This year the 37th annual AVN Awards were held once again in Las Vegas. As in last year, the big winner was Angela White, winning a total of eight awards including Best Leading Actress. The Director of the Year went to Kayden Kross, who also won Best Director for a Dramatic Production for Drive, which pulled in 8 more awards. Teenage Lesbian won Movie of the Year and three other awards (and also cleaned up at XBiz). Director Will Ryder cleared the board in the comedy categories, winning all three awards for Love Emergency. Director Axel Braun won four awards with Captain Marvel XXX, including Best Parody.
The show was hosted by model Emily Bloom and adult star Nikki Benz. The entertainment included EDM superstar Diplo, along with a surprise appearance by Lil Pump. Doja Cat was also a featured musical guest. You may remember her from one of the most bizarre music videos ever, Mooo!, where she wanders around as a cow.
The number of categories has grown insane. The Academy Awards has 27 categories (with some of the technical awards at a separate show). In comparison, there are way over one hundred categories just in movies alone at the AVN Awards, and then there are a whole bunch of awards for pleasure products. There are categories with 15 nominees. It is getting a bit out of hand.
Then, when they publish the winners, they seem like they are in a completely random order. I tried to organize them, but I gave up. Here they are in mostly random order.
