AVN Media Network is proud to
announce that it has selected Chanel
Preston and Wicked Pictures contract
star Samantha Saint to co-host the
31st annual AVN Awards Show,

Once again, the biggest night in
the adult entertainment industry is
set to take over The Joint at the Hard
Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
In addition to hosting the show
together, Preston and Saint have
other things in common. They were

stunners each have been AVN
nominees for Best New Starlet amd
Female Performer of the Year.
“It’s truly an honor to be selected
to host the AVN Awards,” said
Preston, who also served as the
show’s trophy girl in 2011. “I’m

profile job in the industry. I’ve been nominated for big awards, I’ve been the trophy girl, but nothing can compare to the
magnitude of hosting such a big show. I’m totally ready for this and I can’t wait until the big night! Now I need to start
looking for dresses.”
Preston, a native Alaskan who began her career in adult entertainment in 2010 for Vivid’s Brand New Faces series, has
ascended the ranks to become one of the industry’s top performers, known for both her volcanic sex scenes and her acting
skills. She’s toplined numerous high-profile features, parodies and all-sex releases for all the major companies.

The 27-year-old Preston currently hosts Adult Insider for the X3Sixty Network, the entertainment channel’s flagship show.
Saint, a Memphis-born beauty, exudes warm Southern charm. The lithe blonde is the newest Wicked Pictures contract
star; her latest films for the company, Saint and Sinners and Secret Admirer, are now in stores.
“I’m super excited to be hosting the biggest night in the industry,” Saint said. “It’s an honor to be asked to do this and I
know it will be a huge highlight in my career, not only to host, but to represent Wicked on stage as well. I’m going to
make the most of it.”
In addition to Performer of the Year Saint was nominated for Best Boy/Girl Sex Scene, Best Oral Sex Scene and Best
ADUL T WHO’S WHO

Saint described being ecstatic when she found out she was hosting the 2014 AVN Awards with Preston. The leggy pair
worked together before for Brazzers in Pornstars Like It Big 14.
“Oh my God, I love her,” Saint said of Preston. “I was so excited to find out we were hosting together. I think it’s the
perfect match; we
’re both tall and I’m the blond and she’s the brunette. We get along and play off each other very well—
we click. I’m always thrilled to see her, but now to host the AVN Awards together is going to be a blast.”
