2014 AVN Awards Nominations

Somewhere in October the pre-nomination starts. AVN publishes a list of their categories and then studios can send in copies of videos they've released in the past year. A nominations committee makes a selection from these videos. At least that's what I deduced from this:


And this quote:

"Everybody on our nominations committee has literally poured their blood, sweat and tears into producing this list over the past six or so weeks, and I can honestly say that in my almost decade at AVN, I don't think we've ever done a more meticulous and thorough job," AVN Senior Editor Peter Warren said, in a statement released on Friday. "I am very pleased with the nominees we've come up with, and wish them all a stupendous weekend basking in the glow of being recognized." --- 2013 AVN Awards

But what about the best solo site and best cam girl categories? How do you get nominated for them?

With the due exceptions: sponsors and their accolades get nominated and awarded, both on avn and xbiz ;)
That's why always the same get nominated, always the same win. Porn Valley has become the most auto-referential biz lobby in the world.
It still helps your biz to get nominated or awarded, but if you don't work for their sponsors or you don't sponsor them it's gonna be real hard.

This is what I was afraid of......

I think that's referring to the nominations for the regular awards that are up for grabs, like best girl/girl scene, best big butt series, etc. Not the ones which we can vote on.

In the end, like the Oscars, Grammy, Emmys, Golden Globes, these awards are more about marketing and promotion. Awards are too easily bought or influenced IMO.

No idea. That's more or less what I could find on the matter.

Agree. Too often I read "Awards often go to consistent advertisers in AVN" when I was searching the above. I can understand that it's a win-win situation for both, but at the same time it takes the prestige or value away from the reward if it's a favour in return.
 
glad to see Jasmine Jae nominated as "Female Foreign Performer of the Year"

for the "Female Performer of the Year" my choice is going for Bonnie Rotten, but I would have picked up Jasmine Jae again if I was able to...

for the "MILF Performer of the Year", Ava Addams wins hands down (with honorable mention to Lisa Ann but she already won this award in 2009...)

I'm shocked that Bonnie won due to her, umm, polarizing look, but in terms of performance level, maybe I shouldn't be. Big winners also include Skin, Mia, Remy and Riley who all scooped multiple wins, and especially Anikka who bagged four. Manuel's fifth win for Male Performer is a record.

In notable news from the red carpet, LaCroix brought that tool Machine Gun Kelly as her guest/date/whatever, and Sean Michaels is the smoothest pimp there is.

It's interesting that Annika Albrite won the Best Anal Sex Scene for "Annika" which is the her first anal scene. I wonder if she's going to do more anal scenes.

Ok can someone please explain me what 'Solo Girl' actually means.....

I was under the impression it meant a girl that doesn't do hardcore....am I wrong?

I wouldn't worry about that. I'd like to know how many of those 5000 nominees got sucked into showing up there for a chance to pick up a $30 brass doorstop. 27 people inducted into the Hall of Fame. Are you fucking kidding me?
