gayvn-awards-newThe 2009 GAYVN Awards nominations were announced this morning, and one big change is readily apparent: There are a lot more nominees than usual. The marquee categories have been expanded well beyond the usual ten nominations. Here’s a quick rundown of the top nominees: Raging Stallion Studios appears to dominate the studio tally with a bushel of nods for TO THE LAST MAN 1-2, natch. A total of sixteen films are up for Best Picture; Dink Flamingo’s Dirty Bird Pictures is the only studio with two films — ENDGAME and THE PORNE ULTIMATUM — in contention. A whopping 18 films earned a Best Director citation (not counting directing teams), while 19 are in contention for Performer of the Year and Best Actor, and 15 for Best Newcomer. We’ll have more awards analysis later this afternoon. CLICK HERE for a partial list of nominees…

    I am very happy to hear I was nominated. Congrats to all the nominees. :)

  2. PornFan on February 9, 2009 3:12 pm

    Wow, that’s a lot to digest in one sitting. I’ll just wait for JC to sum it all up…LOL! I am at work anyway.

    too bad that the awards are so slanted – especially this year since Gayvn has given it over to Nakedsword. I wonder if this will be a reflection on the movie they helped Raging Stallion make and it winning all the noms? Hum? dumb question – I don’t think so. who cares about this stupid award show anyway – it’s a bunch of freaks who drink too much and make fools of themselves anywya.

  4. TJ on February 9, 2009 4:34 pm

    They should give out two winners from each category with so many nominated. That way more of the guys leave happy and want to have more SEX!!!

    :)

  5. Will on February 9, 2009 4:45 pm

    Naughty boy PornFan, get back to work!

  6. Peter Z Pan on February 9, 2009 5:01 pm

    We’re very proud of our 7 nominations for “The Twink Whisperer” & “Sebastian Young Reduxxx”! My congratulations to the other nominees. And a very special congrats to my boys: Aaron Tyler (Best Actor) & Sean Preston (Best Supporting Actor) — and to Robbie Hart & Ashton Longboard (Best Oral). I feel like a proud daddy :-)

  7. WendyWilliams on February 9, 2009 5:06 pm

    Yeaaa my solo gay dvd released by my company “JackingOff4u” was nominated for Best Solo Dvd ,,,,,,,,,sweet!

    Guess I should go ahead and wrap up #2 which is shot but Ive been so busy with my ts stuff.

    Congrats to all but my favorite Wolf Hudson!

  8. WHATEVER on February 9, 2009 5:51 pm

    Sammy don’t be such a douche.

  9. Wolf Hudson on February 9, 2009 6:10 pm

    Thanks Wendy, you are great and congrats to you too. :)

  10. WendyWilliams on February 9, 2009 6:11 pm

    Wolf makes me giggle like a school girl and want to do dirty things to myself :)

  11. T-Bird on February 9, 2009 6:30 pm

    I agree with an earlier post you almost have to give away 2 awards each category there are too many to choose from.
    Wolf has to win for sex scene in Pounding the Pavement…
    It was too hot for words, I pounded something and it def was not pavement!

  12. Wolf Hudson on February 9, 2009 6:36 pm

    Thanks T-Bird, I am happy with scene. It was my first time working with mr. PAM. She is awesome.

  13. K. on February 9, 2009 7:47 pm

    It’s a travesty that, among all those nominees, the deeply boring and mechanical Diesel Washington is the only one of color. Eddie Diaz is far superior.

  14. Rodney on February 9, 2009 8:42 pm

    K,

    Eddie Diaz is nominated for best threesome and best group scene. This list is not complete.

  15. WendyWilliams on February 9, 2009 8:51 pm

    I was hoping to see Tristan Mathews for Best Newcomer!

  16. Frederic on February 10, 2009 5:14 am

    yeah like always it creates more stress and distress if i see some of the nominees; best all-rounders and winners in toto are D.O., Tommy Lima, roman Heart, Max Schutler and Damian Rios but where are hotties such as Tyler Johnson, alexy tyler and pistol pete???

  17. Casey on February 10, 2009 9:50 am

    I agree, way too many nominees. I guess it’s a way to keep every major company happy with at least one of their films getting a nom, but this is ridiculous!!

  18. Will on February 10, 2009 10:01 am

    It also makes the evening torture to sit through, I would imagine, having to listen to an endless list of nominees being read out for each category. Snooooze.

  19. Sammy on February 10, 2009 1:58 pm

    Oh paleeze – get a life! This is just an event to boost their egos and pump themselves up within the industry. What’s most important are the fans like you and me.

  20. droughtquake on February 20, 2009 3:54 pm

    Why no category for all the criminals in porn? (Sub-categories for murderers, thieves, etc.)
