you say they are honest, i say they aren't. i know for a fact that only video advertisers have won. prove me wrong. BRING IT!

so what about best web starlet??

congrats to the nominees!

Oh come on - do you honestly think this whole award stuff is a democratic or independent process? Have you seen a voting system put in place that is transparent to not allow rigging? Have you seen any sort of non-AVN voting system and decision process that has made you come to the conclusion it isn't an advertiser-based mileage reward scheme?

you're very naïve if you think this is purely merit-based....
just look at all the frikken categories fer chrissakes


:2 cents:

I am with you an every point! Including that Dan Miller is a strait up guy...



continue...

I vote Mickey Mouse for them all. Thanks.

YAYyyyyyyyyyy

How does Janie Summers get nominated for New Starlet when she only just recently signed with Digital Playground and has nothing out yet? She's not even pictured on their website's header last I checked. She started in 2009 known as Heather Starlet. After the AEE convention this year, her family staged an intervention and she soon found God. So she starts in 2009 as Heather Starlet. Leaves after the AEE convention (January). Signs with Digital Playground in September who are known to buy awards with their deep pockets. Explain that!!

This is also the same company who made this girl change her name to Janie Summers though there was a well known 80's porn star named Jamie Summers. If I knew that bit of history, don't tell me that DP didn't know. The AVN Awards is just plain old fuckery all around. Grease Fishbein's hands in one way or another and you'll get nominated, win an award, OR EVEN get picked to host the show when you have no business hosting anything.

LMAO Juicy!!!!

it's a good thing they changed the venue...that stadium last year was a joke...too friggin big!

I feel a lil bad for Chris, he seems to be the next one AVN is feeding to the wolves only to wash their hands of him at a later date with a 'no comment'

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it

the worst part his he has to defend them

Fitty Nominations:thumbsup

Yes, I would like that question answered.
Duke

i voted for you

there is a few legits but several are actually laughing stocks

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.
Duke

Yea 1 midnight prowl by Pariah Pictures.
Duke

I actually know a company that spent a good amount of money on a booth at the show and tables at the award show and didn't win a thing. they bitched about it to avn and guess what, the next year they won something

squeaky wheel gets the award....

we both know that answer but you will never hear it from avn.

How does Lisa Ann not get nominated for performer of the year? She was everywhere and made Hustler a lot of money. Her first Palin installment is Hustler's best selling video of all time. They just ran that press release announcing how it's their best seller ever.

How does Vicky Vette not get nominated for web starlet when she has the most visited porn star website out there? She is the type to be nominated as a web starlet and not a contract girl. How can a woman who has a contract even be considered for this? She has a contract! The web starlets are the Vicky Vette and Raven Riley's of the world. Not a contract girl.

And how is Sasha Grey nominated for new web starlet? She only has out one or two movies. Where is her website? There is no Grey Art website. Fuck Junkie redirects to SashaGrey.com. And SashaGrey.com is not what you would call a porn site. So where is this website for Sasha to even be considered for new web starlet? The menu to the left leads to none of her videos unless I'm missing something. Where are her new Grey Art videos to even have this brand new company be considered for her to be nominated as new web starlet?

I have NOTHING against Sasha. I'm just pointing out how AVN should never have nominated her. Not because of her but because of her circumstances. There's so much more for me to critique.

Congrats

the list with categories is a joke.

How does Angelina Valentine get nominated for Best New Web Starlet if her website, though already up, doesn't officially launch until December 8 with a launch party being held at the Crazy Girls in Hollywood? NOTHING against the girl but just to the powers that be that hand out these nominations.

That's because we're not keeping track. Why don't you look it up?

send me the link of all the past winner and i'll do the research, i know what the answer is though.

so what do i win when it comes out I speak the truth? an atta boy? pat on the back? maybe my own avn award???

Find your own links and do your own research. You wanna make accusations? Back them up or... you know what to do.

One of the other things that comes along with awards, is the negativity.

lol... i will.. don't worry, if its one thing im good at its doing research.

so i will go back 11 years, the same amount of time i've been in the biz. fair enough???

11 years! you better get busy...

By the way, what's your agenda? :winkwink:

Bottom Line. If I sponsored an AVN Event I would Win an award.
Bottom Line: If There was an ROI on an AVN event I would sponsor one.

im in no rush....

my agenda is to prove that only advertisers get awards and that the larger the advertiser the more awards.

that's it.

Good luck to all the nominees!

well, advertising and buying tables at the award show. cause it would be horrible when you gave awards to people that are not there to receive them

I ain't gonna front... we are happy with the Noms we got for LA Pink and our site as well as our other releases... thanks to all our fans

Congrats to all nominees :)

Once again, congratulations to all the nominees. That Wiki article is worth quoting here:

26 years of "Oscars of Porn" :thumbsup

it really is a parody of the oscars..

You can go through the past winners, and look at their magazine if you want to prove your "facts", since some of you are feeling holy. http://avnawards.avn.com/winners/
