As expected both XBIZ and AVN have removed the BBW category from the awards show this year. While XBIZ removed it all together, AVN now considers BBW a fetish-themed production, same as BDSM mature and other specialized genres. So anyone who wants to submit a BBW movie for a nomination can do so but it will be competing in the fetish themed genre.
In addition, AVN introduced a new category called Niche Performer of the Year to cover those fetish-themed productions.
As you might have expected some people are rather upset about it but in reality, they don’t get a say as to what the awards categories are.
Awards are a privilege, not a right.

That was an unnecessarily bitchy, editorializing ending to what was otherwise a fact-filled, good news article.
