Awards ceremony with a differences … the AVN’s

Bank Holiday Monday, stuck at home and TV is boring I feel the need to take myself away and find something that would pick me up. I check out my friendly streaming site hoping to find a stream of the ‘Red Nose USA’ show from the other day.

As I went down the list of shows, my eye caught a glimpse of the AVN Award Show on offer. I have blogged some pictures from the event before but I have never watched it and I found myself intrigued enough to check it out.

The AVN’s are the porn industries ‘Oscars’ and I am a sucker for an award show so I sat back to see if I could be entertained. I have watched many red carpets in my time but nothing like this. It looked like any other event I have seen before but the questions were a bit more probing. Dana DeArmond and Karlie Montana were hosting the red carpet and I can’t say I have ever seen any of their work before but there interviewing technique was ok, they did their job. I learn some interesting facts and things about the ‘stars’ walking the red carpet, very interesting really. I don’t think when Meryl Streep is interviewed on the red carpet she had slept with the interviewees.

Danielle Stewart opened the show, again someone else I have never heard of before who I thought was the host of the night, but she was the comedy turn. Some of her jokes were good if close to the knuckle and I later learnt she was a stand-up comedian. I should have known she was not a porn star with such a normal sounding name.

The actual hosts were pornstar Alexis Texas and Tommy Pistol see what I mean about the names. Time to dish out the award and there were a lot of them but only the ‘biggy’s’ were in the hour show. First, out of the trap was the ‘Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene’ and has I watch through the nominees I saw a few names I did recognise but they didn’t win. That accolade when to Gabriella Paltrova & Remy LaCroix from the movie Gabi Gets Girls. Best this best that was to come and endless lines of pretty young things coming on stage to do the normal, thank you mum, dad etc. How happy would their parents be is my question?

I was not interested in the male awards so I fast-forwarded through them.
Sophie Dee
There were a few Brit winners and losers with Samantha Bentley a winner in the Best Sex Scene in a Foreign-Shot Production maybe mummy and daddy would be proud. Someone I do no, in the sense that I know who she is, Welsh porn star Sophie Dee, I blogged her before she missed out on the fans vote for ‘Best Boobs’ but in the world of silicon was always going to be a tough one. A Brit was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame, Joanna Jet, her stage name, who is a trans woman and a porn actress, model and director.

My curiosity spiked I wondered if there was a British equivalent so I did a google search and there it was ‘The UK Adult Film and Television Awards’. However, it is no longer celebrated due to lack of sponsors and bad planning and promotion in fact the last time the British porn stars partied was back in 2008.
