First let me say THANKS to AVN for even mentioning my name along with the Internet Pioneer Hall of Fame Award. I am honored to even be considered for such a prestigious award. I am SO sorry that I could not attend this year but I had a previous commitment with my son that I just couldn't, in good conscious, skip. Thanks, Chris, and the whole AVN team.

Now, to all of the award haters let me say this.....I, personally, would never try to host any kind of awards show for this very reason. This industry is CHOCK FULL of deserving people that deserve to get awards. I could name at least 20 people that could have won any of those awards and I am glad that I didn't have to be the one that decided. As for advertising, look at any AVN Magazine over the past year and you will not find one single ad for NationalNet (or any of my affiliated companies). Walk around the show floor in Vegas this week and you won't see a single NationalNet sign either. Is it because I think it is not worth it? Absolutely not. It is simple economics in that we are concentrating our marketing efforts in the mainstream world in 2009 and 2010 and they already know that so giving me an award can not possibly get them anymore business.

Congrats to the winners, the nominees, and the ones that deserved to be both but got missed! ;)

So nice you had to mention it twice! :thumbsup:thumbsup

Oops....sorry. First congrats on your award. But I gotta say that just because I am critical of the whole thing does not make me a hater. I think that best blow job scene awards are a joke. Best actress is a joke. Best double anal or whatever is a total joke. No one can take this shit seriously. Is this some kind of parallel universe? What kind of talent does it take to give a freeking blow job or take two dicks and groan loudly? This is not hating, it is purely observation. I get it as business, but to actually take it seriously is nutty as a fruitcake.

Congrats to all the winners :thumbsup

i am still missing "best handjob with left hand", "best handjob with right hand" and "best handjob with no hands"

Congratulations to all the winners :thumbsup

Congrats to all the winners...especially Sunny, Ron and Tony! WOOT WOOT

Thanks to everyone for their continued support.

We won Best Alternative Series this year with our Naked College Coeds line.

Congratulations to all the nominees and winners!

I think it's just a misdemeanor, though.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I missed that as well. Now that would take real talent....lol...cumontheredcarpetwithnohandsdotcom

Kimberly Kane was one of my very first hardcore shoots.. wow she has come a long way.
She was very young and cute then, cool to see she how well shes done.

Homegrown Video wins Best Amateur Series!
 

Well we have only cut back our advertising drastically so I don't think the ads buys awards thing is all true...

But who cares?

All I know is HOMEGROWN VIDEO WON FOR "BEST AMATEUR SERIES"!!!!

congrats to me, spike, hgmof and all the Homegrown crew and all the people that sent us their homemade sex tapes!

Yeah, congrats Mr. T

Thanks, glad I am not the only one patting us on the proverbial back.:thumbsup

Nah, I have always admired your work. And you were a pretty good piss artist back in the day.

I'd like to see you take 2 dicks at once while you smile and look pretty and still say it doesn't take talent LOL!

It ain't exactly "Gone With the Wind". Come on. Sure it takes commitment and practice. But it is not years at acting school. Endless hours after school of practicing accents and pratfalls. Learning lines for an entire play that may run 90 minutes and hitting your mark every time. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in time and money honing your craft. Learning skills like horse riding. Making an audience shudder with the flutter of an eye. That is award winning talent. It sure doesn't come from smiling while you have two dicks in your ass.
I am not dissing what anyone does. I am never going to win cinematography awards in this racket. It applies to all of us. This is a low talent, entry level entertainment business. And no porn actor ever goes on to a big time real acting career. They don't have the skills.

somethings not right
i think theres a couple missing.
or did they just combine them together?
Best Actress, Video
Best Actress, Film

Congratulations Homegrown! :thumbsup

They should have got the last man standing award as well.

bump for my good friend Evil
