^^^^ I need to keep number 3, because 3 is my favorite number and so I'm hoping for really special things from THAT particular Dana. However, considering what a ginormous (it's a real word) celebrity you are, the rest of your demands shall be met and I'll even throw in a t-shirt that I made which reads, "If Dana DeArmond doesn't get the award, stick the award up your butt." I'm thinking that should be the theme of the AVN awards this year, but for some silly reason no one will take my calls. :)
I must say that IMHO three of the very best names are missing: Shyla Stylez Eva Angelina Cassandra Calogera And I'd replace Belladonna with Sativa Rose. Finally, I wonder if pretty models taking anal isn't enough for a place in this list (Eve Angel, Zafira). :-)
I wouldn't put money on her because she's something of a long shot, I think, but in my heart I'm rooting for Gianna. Does she deserve it for this year alone? Yes and no and I'm sure cases can be made for both. But she definitely deserves it for years past and overall so I wouldn't be mad at AVN for finally giving her her due. [Link]
^^^ Gianna's a sentimental favorite for me. But "G for Gianna" was made in 2007, and I haven't seen anything from her in 2008 that would compare.

The problem is not too few names on the list, the problem, as with almost every other category, is too many names on the list. Read what I think Mon AM at 10 EST, you know where
I think the problem is that Gianna has been around long enough that everybody has used her several times now, and since she isn't a contract girl she isn't going to get the types of gigs that get a lot of attention like Pirates 2. She also does a hell of a lot of internet stuff, which doesn't really help her in this category. She is still my favorite though, probably of all time. She gives the proverbial 110% in every scene. The fact that she doesn't do anal probably also hurts her. I would love for her to get it, but I think Jenna probably has a better chance, along with Sasha Grey. Darkhorse? Maybe Bobbi Starr. Check that. I forgot that SG won it last year. I don't think they will give it to her again. Ok, now I am more confident that Miss Haze will finally get her much-deserved FPOTY.

Well I will keep my fingers crossed for Bobbi Starr. Hope she wins and perhaps shares her Award with her partner in crime Dana Dearmond,who many feel was snubbed big time. Maybe 2010 could be her turn.
I think if I win I should have Dana, my cosmic sister, go up and accept it. No one would probably notice a difference. I'm most likely nominated for half of Dana's work anyway. I love Dana DeArmond
see, you can't fuck with ADT magics! that's crazy, but it would've been really crazy if you stuck one of the french fries of your butt! so now i'll just have to settle with giving you the "world's greatest pornfriend" award in spirit!
I have NOTHING against anyone nominated (despite my profound belief that a few people simply didn't deserve a nomination at least for this year, which is worse imho than giving out "40" noms for one friggin' award) or even in the darn business, but I agree about Bobbi wholeheartedly. I love Dana. Always have. Always will. Long after she's out of the business and is raising her family of freaky cats and 2 daughters with Daniel on a farm in Iowa, I will still love and adore her. But that is not why I've voiced my displeasure at her not being nominated. I truly and honestly beleive that she was MORE than deserving of it. I know little of the AVNs or the political nature of how it goes down, but from using the "internetS" and searching the "google," it does seems a lot like the real academy awards in many ways. From what I've read, it seems like some years the winner is a total dark horse that no one really thought would win or deserved to win and other years it seems to be a winner who is getting an award that people feel was deserved from previous years of not winning. You always know watching the Oscars that if someone very old, who's never won, is nominated in a major category, they're automatically the odds on favorite to win. I guess if everyone has fun than it really doesn't matter, but based on the kind of nasty debate in another forum here about the AVNs, it's just too bad that they don't seem too receptive to their fans or have much of a desire to listen to new ideas that could possibly make the awards just as fun, but better. I know, at the end of the day, these awards things are primarily done for insiders, but when you consider how many people buy and rent this stuff and actually do care about who wins and whether it's seems "fair" or not, you should be able to see that the fans are justified in making a lot of their complaints. I know this thread had become less serious and, in part, I've done quite a bit to make it maybe too much about Dana, but I just felt very strongly about her snubbing as at least a nominee and as a fan of the biz, I wanted to express that and my support for her. That said, while I won't be there and won't watch whatever version gets broadcasted, I willing be pulling one hundred and fifty percent for Bobbi Starr. Not because I don't think Jenna Haze deserves it (in fact, I think she'll be the winner), but because based soley on THE YEAR that they're looking back at, I think Bobbi is the most deserving of the nominees. Again, sorry for the serious post. Please go back to your discussions about french fries inside in buttholes. :)
Personally I would like to see Rebeca Linares or Bobbi Starr win performer of the year, Bobbi Starr probably just edges it for me. I have a horrible feeling that Alexis Texas will win though what with all the fuss over her first anals at the end of year. Give me a girl that puts out for ass fucking every time(and loves it) like Bobbi every time rather than a money grubber tight ass like Alexis. It's very disappointing not to see Shyla Stylez, who's had an incredible year, Adrianna Nicole, one of the most gorgeous and hard working girls in porn, and Tory Lane, who's come on very strong in the latter part of the year and is back to her hardcore fucking best, in the list. The starlet of the year list doesn't exactly excite me. I like Nikki Jayne a lot, but has she really been in enough stuff to deserve a nomination? I would pick Priya Rai but it's likely that Stoya is odds on favourite to win. Out of curiosity has a girl who won best new starlet of the year ever gone on to win performer of the year in the very next year? Nothing says romance like anal sex.

No Best New Starlet has ever gone on to win Female Performer of the Year. Missy won both awards in '97 and that is the closest anyone has ever come. It doesn't really come as any surprise...didn't you know that the Best New Starlet honor was cursed? [Link]
Anyone else feels that the best new starlet lineup is kinda weak compared with other years? And my personal favourite for POTY is none other than Rebecca Linares.
