AVN Awards winners & nominees
The Oscars of porn, running since 1984.
The AVN Awards have been handed out by the trade magazine Adult Video News since February 1984. The Oscars-of-porn label mostly fits: a January ceremony in Las Vegas, more than a hundred categories, and a trophy that follows a performer for the rest of her career. The show runs inside the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo. Even a nomination here is the single most-cited credit in the business, which is why it shows up on so many of the profiles below.
Across the performers we index, that comes to 132 wins and 3982 nominations, spread over 1374 performers.
