Belladonna Ashlynn Brooke Roxy DeVille Jessica Drake Sasha Grey Jenna Haze Jenny Hendrix Jesse Jane Kayden Kross Sunny Lane Sunny Leone Rebeca Linares Marie Luv Gianna Michaels Bobbi Starr Alexis Texas I must say this is a pretty solid list of hotties.
Yes I agree it's a very good list. I think the Best New Starlet nominations is a good one too! Lexi Belle Tori Black Chayse Evans Jaelyn Fox Jayden Jaymes Nikki Jayne Jayme Langford Jandi Lin Meggan Mallone Priya Rai Faye Reagan Ryder Skye Missy Stone Stoya Angelina Valentine
I guess it's about time Gianna's name was on that list, not sure if this is her first time or not but seems the past couple she's not been on it so it's well deserved. How about the Spiegler girls too!!
Best New Starlets. Lexi Belle started in May 2006 Jaelyn Fox, Faye Reagan, Stoya and Angelina Valentine are borderline. Where is Nika Noire and Allie Foster and Asa Akira? Den On AVN.com they have a review of Just Over Eighteen #14 starring Lexi Belle. The review date is August 2006 Edited by - Den on 11/26/2008 9:58:58 AM

My vote would be for Bobbi Starr, but my money is on Jenna Haze.
^^^^^^^ Nothing personal, but I don't think she is a good choice at all for Ginger. Sindee was much better for Mary Ann. I know nothing about the porn world and their awards, but do they typically give major awards to women who only do other women? It's a respectable choice if you want to make it, but it does seem to take something away from the performers who do men, women, and push the limits. That Jayme girl is beautiful, but she only does women and I love Faye but she's not doing men anymore from what I can see either. Neither seems to put out a lot of quality work, but I don't get the nominee process at all. Some of them just to be nominated based on "star" power. Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but it's called performer of the year, so it's not just a who's the hottest or biggest star award, it's given to the women who's perceived to have done the best work/performing of the last year, am I wrong about that? Scratchin' my head about some of the noms. Dana should be nominated at the very least. I'll go with Alexis Texas or Bobbi Starr. The rest just seems, in many cases, like giving noms and awards to Meryl Streep just because she's Meryl Streep. For best starlet, the noms are also confusing. Lexi Belle would be more deserving of performer of the year. How do they define new? I think I like Stoya the most, but don't know if she's really done that much. Definately torn between Missy Stone and Tori Black. Both equally hot, Tori seems to do more and have a higher profile, but Missy seems to be a better performer. So, by a hair, Missy.
Gianna- POTY Lexi- NPOTY Gianna has been around for a good minute and is still cranking out hot scenes. Belladonna & Marie Luv too. I don't see how Jesse Jane & Jessica Drake are on there. I'm saying this from a performance perspective. They do like 5 movies a year and Gonzo sex is on a entirely different level than feature. Granted, I'm saying this without seeing any of Jesse or Jessica recent scenes. Just my opinion.
Is there an age cut off for these awards because I don't see Aline or Harmony Rose, Adrianna Nichole, etc,etc. I'll acknowledge that youth is king in this business but I would like to see over 30 year olds up for awards too. And yes Dana DeArmond should be on the list as well as Sinammon Love, Sophie Dee and Flower Tucci. Edited by - mug_glazer on 11/26/2008 2:31:18 AM

Congrats to ALL Spiegler girls on there nom. I also feel like Dana could have fit on the already long list of performers. My favs are Belladonna(long time deserved) Jenna Haze & Alexis Texas. Can't decide between the three beauties. I'm glad that its not up to me!

Dana should've been nominated ahead of a few of the names they picked, I agree with others. They did pick Bobbi Starr and Jenna Haze though, who I was hoping all along should be picked and should be the front runners in the race easily. Glad to see they noticed Sunny LEONE to, because she did put out couple of really good movies this year. I to am glad I am not the one picking the winner, but it should be between Jenna and Bobbi. Specially after seeing so many of you agree with that, but you never know. Some very strange things happen at the AVN for one reason or another.

i'm really tired of this. first of all, i do 7 movies a year. and at least 6 other scenes. usually more. have you heard of Fallen? i'm in 8 out of 11 scenes. 4 were anal. i was also nominated for best DP (that's DOUBLE PENETRATION, not director of photography) and Best Oral Scene, which was a blow bang in an elevator. STFU. i may be a contract girl (and proud of it) but i can fuck like a gonzo girl, and love gonzo girls. and yeah, dana should have been on that list. do i think i'll win FPOTY? no, probably not. i am, however, VERY proud to be included. i work my ASS off, literally, and i'm tired of comments like this. i'll debate this all fucking day long. i don't GET to roll onto the set, have sex and be gone in a few hours. i'm there all day, every day. It's called female PERFORMER of the year, and to me, that's pretty all-inclusive. it's not just fucking. i deserve to be on that list. just MY opinion.
I'd have to agree with jessica here, it's not Gonzo Performer of the year so unless they go back to splitting the awards like they did one year you will have the two groups mixed. Personally I liked it when the each had an award because there should be recognition for both, it's not as if jessica or Jane or Ashlynn aren't performing in their scenes, they sure seem to be sucking and fucking just as Bella or Jenny or Sunny Lane are. The only difference really is the lack of scenes but this doesn't make gonzo girls better, it just means they work more-- however they are doing the same type of scene a lot just for different companies, the outfits are different, some of the guys are too. I've reviewed scenes for every girl on that list this year save for Sunny Leone so I can't say anything about her being on the list but every other girl on there I feel is very deserving. Are there girls I wish were on there sure, Shyla Stylez had an amazing year, Dana DeArmond rocks it every time so those are two ladies that I wouldn't have minded seeing on there as well but they only have so many spots. I congratulate all the wonderful women who were nominated this year, it's been a great time reviewing your work and I'll be there again next year spreading the word on all the fine things you do!
I'm thinking they should do something different this year, to decide on the winner. All of the girls who've been nominated should get up on stage and there should be one big cat fight! Last girl standing wins! Personally I'd be happiest to see either Jenna, Bobbi or Rebeca win FPOTY For BNS either Stoya, Lexi, or Missy.
I sure do agree with Jessica Drake. It is not fair to lump Gonzo Stars and Featured Stars for the same award. Jessica had a fantastic year and did lots of gonzo sex acts such as anal and DP! It is impossible to compare Gonzo with Features. I suggested last year the AVN go back to the day when they had 2 separate awards. If they have too many awards (and they do!), perhaps they could eliminate Best DVD Menus! For 2008 season I will have Newbie of Year, Gonzo Star of Year, Contract Star of Year, MILF of Year, Performer of Year, BTS of Year and Femme of Year. Porn Stars should be worshipped and adored and should have lots of award categories! C'mon AVN, get with the program! Congrats to all the nominees and good luck. Jessica should be very proud of her well deserved nomination! Den
Jessica totally deserves her nomination. Dana also should have been nominated. Den's right that there should be more awards for the WOMEN. The whole (straight) porn industry is built on a foundation of beautiful, sexy WOMEN. If there were no scripts, no lights, and no directors-- if the whole industry was reduced to one sexy woman masturbating on her camera-phone-- then that one woman would be the porn industry. If there were 1000 directors, PR-reps, and DVD-authorers, and no starlets, there would be no porn. Recognize the WOMEN, recognize as many as possible. As Den said, give awards to the best feature actress, the best gonzo actress, the best MILF. And why not add the best big-tit performer, the best ass, the best ingenue, the biggest slut, and the hottest black, latino, and asian starlets? (Hell, I'd vote for Eva Angelina for best teeth; she deserves it.) That said, there does need to be one big award at the end of the night, if for no other reason than to provide the media with its headline and photo-op. For some, the winner will become the face of porn for the year, so it would make sense to vote for someone who can be counted on to do a good job of talking to the media. Recognize "Female Performer of the Year" as yet another role, a job that needs to be given to the woman who can do it the best. Then give the awards, the recognition, and the honor to all the beautiful and sexy women who have created a whole industry by simply taking off their clothes and spreading their legs.
Who the heck knows how that Performer category will shake out! Look at that list. I mean that could go any of 8 ways, depending on what the judges value most. And who are these people making the call on this, by the way? Is there massive tampering with the judges? That would be hot. Then next year, someone could make a xxx movie about influencing the outcome of the xxx awards, and if that movie was nominated for an xxx award, it would be real interesting to see if it won or lost! As for the Best New category, what do you score it on? Priya Rai dominated the internet the most? , Lexi Belle because of all the "cute buzz"? , Stoya for her unique intimate quality? , Angelina Valentine because she's a personal fav? , Ryder Skye because Entertainment Tonight featured her on set of the Gilligan spoof? , or Tori Black because you thought she'd win this award months ago? Also, it now looks less likely Roxxx will win.
Yeah there is but it's one of those they present when giving out a whole bunch at once. It's sorta funny they go through the winners and you can go in the back to pick up your award otherwise the show would last 5 hours!
I'll never understand why AVN insists on nominating so many girls for a single award. If FPOTY and other similar categories were limited to whomever AVN deemed the top 5, give or take a couple, then we would probably have a lot less bitching about who didn't make the list. There should be less moaning about the exclusion of such girls as Dana, Kristina Rose, Bree Olson, and Claire Dames. A shorter list would allow us to focus on and celebrate the nominees themselves.
Woah woah, fucking chillax. I wasn't trying you knock you or you're game. I worded my post wrong. What i should've said is I don't understand how the 2 different types of performers can get the same award.Because to me from a viewer perspective the contract/gonzo games seem like apples and oranges.Well, Oranges and Grapefruits. That being said, You're correct. The award is "performer" of the year and that's you. I wasn't trying to knock you or say you're undeserving.I apologize if you took them that way.
I still think the word performer is vague. In mainstream movies, one thinks of best performer or performance, as someone who gave the very best performance of the year in a single film. Flip that over to adult movies and going on just a slightly different interpretation (I can't imagine someone winning this award who was in just one great film) and looked at performance as maybe 6 or so films in a year with multiple performances in each. But you could look at performer, the Sopranos way. One who does the most and highest quality of performing, the way a mob guy who's the best earner does the most work. He performs the best for the boss. You have that kind of thing in business too, where the best performers get the biggest bonuses. I just can't see why in the world the would even mix gonzo girls with the contract girls who do movies and don't work as often. Even in the world of-it's not really THAT important-porn, you'd think this would be considered stupid. How would you even compare Jessica Drake to Alexis Texas in a way that was fair to either if they were the only two women nominated? You couldn't. Also, I agree the lists are way too long, but even if they were broken up in 2 groups they'd probably be too big and, you know what, I think people would still bitch about who was or wasn't included. It sure think it would be an improvement, though. Still, think Dana belongs...sorry, but I think several names, no matter what their genre, could be easily eliminated compated to the work that Dana has done. So, that goes back to 2 categories and fewer noms. If Dana doesn't make the cut, several others wouldn't have either.
Does AVN publish what are supposed to be the criteria for this award? Such as quantity, quality, diversity, etc. Personally, I am rooting for Jenna Haze or Gianna. I also wouldn't mind if Alexis Texas or Belladonna won.
My point is, most performers could accept they weren't in the Top 5 for that year. As long as the nominees are all deserving, that is. On the other hand, being told you're not even in the Top 20 sucks, no matter who you are. And for the record, Jessica Drake is a superior performer to Alexis Texas, any day of the week.
From the AVN Awards website Female Performer of the Year - Awarded to a woman for her entire body of work during the eligibility period who worked predominantly in the U.S. (sex, acting and marketability all factored in)
Could you quantify that for me rather than give me your opinion as if it's a proven and accepted fact? Thanks. PS-Dana is better than BOTH of them (of course that just happens to be my opinion, I haven't got the paperwork to back it up just yet, but I am working in the lab).
^^^^^ I'm actually working on my Dana replicant/terminator right now. If you've seen "Weird Science" you'll be surprised to know that it actually isn't all that difficult to do and the bra over the head is actually a very important step. I'm hoping to have her fully operational in time to swipe the AVN performer of the year award, that she (I mean you) rightfully deserves out of the fraud of the porn world that wins hands. :) As far as seeing the lab, I think it might even freak the bejesus out of you.

You betcha! Jessica Drake always looks like she's lovin' what she's doin', regardless of which hole is being filled. She gives a deeper, more sensous blowjob and knows how to use her tongue as much as possible. And of course, Jessica can act circles around Alexis Texas. I do enjoy watching Alexis perform, please don't think otherwise. But when you focus on the quality of performance, Jessica comes out on top.
I'm getting off this subject afer this, because I'm a fan of Jessica's and the more that I try and make you see the error of your ways, the more it may come off that this is personal. It's not. I do hope the "you betcha" comment was Sarah Palin sarcasm, because quantifying something has to do with numbers and measuring, not opinions. Please, one last time, whether it's Alexis Texas, Dana "robbed of a POY nom" DeArmond, or my dead grandmother, you can only state your subjective opinion on who comes out on top. There is no right or wrong formula for determing a winner. If Jessica doesn't win, it won't be something the AVN people can quantify...other than in votes (which are probably rigged anyway). It's just a bunch of people's opinions. In other words, there really is no way to determine who the performer of the year EVER is. As they say, it should just be an honor just to be nominated. Something I would typically agree with, but since they didn't nominate Dana, I'm boycotting the awards and creating the CreamFilled awards. This year's winner of Performer of the Year? Dana DeArmond. She was so good that I didn't bother nominating anyone else. Just so you know, in case you plan ahead to my next award show...Dana will be winning again and probably will continue to win until the year 2067. I would love to have Jessica Drake co-host the CreamFilled awards with my Dana replicant/terminator and assure you that she would most certainly be enshrined in the CreamFilled Hall of Fame. That, dear sir, is an undeniable fact...not an opinion.
