The 2007 AVN Awards have been announced, and it pretty much looks like more of the same. Manhunters, a feature from Wicked Pictures, was named Best Film. It’s by Brad Armstrong, with a label of “action-erotica”, and sounds kind of like an adult version of Charlie’s Angels. I have to say, I’m not in any hurry to watch it.
There were also a score of other awards for every kind of porn film. Winners included Horny Hairy Girls 22 and Weapons of Ass Destruction 4. Same ol’, same ol’.
There were a couple of awards of interest to this blog, mainly because I’ve posted about this films before:

Erocktavision won Best All-Girl series
Tristan Taormino’s Chemistry won Best Gonzo Release (“I was completely shocked,” she said)
Buck Angel was Transsexual Performer of the Year
Jean Val Jean, who has featured regularly in the Playgirl films, was Male Foreign Performer of the Year
Beyond that, though, it looks like the AVN awards have once again celebrated the status quo in the porn industry. Alternative voices don’t get much of a look-in. I mean, the movie awarded “Best Alternative Release” was called Real Adventures 84, which seems to be just another “spring break flashing” movie.
AVN’s round up of the awards is here.
Update: I just read that Gene Simmons from KISS was there and he received the first ever “Golden Tongue award. Who knows, maybe next year we’ll see this award given to the actor who best performs cunnilingus.
Well, I can dream, can’t I?
If you want to see Gene Simmons – along with Dave Navarro, Carrot Top, Criss Angel and all the other Hollywood celebs present awards to the adult industry celebs – Playboy TV is showing the 2007 Awards show this weekend and next. Check our blog post for dates/times – http://adultweblife.com/blog/?p=664 It was a little “predictable” – I agree with your post here, but it’s always exciting. Think about it – in Hollywood you HOPE for a “nip slip” – at AVN you NEVER know what’s going to pop out – lol
