2010 AVN Award Nominees

Studio: Reel Queer Productions Category: 2010 AVN Award Nominees

So it’s award season and normally I’d be sulking, a lot, because it’s always the Nacho’s and Buttman’s and rarely the Nica Noelle’s of the porn world getting the recognition. Fortunately this year whining will wait till I get to the Animation of the Year category, because this year Reel Queer Productions “Speakeasy” was nominated!

Why am I excited? Why am I ever excited, it’s either boobs or hot men and this time it’s both! My new favorite female to male transgendered performer Billy Castro plays a prominent role in “Speakeasy.” Sorry Buck, you’ll always have a tender place in my libido but Billy has that something extra I crave – hair! This will also be my first viewing of a Reel Queer Productions film so I’m all a twitter with good expectations.

Studio: Diabolic Category: 2010 AVN Award Nominees

2010 AVN Award Nominee for Best Ethnic-Themed Release – Asian.

I never know what I’m going to get when I start reviewing nominated movies every year. I always try to go outside of my comfort zone when selecting what to review and am often surprised by just how much fun it is!

Today I thought I’d take a look at Fornicasian from Diabolic. I tend to shy away from movies that focus on any group that is often stereotyped in adult. The last thing I need to see is a group of women of Asian descent who grew up in California dressed up as Geishas and fucked. Not that any XXX company would ever do that… However, I’m branching out and Asa Akira is insanely hot, so I decided to give this one a shot. Plus, Tommy Gunn is in two scenes and I love that Jersey boy something fierce.

Things open up with Akira touching herself before John Strong comes in. It was during this brief period that I decided I was 100% correct when I deduced from the cover shot that she is absolutely gorgeous. She also sets the tone for this porn, which is pretty good. The sex is pretty straight forward as they go through the list of required positions (spooning, doggie, cowgirl) but the way Akira moves makes what could be a pretty typical scene stand out.

Overall, this is a decent collection of scenes, but it’s pretty standard JO material. If you’re looking for something that offers plot or anything out of the ordinary, I’d look elsewhere. If you’re just in the mood for hot girls getting drilled, you could definitely do a lot worse than this Diabolic movie.

Last week we celebrated the nominations for 2010′s Oscars of porn, the AVN Awards.  Since then, we’ve been all bouncy and excited for the fine folks that made the list this year, and apparently we are not the only ones.  People have been blogging up a storm since the announcement, including the nominees themselves.  So, here’s a little insider scoop of the AVN nominations – straight from the horse’s mouth!

Jiz Lee wrote up a delightfully thanks-filled piece about both her nomination for “Best New Web Starlet” and Pink and White’s  “Best Video Feature” for Champion: Love Hurts and even included us on the list!  *Blush!*

If an explicit film with a plot about a female fighter who faces homophobia/gender discrimination as a major plot-line can make it into the running of what many call “The Oscars” of adult movies — add it it that the majority of the cast and crew are queer/trans & gender-non-conforming/people of color, and that it was produced with less than half the budget of the other videos in this category — then Holy Shit that’s better than Hollywood….

…As a genderqueer I never expected to be listed as a “starlet”. I mean, I’m SO very different than the other new web stars on AVN’s nominations list. Like, I’m the only one packing! But I’ll take this as an opportunity to open any doors in gender and sexuality — whether it’s a cisgender woman who wishes she didn’t have to shave her legs/armpits/lovely asshole to be sexy, or whether it’s a trans or gender-variant perv who thinks there may be a chance at stardom in the mainstream. There is opportunity out there for queer visibility and expanding acceptance at who we are and how we love.

Last week JD posted a list of our favorite movies that were justly nominated for AVN Awards this year. It’s awesome to see some of the movies that blew us away on the list, but I was taken aback by how many movies that weren’t on my radar that look super awesome! Today’s list highlights the five movies I had never heard of that I will definitely be checking out in between my holiday baking and present wrapping.

High On Heels: I can’t believe I missed this movie – I am completely in love with Dita Von Teese and would love to be the girl rubbing her feet at the end of a long day. This fetish flick features Ms. Von Teese in every single scene and I can’t wait to review it.

Fuck The World: With nine nominations, including Best High-End All Sex Release, this Club Jenna film was one of the most frequently recognized film this year. It also happens to have Jezebelle Bond’s farewell performance, which I’m sure is going to be amazing and I loved director Jack The Zipper‘s Razordolls.

Naughty Black Housewives: I’m not really into the whole housewives thing, but I’ve got nothing against three hours of hot and heavy XXX action. LT directs and stars in every scene, and I’ve watched enough of him in the past to know this one is worth checking out. I’m especially looking forward to seeing Sky Jolie ride his big dick!

Nymphetamine Volume 3: Nymphetamine is Michael Ninn’s new lesbian series and he’s maintained his incredibly high standards while capturing some amazing girl on girl action in it. I did have a chance to check out one of these earlier and if it’s any indication, I’m going to love this one.

Young Harlots Finishing School: Harmony films are usually pretty hardcore and I kind of love them for it. Not all girl porn has to be full of cuddling and kissing. There were a couple of films nominated from the Young Harlots series this year, so I figure I’d better see what these Brits have been up to in 2009!

Be sure to check out the rest of the 2010 AVN Award Nominations for any hot movies you may have missed. With the one billion movies that were released this year, it’s impossible to stay on top of it all!

Studio: Elegant Angel Category: 2010 AVN Award Nominees

2010 AVN Award Nominee for Best All-Sex Release.
2010 AVN Award Nominee for Best Tease Performance.

As you should all know by now, the 2010 AVN Nominations were announced last week. I’m really excited to see a ton of my favorites from the year nominated, including a mind-blowing number of the lesbian and queer porn movies we’re always talking about. While I’m thrilled for them, I always love this time of year because it gives me a chance to watch a lot of movies I overlooked during the previous year. I thought I’d start today with Curvy Girls 4.

This one is set up like most Elegant Angel movies – five scenes starring girls Jay-Z could have had in mind when he proclaimed “you don’t need a small waist, I’ll take ass and tits.” Each scene starts off with a quick tease ranging from sexy dancing to Carmella Bing icing down her nipples. It’s nice to get to know the girls a bit before the XXX begins, but I have to admit that three or four scenes in I was kind of over it.

I am pleased to say that all five of these scenes were pretty fantastic – apparently this movie warranted both nominations this year! There were a couple that stood out to me that I’ll discuss quickly.

I’m always excited when a new starlet catches my eye, so the Gracie Glam scene with cutie James Deen was one of my favorites. Glam has an amazing ass and Deen doesn’t waste any time with this gorgeous girl. You have to see how hard he works when she begs for him to fuck her harder – this is a dude that aims to please! My only suggestion is that you skip the bs intro in which Glam shows off her cheerleading skills… She works a cock far better than she works a sports crowd.

The other scene I really loved was Jenna Presley’s because it features a ton of dirty talk from this buxom brunette. She looks absolutely amazing in her black lingerie right from the start, and once Mick Blue starts giving it to her doggie style I was hooked. This one is a little dirtier than the other, if that influences your decision making at all. While I haven’t seen Presley in action a lot, she’s a star that’s been around for the last five years and shot a ton of scenes. This one helps me to understand why she’s so popular!

Overall this is a great movie if you appreciate seeing a girl with a great ass getting drilled. Thanks for bringing this (along with forty billion other nominated movies) to my attention AVN!

The 2010 AVN Award nominations were announced last week and we are as excited as could be about this year’s picks.  While there are so many awesome movies nominated for these Oscars of porn, we thought it would be fun to highlight our very top five favorites of the nominees honored this time around.  And the winners are…

And the votes are in! The 2010 AVN Award nominees have been announced, and this year the picks are better than ever. Basically the Oscars of porn, the AVN Awards honor the best and brightest of porno movie royalty. So, yeah, they are a big freaking deal. This year we are extra excited because so many of our favorite performers are on the list! We are super happy for them and know they all completely deserve the nominations.  Check out the full nomination list.

While many of the folks nominated have had the pleasure of making the list in previous years, I want to make sure to give a special shout out to some HM4Her crushes that are celebrating their first AVN Award nominations this year. Especially the San Francisco queers that are breaking through the mainstream barriers of porn and bringing their insanely sexy gender/sexuality bending action to the masses. This year is the first that AVN is recognizing the work they do as being on par with some of the most well known names in mainstream porn.

So, who am I talking about? Jiz Lee, Dylan Ryan and Pink and White Productions (dir. Shine Louise Houston)!  I remember that last year we were excited when queer performer Syd Blakovich walked the AVN red carpet as Madison Young’s date, and now look at us – cheering on these awesome queers for their own nominations!  And surprisingly, it’s not for a queer category either.  Jiz is up for Best New Web Starlet, Dylan for Best Solo Sex Scene, and Pink and White for their Best Video Feature, “Champion,” which was shot with a mostly queer/trans/gender non-conforming/people of color cast and crew and with a way smaller budget than any other movie in the nomination category.  Hot, right?  So, congrats to these rad pervs!  Who cares who wins… the nod is freaking awesome.

Some of our other favorite porno gods/goddesses that made the list this year are:

Nica Noelle – Director of the Year
Kimberly Kane – Best Actress
James Deen – Best Actor/ Male Performer of the Year
Carlos Batts – Best Director (Non-Feature)
Roulette – Best Music Soundtrack  (I told you!)
Sweet Sinner – Best New Line
Good Releasing – Best New Video Production Company
Sasha Grey – Best New Web Starlet/ The Jenna Jameson Crossover Star of the Year
Belladonna – pretty much every award
Tommy Gunn – Best Actor/ Best Supporting Actor
Penny Flame – Best Supporting Actress
Joanna Angel – Director of the Year
Dana DeArmond – Female Performer of the Year
Buck Angel – Transsexual Performer of the Year

Seriously, there are so many awesome movies and performers nominated, I could spend the whole day making a list. Why don’t you just check out the whole list here.

Congrats to one and all!

xoxo
