^Thank God she's not looking at you or me! 😂 She's looking at the performer she's about to shoot, and that's the kind of quality she brings to the screen!
If it's anything like fan voting in other mediums it's a popularity contest not talent (acting wise that is). Still i'm happy she's getting the fan recognition she deserves as the talented porn performer.
^I know someone will eventually show up to argue about how these awards are chosen and selected. As far as I know, every award in every entertainment industry has its own criteria. For me, she completely deserves this recognition for the work she has put in over the past year or so. As an actress or pornstar, she has been involved in shooting different types of content and has been delivering every role with perfection. If you don't like the fact that she is receiving awards, that's your problem not mine. For me, right now, she is the best at what she does, and I stand by that.
Leana Lovings won the award for Best GG Performer. This tells you everything about the quality of these awards being handed out! LOL! Anyways, Octavia Red truly deserved to win Best Actress, along with Ricky Greenwood for Best Feature Director.
^ Looking at the winners of past awards in different years across different categories I've got very little faith in the objectivity of the decisions. Some, like Octavia, clearly deserve recognition but too often there are obvious, sometimes less high profile people, who are clearly more deserving.

I enjoy Octavia's performances as much as the next person but to suggest that she is somehow the only person to have five star performances with a variety of talent is kind of insulting to the likes of Cherie DeVille, Angela White, Julia Ann, Cherry Kiss, Kenna James, Kenzie Taylor who all boast impressive bodies of work that you don't achieve by being less than stellar when it's go time. Heck, look at Valentina Nappi's resume of work and the awards she's won - there's a number of incredible virtuosos in the industry. I've mentioned that Octavia along with Leana Lovings among others as rising stars but I can't discredit the current heavyweights like Adriana Chechik who pretty much qualifies as a Gold Medal level Olympian of porn. It is possible to adore those currently blazing their own trails without ignoring or discarding those who have left legacies that are untouchable.

I was referring to Danielmayu's comment: 'Octavia Red is, right now, the only performer who brings the same level of passion, chemistry, and sexual tension with every performer, whether male or female. For example: Seth Gamble and Octavia Octavia and Van Wylde recently Octavia and Parker Ambrose Octavia and Logan Octavia and Nade Nasty Octavia and Cherry Kiss Octavia and Kate Dalia Octavia and Johnny Sins Octavia and Nicole Rae Only the name of the man or woman changes, but Octavia's intensity never does.
I've seen countless performers before her, but I've never seen anyone quite like Octavia Red. She has a rare ability to create the same level of chemistry and intensity with every scene partner.'
I'm not against liking who you like but to disregard all the super talented elite level performers who gain nothing but praise from the talent they work with regardless of being male or female or trans is insulting in my opinion. You don't get to have what 3 decades in the industry like Julia Ann without delivering the goods in every scene, you don't get to the Angela White level where everyone is lining up to work with you because to paraphrase Triple H: she is just that damn good and the same can be said of Cherry Kiss, Cherie DeVille, Kenna James, Kenzie Taylor - 922 scenes in 11 years says you are clearly doing something right. Adriana Chechik is on a whole different level, that's like taking Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle to combine their DNA to create the ultimate no holes barred monster in the bedroom. Adriana could probably outfuck half of the NFL and have them out for an entire season. There's very few people in the industry who come anywhere near that level of insatiable hunger and Valentina Nappi - she is like the female version of Rocco. Never fails to deliver a banger

If you think 2 hours of nonstop fucking with Johnny Sins is wild, wait till you watch Freya Parker talk about fucking some civilian guy presumably for like 6 or 7 hours. I feel my balls shivering and wanting to retract just thinking about that, maybe if I was in my late teens or early to mid 20s; sure I'd have the stamina but at 44 years old? That would be a massive coronary waiting to happen although let's be honest, dying a heart attack post orgasm is the best way to go.
^^I think it's my mistake that I've fallen in love with a performer like Octavia Red. Despite following multiple performers in this industry, I've never experienced this kind of feeling before. That doesn't mean I'm disregarding the incredible performers who have been working in this industry for years before Octavia Red. I simply haven't felt this way about anyone else.
And secondly, this isn't WWE! Have some sense before bringing up Brock Lesnar and Triple H nonsense in the adult entertainment industry. These are two completely different worlds, so stop making unnecessary comparisons.
^ Personally I thought that the WWE analogy was great! It was a good way of explaining how your obsession is coming across to other posters. This obviously struck a raw nerve!
Octavia is a great performer, but I'm not familiar with her acting roles that were considered for the category this year. At some point, I should pay attention to that. *shrug*
This industry is not WWE, for heaven's sake! You can compare performers in this industry with Hollywood actors in terms of acting and other aspects, but comparing it to the nonsense and comedy that goes on in WWE? Seriously?
As this industry doesn't operate fairly or equally for everyone, these awards are nothing but laughable. Most people don't even care about them. The most laughable one was Leana Loving winning the Best GG Performer award, followed by Lauren Philips' awards. Honestly, these award ceremonies across the industry feel like nothing more than an excuse to get everyone together, have some drinks, enjoy themselves, and then go home. No offence to anyone, but that's just how I see it. Nobody really cares, except for a few loyal fans who continue to support their favourite stars. Nothing more, nothing less.
And it's laughable to compare WWE with this industry, bro! Octavia Red is Brock Lesnar? What nonsense! Or is some performer supposed to be Triple H? The same kind of comparison happened when BG Studios was compared with GG Studios. At this rate, someone will eventually say Angela White is the Messi or David Beckham of this industry.

Hey, you can't help who you fall in love with, the heart wants what it wants. I have/had the same feeling about Laney Grey, I get a little adrenaline rush when I even THINK about her.
He clearly wasn't comparing them, it was an example to put his point across. Now if you're comparing the quality of acting in a porn shoot with that in Hollywood then you really are losing your marbles! The standard of acting is generally laughable and at the top end is at best low B movie! There again it just doesn't matter. They're there primarily to fuck!
The Best Actress Award goes to both non-sexual and sexual encounters in the same category. it hardly matters though
Secondly, that @whysper guy is just talking nonsense lately. Recently, he was comparing movies to restaurant items. His comparisons are absolute shit, just like this WWE-level bullshit and nonsense.
Thanks, mate! I've said what I had to say. I don't need Pitbull, Whysper, or LezTrib-the usual guys-to change my perspective with their opinions and arguments. Their preferences and the things they love are different from mine, and that's perfectly fine. I'm a fun guy! I love Octavia Red for what she does, and I stand by my words: she deserved this award this year more than any other performer, without disrespecting anyone else. The problem is that they either don't read my reviews featuring different performers or simply want to take a jibe at everything involving me. 😂
Thanks. I know we think alike on a lot of things reading your comments on other threads too. The thing is, whether we like to admit it or not, we all talk rubbish from time to time, you and me included! I come on here and all the other threads I follow because I genuinely want to know what other people think and enjoy. I've learned a lot. I've discovered girls I didn't know existed and now follow passionately...like Octavia. I'm genuinely more interested in reading what others post than showcasing my own preferences because I already know what I like. There are some unfortunately who are really only interested in pushing their own opinions onto others without reflecting on what others say. In my experience they don't tend to hang around too long!
She already did several scenes for KINK as a sub, but I'd really, really love to see her as a Dominatrix. She already did pegging in a scene for another studio, so here's hoping.
^ Love that idea! She's got the stature and the demeanour to be a smashing dominatrix. If she wants advice on playing the role then Scarlett Jones would be a great starting point. She retired from mainstream porn and has started up as a real-life dominatrix.
Next month is Octavia Red's birthday, and I still don't know which movies or scenes I'll review to celebrate it. Maybe I'll choose one of the two movies you just mentioned! 😊

I said Adriana Chechik is like combined Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar into the ultimate pornstar package: there's nobody who performs like she does and can do the things with her body that she can, that's why there's only one person taking their inspiration and cues from her but even she would admit that Adriana is one of the GOAT. That young lady is Jane Wilde, Adriana has done blowbangs, gangbangs, DP, DAP, triple anal, she's fucked her fans and her resume is enough to make new male talent whimper while new female talent struggles to get their jaw up off the floor. One thing about Octavia Red that I adore is what I can best describe as a mix of hippy and bohemian like nature. She's elegant enough that you could take her to a prestigious gallery, an award winning movie or play with rave reviews then take her to dinner at a five star restaurant but you could just as easily find her reading on a beach the next day or attending an outdoor concert that's completely casual. Reminds me of Cadence Lux, the retired Carter Cruise & Karla Kush - same relaxed energy. I've used analogies more than once & I would point out that Cherie DeVille herself compared porn to WWE: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/cherie-deville-says-wwe-documentary-183621412.html
By all means go ahead and claim one of the most beloved, respected and universally adored pornstars next to Angela White is talking nonsense . . . that should be fun especially given how many brilliant articles she's written about the industry.

^Have some sense before talking nonsense! Are WWE wrestlers performing sexual encounters? They're wrestling, for God's sake! Most of the time, their facial expressions are all about anger, aggression, and looking like they're about to destroy someone. Pornstars, on the other hand, have to portray different expressions, emotions, and reactions throughout a single scene or an entire movie. So how on earth can you compare a male wrestler to a female pornstar and act like you've made some groundbreaking argument? Seriously, what are these nonsense articles you keep posting? She was comparing how the two INDUSTRIES work, not saying that male wrestlers are the perfect examples to compare with female pornstars! There's a difference, for God's sake! By your logic, I can declare that Octavia Red should be known as the UNDERTAKER OF THE ADULT FILM INDUSTRY. Show me "Tombstone Piledriver" of Octavia Red on some other male performer or female performer hahahha And there you go, ladies and gentlemen, my contribution to professional analysis! This article explains how the working models of the two industries can be similar, such as contracts being offered to WWE wrestlers and performers in the adult industry. She also discussed financial stability and other related issues. CONTRACTS AND FINANCIAL STABILITY CAN FOLLOW SIMILAR PATTERNS ACROSS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES!** The same goes for health issues: performing action scenes in the entertainment industry can cause injuries and health problems, just as sexual encounters can carry their own physical risks. BUT DOES THAT MEAN YOU CAN USE A MALE WRESTLER AS AN EXAMPLE TO COMPARE WITH ADRIANA CHECHIK? FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE! A male wrestler's primary role is to wrestle and perform in wrestling matches, whereas Adriana can portray different characters and perform different kinds of scenes across multiple movies, even though the central focus of her is sexual performance. THE POINT IS THAT THE WORKING MODELS OF THE INDUSTRIES CAN BE SIMILAR WITHOUT THE ACTUAL PERFORMANCES OR ROLES BEING THE SAME!
Please understand the difference before turning an article about industry contracts and financial stability into a comparison between a male wrestler and a female pornstar!
Exactly, it would be a perfect fit. I can already see her in my mind, absolutely shredding some dude, belittling and consoling him at the same time while he cries out in pain. She'd be the perfect dominatrix.
From hanging out with her over the years, I never got the sense that she was anything but a sub. Maybe her acting chops enables her to turn on a switch. She's a terrible flirt though which I appreciate.
^^^ The problem is you're completely missing the point. The guy is using an analogy. The whole point of an analogy is that you compare two things that clearly aren't the same but have some things in common. Pointing out the differences simply doesn't invalidate the argument however bizarre you (or I) think it might be! I've been thinking about this and I actually think that porn and WWE are industries with more in common than most:
1) Both industries rely on constructed identities - characters created to deliver a particular emotional or thematic experience. 2) Both are forms of planned performance where the audience sees spontaneity, but the performers rely on structure and preparation. 3) Both require trust, communication, and professionalism 4) Both industries specialise in packaging illusion as reality, and the audience willingly suspends disbelief because the fantasy is the product. 5) Both industries rely on larger‑than‑life personas 6) Both are massively physically demanding and involve a large range of body types 7) Both jobs leave the participants waking up sore! 8) Both rely on an audience that wants the fantasy but refuses to respect the labour of those providing it 9) Both have some top level performers and some with highly questionable acting skills 10) Both are prone to high profile social media spats between the participants! 11) Award winners are often judged as 'pre-arranged'!
PS. If you want a better WWE 'equivalent' of Octavia than 'The Undertaker' try Charlotte Flair who is know for athleticism, personality and emotion.
Interesting. Has been my impression as well, that she is a natural sub. She seems to genuinely love getting manhandled and dominated. That being said, irrespective of her personal preferences she clearly has the necessary acting chops imo. She was already pretty much playing a dominatrix in the aforementioned pegging scene for CuckoldSessions, "Get fucked by a real man", she clearly can do it.
That analogy would apply to the Hollywood industry as well. If Daniel's ridiculous comparison is considered valid, then the same logic could be used to compare the porn industry with Hollywood.
Performers in both industries act, social media feuds happen between them, and their actors also get naked in movies. They both have pre-planned scripts, scenes, actions, and performances. Both have comedy, unnatural acting, physically demanding roles, and awards that people accuse of being biased.
Every industry is different, even if there are some similarities between them. You can't just use an analogy to compare everything under the sun and then expect the comparison to make perfect sense. Having a few things in common doesn't mean two industries are interchangeable. Otherwise, you could compare almost any two industries and come up with a list of similarities. That doesn't automatically make the comparison meaningful.
Then call Angela White the Angelina Jolie of the porn industry, or, if Whysper says so, Brad Pitt of the porn industry. So funny debates this I love it all are talking shit
^ The same is absolutely true about Hollywood as well. Just because an analogy doesn't make sense to you (or me) doesn't necessarily invalidate it. It's an analogy. It doesn't have to make 'perfect' sense and the point of an analogy clearly isn't for the two things to be 'interchangeable'. Cards on the table here and I have to say that the analogy Whyspers2Scorpio used was a bit bizarre but I actually do get where he was coming from and for me his original point was also for me 100% valid. Others may (and will!) disagree but let's leave it at that.
There is a wider issue here though. This is Octavia's thread and so will be full of her fans. Most, like me, love other pornstars too and of these plenty (like me) wouldn't put Octavia at the very top of my likes list even though they admire her work and follow her. Even on a pornstar's thread keeping a sense of perspective rather than going full obsessive about her is important given what I've said above. Stating personal opinion as 'fact' which is where this all started to unravel is, in my 11 years experience of these threads, the surest way to start arguments!

The Hollywood analogy falls apart because there's not a single adult performer who uses a stunt double. Some brave celebrities try to do their own stunt work like Jackie Chan, Tom Cruise, Robert Patrick even did a stunt for Terminator 2 but the rest all have stunt doubles and extras from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to the Resident Evil movies with Milla Jovovich. I guarantee you that there's not a stunt pussy taking the pounding or licking for Octavia or anyone else in the industry. Financial speaking, plenty of wrestlers struggle to break even with some like John Cena living out of their cars which lines up with people like Sabina Rouge talking about how porn saved her from homelessness. If you think being a wrestler on the indies promises financial stability - you're in for a hell of a rude awakening. Wrestlers also play different characters as evidenced with Mick Foley bringing Cactus Jack, Mankind and Dude Love to life or the Undertaker going from his original gimmick to the American Badass to Big Evil all the way back to the Deadman. Given the longevity, Julia Ann is the industry's phenomenon because I promise you that NONE of the current talent are going to have 30 year careers in studio porn at the level of success that she has. To be in demand, to be praised and adored by your peers with nobody having any complaints about you is a staggering accomplishment. I'd bill Octavia more as a Roxanne Perez, nicknamed the Prodigy given how good she is in her scenes. I remember the first scene I saw Octavia in being with the magnificent Cadence Lux and I was struck by how she looked like she'd fit perfectly in one of those painting by Rembrandt who was known for great portraits.
Wonderfully well said Pitbbull67 - thank you for understanding my point rather than acting like attack dog.
