Yhivi, who co-starred in Deadly Vows, also was
on the red carpet despite what she confessed was
a terrible case of cramps. “We only have a certain
amount of opportunities to come together and reflect
and celebrate all the hard work we put in, so I prioritize
it,” she said.
Popular pro-am director Tad Pole said he’d had
dinner before the party with a tableful of starlets
including Alexa Chains, Madison Wilde, Lilith Grace,
Eva Nyx and a girl named Natalie. “I hope I didn’t miss
any other girls there,” he said. Pole eventually snagged
noms for Best Niche Performer and Best Indie/Amateur
Movie or Series.
Director Claudia Ross was there to support Wicked’s
big summer production, Seth Gamble’s Once Upon a
Time in The Valley, as well as a comedy she directed
for Elegant Angel, titled Silver Linings. “It’s a cute little
comedy,” Ross said. “I would love to get some love—
and for everyone else, honestly, to be happy. Everyone
is in a great mood and it feels lucky tonight.”
Long considered the “Oscars of Porn,” the 43rd AVN
Awards Show in January, presented by MyFreeCams,
will be co-hosted by Brazzers exclusive star Abigaiil
Morris and influential cam girl/creator ItsLo. Both were
in their official roles last night, lighting up the stage to
emcee the nominations presentation.
GayVN Awards show hosts, Men.com exclusive
Drake Von and Genius, also took the podium to
announce a short list of diverse categories, and official
AVN Award Show trophy girls Ava Amira and Meagan
Moore glittered in the spotlight as they addressed the
excited audience.
In a rare appearance, AVN Hall of Fame performer
and ‘80s legend Amber Lynn accompanied AVN
CEO Tony Rios to cap the presentation with the
announcement of nominations in the top categories.
