Page 41 - AVN September 2015

Standalone Web Scene Eligibility:
To be considered for nomination in the one of the four eligible categories, scenes
must be released on a site that has members who are paying a monthly fee to
Directors and studios can now nominate non-features in two categories.
Best Gonzo Movie is for projects that employ a cinema verité style making the
cameraperson a participant in the proceedings, which may or may not incorporate
access the site’s content. As with producers of content that is distributed on DVD
and VOD, membership sites must also maintain 2257 records.
At the beginning of September, AVN will begin accepting pre-nominations
for the 2016 AVN Awards. Check AVN.com for details on accessing the pre-
nomination website. The site will remain open until midnight on September 30.
AVN has redefined some of the categories for the 2016 AVN Awards with an
eye toward making it easier for studios, directors and performers to nominate
their work. Particularly notable are changes in the feature and non-feature movie
category.
POV footage. Best Anthology Movie is for projects that include either vignettes
or all-sex scenes or a combination of the two. There are also niche categories in
which non-narrative movies can be nominated.
Narrative movies can be nominated in the traditional arenas of drama, comedy
and parody. Movies with storylines can also be nominated in niche categories
when they fit the criteria. And AVN has added a new niche this year, Best
Polyamory Movie, to recognize the wave of titles that derive their erotic charge
from extracurricular sex of various flavors, from hotwife fantasies to swinger
scenarios to cuckolding.
