AVN Awards for Sacrosanct from
Trenchcoatx/Jules Jordan. Kross won
for Best Anthology Movie and Best
Director – Non-Feature. “I didn’t win
Best Cinematography—I just told him
what to do. I’ll pass this one along.
Winning feels unreal. Really, really
good. I wanted this one to win. I
cared about it a lot. Every scene was a
lurking fantasy in my own mind.”
MILF Performer of the Year Cherie
DeVille said, “I’m insanely, insanely
excited. It’s my first AVN Award,
and it’s for the award that really
meant the most for me. It’s really
emotional. Every other MILF in that
category is even more extraordinary
than the next, and to even be listed
among them is an honor. To win ... is
unbelievable.”
“It’s always great to win,” Jules
Jordan said after collecting AVN
Awards for Best Anal Movie for Anal
Savages 3 and Best Anal Series for the
Anal Savages line. “It’s fun to see what
you come away with. Every year it’s
a little different. It was an anal year
for me. We also won for Best Anal
Sex Scene [in Anal Savages 3] with
Markus Dupree and Lana Rhoades.
I always like to win for individual
scenes, because those are the most
competitive categories if you ask
me. There’s so much good stuff out
there. I like winning those better than
winning for whole movies.”
Perennial AVN Award winner Mick
Blue came away with three trophies.
“It’s fantastic every year. It’s one thing
to get the nominations, a huge honor,
and when anything you do wins, it’s
just phenomenal,” Blue said.
“We feel fantastic,” said Michael
Guilfoyle of XR Brands, winner for
Best Fetish Manufacturer. “Our team
has done some amazing things over
the last several years, and we’re
really excited to see our efforts be
recognized by the AVNs.”
Ryan Wayne from Best Web Retail
Store winner AdultEmpire.com said,
“I’m really proud to be here. This is
our 20th anniversary this year.”
Tom and Honey Christian from
19honeysuckle won the Fan Award
for Favorite Camming Couple. “We’re
very excited,” Tom said. “We put a lot
into it, and we really tried to get our
fans motivated and keep them voting
every day. We couldn’t be happier.
Overjoyed.”
Jenny Blighe won Favorite Indie
Clip Star. “I feel incredible. This is
my sixth nomination, I’ve been in the
industry for almost six years, and this
is my first win. I’m still kind of shaky
about it.”
AVN Awards co-host Angela White
accepted three awards on stage during
the show, but she was amazed when
she was told at the lounge that she
had won a total of 14 AVN Awards. “It
really hasn’t all sunk in. I’m definitely
in shock. I’m probably going to cry
later. I can’t actually take it all in. I’m
overwhelmed and incredibly grateful.
This is the best night of my life.”
