This year was special because it was broadcast live. This was tried before previously by Cezar Capone when he was in charge of production in I think 2008 or 2009. I can’t remember which now, it’s been so many years. But still, it was nothing like what they accomplished tonight. The feed was high quality and stable. I was very impressed.
There were two real highlights from the show, one made me laugh, the other made me cry.
The first was when Markus Dupree and Lana Rhoades got on stage to accept their award for Best Anal Sex Scene. During his acceptance speech, he said something like “I want to thank my agent. Derek is not a nice guy. If you want to find a nice agent, it’s not Derek. But if you want to work hard, make money and be successful, you go to Derek.” He went on to talk about how Derek from LA Direct Models pushed him and did so much for him. It was really a sweet but funny moment.
The next most memorable part of the ceremony was when Greg Lansky won for Direct of the Year. Instead of giving an acceptance speech he called Kevin Moore on stage, who spoke about the death of his wife. {see the speech here}
To be honest, it blew me away and broke my heart. What he said actually brought me to tears. I know many others had said the same thing.
As touching as his speech was, it was the AVN Awards and that means we were here to find out who the winnes are.

After the awards Lana posted this on her twitter:
I love how knowbody else cheers for me except my best freind this industry is full of jelous thots ya I said it fuck you bitches ??
I think Lana has been watching too much Jerry Springer. No one uses the word “thots” other than on his show. Since everyone winning last night is either a glorified prostitute (performers) or a pimp/panderer (directors, producers, agents, distributors) anyway I guess it fits, though. Don’t get me wrong, I love porn, pimps, panderers, whores and prostitutes and think all should be legal but let’s call it what it is.
As for the winners, congrats — including Lana. Too bad her “best friend” couldn’t make herself support her friend in this time of joy. If I had been there I certainly would have applauded.
