Well, the winners have been chosen, the photos have been posted, and the hangovers have mostly subsided. Judging the GayVN Awards (the Oscars of gay porn movies) was easy this year.
Buckshot's "Buckleroos" and
Titan's "Horse" were the clear winners in most categories, at least in my opinion. There were many other movies I really enjoyed, but you have to look at each category separately and choose the best of the selection.
CHOICES I AGREE WITH:
-
Zak Spears was the clear choice for Non-Sex Role in
BuckleRoos 1-2, a category that is usually a total joke.
-2004 was the year of
Tag Adams. Good choice for Performer of the Year.
-
Eddie Stone is a good choice for Best Newcomer, but there is some controversy that he's been around too long to be considered a Newcomer. (Newcomer is based on date you first movie is released, not the first time you join Chi Chi's entourage...)
-
Brad Benton in "Freak" was a good choice for Best Supporting.
-Best Threesome was definitely the "Mormon" scene in
BuckleRoos 2. That is a scene that will go down in porn history. It should be taught in schools, or at least at Neverland Ranch.
CHOICES I DID NOT AGREE WITH:
-I would have chosen Falcon's "Kept" for Best Group Scene.
-I think
Marcus Iron had a slight (VERY slight) advantage over
Dean Phoenix in
BuckleRoos 1-2.
-I think
Jerry Douglas got absolutely robbed for Best Screenplay.
