2011 AVN Awards

http://avnawards.avn.com/2011_nominations.pdf

I know that a lot of you aren't really into American porn (or DVDs for that matter), but I think the nominations are interesting if only to take a look at what was "popular" in the porn world that year. And there are some categories that deal with websites, too. For example:

Best Alternative Web Site
CoverMyFace
CrashPadSeries
CumshotSurprise
DancingBear
FootFetishDaily
KenMarcus
Kink.com
LiveGonzo
MeanBitches
Mia-Isabella
PlumperPass
PublicDisgrace
RealSquirt
TeasersVOD
VSEX
WendyWilliamsXXX

Also, I remember reading a few years back that TBP was one of the sites that is consulted to make up the list of nominees, and wanted to ask if that was true, and if they just basically look at your top rated sites and go from there.

I my mind the nominees shouldn't be taken for what's "popular"; instead they just reflect the general rank and standing of the major players in the industry. The AVN's are put on by the major adult labels and, in my mind, is just another marketing angle for promoting their wares and giving their stars media face time. Things like "best membership site"? Please. Don't ask the industry, ask the customers.

Great question. I hope that Khan answers in the positive. That means that maybe consumer input actually has some meaning in picking the nominees. I'd certainly trust the staff here to give useful input to AVN.

The most interesting about this list is not who's on it as much as who's not. I tend to agree with Witty that AVN is a marketing tool to promote certain sites and studios that are friendly to AVN in return. It's for sure that if they had asked PU member then the list of sites would have been significantly different. Long live the Brown Coats.

Since you guys aren't involved then they certainly aren't asking the best review site to come up with a true list.
Mind you seeing some of the sites that got nominated don't make my radar then I'm not surpised. Long live the Brown Coats.

Rachel Aziani is such a nice lady and a hottie too. The have some really beautiful women.
Earl Miller truly has shot every major star before they were big.
I remember when I was doing some consulting for him sitting at the Circle bar as suitcase pimps shuffled up their newest find only to be turned away by Earl.

We were just hanging out to see if we could pick up one of his rejects which were all very pretty women.

Buzz and Earl have that eye for what is up and coming. And having worked on that site in years past I can tell you that you wont be disappointed with either of them if you like glamourous sizzling hot women!

I can't believe AndrewBlake's site won in our category. It looks like all recycled content ;(

Did he win or was he just alphabetically in first place, Shap?

According to the TBP review of Andrew Blake's site, there are NO downloads of ANYTHING on the site - and he gets an award for best photography website - must have been voted on by people that have never joined a website in their life, because nobody that joins websites is happy at not being able to download what's on the site.

I would never join his site. Not being able to download is just ridiculous. The tour did not entice me either.

Some of the winners sure make you doubt the value of the awards and the method used to determine the winners?

Brazzers?
Andrew Blake?
Abby Winters .. A website infamous for having split up a great site out of sheer greed?

Ridiculous!

Virtually all awards ceremonies seem to be just any industry's excuse for preening, crawling, back-stabbing & a party.

Not necessarily in that order!
