AVN Awards
The AVN Awards are film awards sponsored and presented by the American trade magazine AVN (Adult Video News) annually to honor achievements in the global adult entertainment industry. The awards are often called the "Oscars of porn".
The award ceremony occurs in early January during the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. AVN sponsored the first AVN Awards ceremony in February 1984. Since 2008, the show has aired in a form edited for time on Showtime, which is usually broadcast in a 90-minute time slot.
The awards are divided into over 100 categories, some of which are analogous to industry awards offered in other film and video genres, and others specific to pornographic/erotic film and video.
Awards for gay adult video were a part of the AVN Awards from the 1987 ceremony through the 1998 ceremony. The increasing number of categories made the show unwieldy. For the 1999 ceremony AVN Magazine began hosting the GayVN Awards, an annual adult movie award event for gay adult video.
The design of the AVN Award changed several times before reaching its present form in 2013 when it was redesigned as part of the 30th anniversary of the awards show. The redesigning effort was led by Michael Krasun and supervised by AVN CEO Theo Sapoutzis. Krasun was a veteran with 25-plus years of experience in the designing, fabricating and building of restaurants, nightclubs, airport facilities and theme fixtures around the world.
The makers aimed to create an artifact that represented "sexual expression, integrity and exotic flair", and after months of work arrived at a figurine that showcased "two people in a very erotic embrace, yet without any explicit details of the bodies on display". This impressive resultant figurine was conferred the official AVN award going forward.
All the award trophies are hand-poured and custom mixed, containing 40 percent resin and 60 percent ground marble, making them very sturdy. An epoxy coating with a mix of bronze powders is applied as final finish. A solid black stone base with the award winners details is engraved on the front side. The artifact, from its inception to fabrication, was accomplished entirely in the US.
The winners of the AVN Award in various major categories since they began in 1984 have been listed.
