Perhaps your post defending the sacred integrity of XBIZ may increase your odds of being more than a "Top 10 Director" for XBIZ (translation: nominee, not winner), but most people in the real marketing world know that advertising dollars with trade journals that hand out awards, has a correlation to people that get nominated and win awards (it's not 100%, since that would be too obvious), but nonetheless, that's pretty much the way things go.
I wish you continued success whether you win awards or not, but I felt that since you are young, I should disabuse of the notion that everything is based upon meritocracy.

ADG -
To address your points:
Extreme Associates and Diabolic have never advertised with XBIZ. Anabolic has, but not while Ricky was with them - and they don't currently and haven't in some time.
To my knowledge, Kayden420.com is not related to any company but Ricky's own (which doesn't advertise with us).
When Ricky was named a "Top 10 Director" he wasn't up for any award at all; he was featured in a magazine piece that highlighted the Top 10 up-and-coming directors at that time.
ADG, I always admire your intelligent and insightful posts. I realize that in some people's estimation the well may be poisoned when it comes to questioning the validity of porn awards shows, but it's not fair to paint XBIZ with that same broad brush.
We've always played fair and down the middle - in fact, I think that's one of the big reasons for our success.
