AVN 2014: The Winners – The Men

While it’s usually the women standing at the podium holding a glistening phallus that get the most attention at every annual AVN Awards, the men of porn are equally congratulated on their work in and out of the hottest pussy on the planet (if you can call that work). And it wasn’t just performers who got hailed as the year’s best at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas this Saturday past, those behind the camera got their fair share of attention, too.

Continuing a string of unprecedented success stories, Axel Braun nabbed his fourth consecutive Director of the Year award while his films Man of Steel XXX: An Axel Braun Parody and Iron Man XXX: An Axel Braun took home another two trophies and proved that all of the accolades might have finally gone to Herr Direktor’s head. The closest any other director or producer came to equaling Braun’s 2013 successes wasn’t very close at all, but you’ve still got to hand it to Manuel Ferrara: he not only shot an insanely wild reverse gangbang in late fall, he polished off the season as the man behind the winners of AVN’s Best All-Sex Release (Slutty & Sluttier 18), Best Anal Series (Evil Anal), and Best Continuing Series (Slutty & Sluttier). That, of course, is in addition to his fifth Male Performer of the Year trophy.

The other stud who no doubt left Vegas more professionally gratified than ever before was Best Actor Tommy Pistol. Having taken roles in everything from Thor XXX: An Axel Braun Parody to Combat Zone’s Vagina Worship to 3rd Degree’s Young Thighs in Knee Highs, Pistol spent much of his eighth year in porn assisting in the productions of others. With Band Sluts, though, he was handed a role tailor-made for his comedic and physical talents by his director and leading lady, Joanna Angel. The Burning Angel feature sees the two gag-happiest people in porn embark on a road trip in search of “fame, fortune, and fucking,” capturing every dismal artistic failure and boner-fied sexual conquest in a hilarious rock ‘n’ roll epic. Fuck Fellini and 81/2 and The Rutles and Zelig and all that shit! Band Sluts is the only mockumentary worth watching sans pants!

AVN 2014: The Winners – The Movies

The biggest winners at the 2014 AVN Awards might appear to have been the men and women winning individual prizes, but porn is still a features-based industry heavily reliant on home video sales. This means any feature winning a top prize at the “Oscars of Porn” is bound to skyrocket in popularity and see its studio, director, and stars riding a wave of post-awards momentum. This year there was one movie that outshone all others, Brad Armstrong’s dark cyborg-laden fantasy, Underworld.

Starring Armstrong’s wife and Wicked contract star, Jessica Drake, Underworld didn’t just take home the big prizes (Best Drama and Movie of the Year) but saw many of its contributors honored in their respective fields. Best Supporting Actor Xander Corvus and Best Feature Director Armstrong also saw awards for Art Direction, Cinematography, Editing, Packaging, and Screenplay granted to Underworld’s crew.

Winning slightly less major awards were feature films The Submission of Emma Marx (Best BDSM Movie), Grease XXX: A Parody and Man of Steel XXX: An Axel Braun Parody (Best Parody – Comedy and Drama respectively), the Mason-directed Anikka (Best Star Showcase), The Temptation of Eve (Best Romance Release), Burning Angel’s Band Sluts (Best Comedy), Manuel Ferrara’s Evil Angel series Sluttier and Sluttier (Best Continuing Series), Marc Dorcel’s The Ingenuous (Best Foreign Release), and Evil Angel’s first Steele-directed feature, Lex Turns Evil (Best Interracial Release).

Oh, and last (and certainly least), the award for Clever Title of the Year went to Seymore Butts for Cirque du Hole-A. Oy vey.

Maddy O’Reilly Anointed Slutwoman

In what can only be regarded as the career highlight (thus far) for the plucky redhead from North Carolina, Maddy O’Reilly has been anointed from on high by Elegant Angel and shall from this day forth until the culmination of her reign be called “Slutwoman”.

Taking the mantle from previous title holders Annette Schwartz and Kristina Rose, 23-year-old O’Reilly makes an already great start to 2014 even more thrilling with her Elegant Angel deal. After proving her worth at the AVN Awards with nominations for Best Actress, Best Oral Sex Scene, and Female Performer of the Year, and winning the trophy for Best Solo Sex Scene (from Not The Wizard of Oz XXX). Working with Evil Angel on her own showcase movie, in which she’ll appear in every scene and also (with Mimefeak) be co-directing the action – a first for any Slutwoman!

Of her forebears, O’Reilly said “I’ve looked up to them as performers. It’s like a new athlete being compared to his favorite player. It means the world to me. I still can’t believe it, and it’s a huge honor.” She also details what she believes to be the reasoning behind her appointment: ““I like doing romance and couples-themed movies, but I also like pushing my sexual limits. I like diversity and I’m going to bring different styles of sex to Slutwoman. I can do it all, and I enjoy doing it all.” And, following on from former her co-star and now fellow Elegant Angel director Asa Akira, she doesn’t take directing lightly, telling AVN that the job is one she thinks “should be a goal of any girl in the industry, especially if [she has] passion for it. It’s my name of the box cover and I want it to be the best.”

O’Reilly’s also mere days away from the January 29th release of her very first anal scene. Shooting two backdoor endeavors for Hard X’s Mason-directed “Maddy”, the titular star has her rear passage penetrated by the one and only Manuel Ferrara before really expanding her horizons with her James Deen and Ramon Nomar in DP debut.

Stay tuned to Mr. Pink’s for more on Maddy O’Reilly’s Slutwoman debut. In the meantime, check out the trailer for her HardX showcase, “Maddy” here and, for God’s sake, clean up after yourself.

Elegant Angel’s Performers of the Year 2014

Every year, at the end of every year, one of US porn’s most prominent and respected studios, Elegant Angel, releases its Performers of the Year DVD. Gathering together the most dazzling performers of the past twelve months, Performers of the Year 2014 sees Maddy O’Reilly, Riley Reid, Remy LaCroix, Bonnie Rotten, and 2013 AVN Female Performer of the Year Skin Diamond for six scenes of hardcore thrills above and beyond the level of most adult endeavors seen in 2013. A directorial collaboration between Toni Ribas, Carlos Dee, Mimefreak and Elegant Angel’s latest superstar director, Asa Akira, herself a three-time featured Performer of the Year.

“Waitasecond,” you interject, “six scenes? But there’s only five girls!” Well, on the latest Elegant Angel podcast, Veruca James regales the hosts with a story about shooting a scene for the release with Riley Reid. Something of a bonus two-girl treat in an otherwise hetero-only fuckfest, the scene had Toni Ribas struggling to keep his two stars in line. After spending all day flirting and working themselves up, Riley and Veruca were disappointed to discover their director only wanted one of them to lap at the other’s pussy; Veruca would get Riley off but wouldn’t get off herself. Furious, they stood together and insisted that they both deserved some relief. Faced with two lingerie-clad beauties foaming at the mouth and clawing at each other, Ribas relented. Veruca’s unsure whether her orgasm will be included in the final cut, but either way it’s clear she’s as excited for its release as, well, basically every porn fan on the planet.

A street date for Performers of the Year 2014 will be released soon from Elegant Angel.
