\"AVNThe 54 page list of AVN Awards Nominations<\/a> has been released and yes, I wasted too much of my precious time scrolling through it this afternoon.<\/p>\n

There isn’t much to report really; AVN has once again nominated the standard selection of big-name porn movies and the same old stars as part of the industry’s yearly orgy of self-congratulation. Innovation or new ideas don’t really get much of a look in and there are very few female-friendly titles listed. <\/p>\n

This year’s big move is the decision to include web sites and web-based companies in their award system… something that actually has me feeling kind of tetchy. The web is OUR turf, AVN. Keep your silicon boobs off it! Of course, the nominations for “Website of the Year” are all for big-name sites offering the same old stuff, although Abby Winters did get a look in.<\/p>\n

Still, there are a few good news stories. Congratulations are in order to Tristan Taormino whose Expert Guide<\/em> films have accumulated a total of 6 nominations. Jamye Waxman’s Personal Touch<\/em> series is also up for a gong in the Best Educational Release field.<\/p>\n

The Danish porn for women film All About Anna<\/em>, released by Wicked in January, has been nominated for Best Foreign Feature, Best Packaging and Best Music Soundtrack.<\/p>\n

Eon McKai’s Vivid Alt films have also got numerous nominations.<\/p>\n

This year they seem to have added a “Clever Title of the Year” section. Nominations include: Charlie Wilson\u2019s Whore<\/em>, Strollin\u2019 in the Colon<\/em>, Hairy Movie<\/em> and the rather-less witty Get That Black Pussy, You Big Dick White Bastard Mutha Fucka<\/em>. Unfortunately the genuinely amusing title Night of the Giving Head<\/em> wasn’t included in this section.<\/p>\n

The awards are announced in early January 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
