This one jumped out at me from the start, never mind that it is condescending to the person who wins it but should it really bear Jenna’s name? Instead of say Ron Jeremy’s?
I’m not taking away anything from Jenna, she has done well for herself but the real question in my mind is who has done more in mainstreaming the industry? Ronnie hs been a friend to the biz for longer than Jenna has even been alive. Ron has had parts in a LOT of mainstream movies, enough to have his SAG Card, and he has helped a LOT of other porners get into mainstream and to get SAG Cards.
Ron is universally recognized and has been an intelligent spokesperson for the industry, he is always gracious with fans and consistently signs more autographs at trade shows than anyone else.
But even at that why attach a name to it at all, I mean how would, say Stormy Daniels feel should she win this award (which she deserves IMHO) Will it seem to her that her accomplishments in mainstream somehow don’t live up to Jenna’s? Particularly when it could be argued that Stormy or even Jesse Jane have done a far better job of representing the industry professionally?
Does this mean AVN will give Jenna a say so in who receives the award with her name on it?
This ones just a bad move no matter how I look at it.
