(Just some thoughts from a fan.)
Here is the nominees list from the AVN website:
https://avn.com/awards/nominees
- August Ames
- Adriana Chechik
- Abella Danger
- Aidra Fox
- Keisha Grey
- Holly Hendrix
- Katrina Jade
- Elsa Jean
- Eva Lovia
- Riley Reid
- Lana Rhoades
- Jessa Rhodes
- Natalia Starr
- Gina Valentina
- Angela White
The buzz, it seems, is on Angela White & she deserves to win. Her recent scene with Manuel is a masterpiece!
For me I think the best work overall this year comes from Adriana Chechik and Lana Rhoades (and I will not mention that 'incident' between them because it should not be relevant).
There is no doubt that Chechik's work has the most commanding dominance in terms of its quality, intensity & authenticity. Nobody can touch her when it comes to this.
And she keeps getting better & always tries new things. The fact that she won last year may or may not make a repeat less likely. Then again, this happened a few years ago with Tori Black.
And bratnasty is still at the height of her game, just like Tori was in 2010 & 2011. Then again, who knows? Maybe Riley Reid will win a second time too!
Coming at a close second, I think, would be Lana Rhoades. She shoots a lot, but not as much as Chechik. And their intense styles are quite similar, not to mention they both have those beautiful eyes. Her work with Greg Lansky is a revelation.
I would love Aidra Fox to get it too. Her work has always been consistently good & she's been under-rated for so long.
Holly Hendrix winning it will also be great, and also a slight shock, just like when she won Best New Starlet last year
-- although an even bigger shock would be if they give it to one of the ladies who just started doing anal. But is anal that important? Gina Valentina & Eva Lovia are excellent doing what they do.
I would also love Natalia Starr to get it too. A bit confused on whether she should be on the Foreign category? How does AVN determine this? Angela White, isn't she from Australia?
I wonder if the late August Ames is still eligible. It would be great & sad if she got the Performer of the Year award. I miss her a lot...
Strange I only really began getting into Bratnasty after listening to her on Porndirectorpodcast.
It's strange that I began digging certain pornstars after listening to how intelligent, fun & mature they sound on podcasts, like Bratnasty, Nicole Aniston, Gina Valentina & Kayden Kross. It's a shame that Kayden's podcast with Manuel, Get Sexx Tonight did not last long...
While some began to turn me off after hearing them speak. I won't mention names.
Other great podcast guests:
Elsa Jean
Casey Calvert
Dana DeArmond
Jennifer White
Moka Mora (OMG! That one on Porndirpod!)
With all the news that has been happening past few days:
https://steemit.com/nsfw/@petrmisan/explosive-porn-news-these-past-few-days
I predict the most likely winner to be Angela White or maybe the late August Ames.
Lana has a tweet that sort of indicates she no longer wants the award:
That being said, I'm still a fan of all the ladies I mentioned in this steemit post.
So the AVN Winner & also fan favorite is Angela White! Will comment soon...
