This past Saturday, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas hosted the 30th annual Adult Video News Awards, a little modest event sponsored by True Love Waits. James Deen, the Promise Keeper next door teetering on the verge of crossover stardom for his upcoming role co-starring with Lindsay Lohan in The Canyons, won Best Male Performer. A delicate flower named Asa Akira brought home Best Female Performer. Lee Roy Meyers, the Saturday-morning cartoonist behind SpongeKnob SquareNuts, did not win Best Director—that honor went to Axel Braun, the Sunday-school teacher responsible for such nursery rhymes as Euro Nymphs and Boy Meats Girl (1 and 2).
Among the other wonderfully family-friendly categories as Best MILF/Cougar Release (an honor for animal activists) and Best Original Song (2012 winner "Stuck in Your Crack" was surely about sidewalks) was Clever Title of the Year. Past victors include 2012's Beggin' for a Peggin' (an underdog tale about the Mighty Ducks of Cribbage), 2011's The Devil Wears Nada (a biopic of the Spanish Anna Wintour), and 2010's Who's Nailin' Paylin? (an animated investigation into Home Depot's finances).
As to be expected, this year's nominees were all completely inoffensive and safe-for-children. Behold:
