that large nor influential. Ask any generic porn fan, and they've never heard of them. You have all the websites who give awards, but half the people getting the awards don't even know who they're getting the awards from, let alone if the sites even exist. And all of them combined couldn't come close to filling the grand ballroom at the Venetian. AVN can, and that's why their awards aren't going anywhere. So, you might as well start your own awards. The Arthurs. Post your list, have some trophies made and try to get people to show up somewhere to pick them up. [Link] |
