Yea I get it.. I mean I am a Pariah in this biz and I never ever expected to win any awards.
I have realized that about 6 months into this biz when I started in '02.
However, despite my content being different, I'd put money on it it does better than over 70% of who's been nominated, and is more popular, too. Speaking as a pornographer, and not a webmaster, I look at what has been nominated and I shake my head. It's more of the same. Nothing new, and the usual suspects who suck on the tit of AVN and vice versa.
I am also surprised to see a lot of dvd companies nominated. Haven't they all but died? Maybe it's just AVN's unwillingness to realize that the game has changed, and the days of food catered sets are done and the people truly making a difference and driving the industry aren't in Chatsworth Ca. No one cares about the AVN awards. It's cheesier than the latin soap opera awards. Also, I think there could be some more Ebony stars nominated. What's up with that??
That being said, I think it's time AVN took their business plan, folded it up in a bird made of origami, and let it fly away, or, at worst, let it fly into where the business is headed, not where it was 8 years ago. I'm tired of seeing some methed out porn whore with ribs showing, dancing on the top of someone's booth.
If I was too nice, let me know. I will repost without pulling any punches.
