Best Adult DVD

Riot Sluts - Mason Productions/Platinum X Pictures
Riot Sluts showcases intense sex and interesting scenarios with some of the best performers at their very best. All five scenes were nominated for AVN Awards. Female director Mason only releases one or two DVDs a year and has absolutely perfected her unique style of adult.

Best Adult DVD - All Girl

Cousin Stevie's Pussy Party #1 - CSI/Pure Play Media
Pussy Party is the most innovative concept in years and the result is near perfection for those who enjoy watching women truly enjoying sex with other women.  Any edition of this series could have won this award, but because this DVD also contains our choice for  "Sexiest Moment", we gave it the nod.

Best Adult DVD - Couple Friendly

Shane's World #28 - Collector's Edition - Shane's World Studios/New Sensations
This is just one of those DVDs where it all works. Following in the footsteps of MTV's Real World, five girls and four boys spend several days in a house with the cameras rolling the whole time. The interactions are real and the sex is hot. We've labeled it "couple friendly" simply because it can appeal to anyone, from the novice viewer to the hard-core pornaholic.

Best Adult DVD - Gang Bang

Six Pack - Platinum X
Director Brandon Iron can make 2 guys and a girl feel like a gang bang, so with 6 guys in each scene, the action is incredibly sexy, intense, and quite messy. Sexy blonde Melissa Lauren stars in one of these scenes...need we say more?

Best Adult DVD - Squirting

Squirtwoman #2 - Elegant Angel
Not since the Seymore Butts/Alisha Klass days has squirting been captured so erotically. Cytherea's at her absolute best in this DVD and the appearance of Tiana Lynn is icing on the cake.

Best Adult DVD - Oral Themed

Cum Swallowing Whores #3 - LeWood/JM Productions
The title pretty much says it all. It's filled with cum-loving girls who get exactly what they love. There are no girls ducking the nut, dodging the cum, or avoiding the pop. Ever since facials, cum swapping, and swallowing has become the norm, it takes a lot for an oral-themed DVD to stand out. This one did!

Best Series

Tie: Azz Fest - Video Team
This is an excellent series with only one flaw...Video Team doesn't release them fast enough. The five DVDs in this series have offered 25 scenes and all five are hot (although DVD #5 is probably the best!). The girls are all sexy and often wear fishnet nylons, the performers know how to have great sex, and the director knows how to shoot a sexy scene.

Tie: Photographic Mammaries - Platinum-X Pictures
This series satisfies those with a boob fetish as well as those who just want to watch good, hard, high energy sex. It's light and fun at times and totally hardcore at others. Brandon Iron is an expert at shooting DVDs with fetish themes that still appeal to everyone.

Best Series - All Girl

Cousin Stevie's Pussy Party - CSI/Pure Play Media
The format driving Cousin Stevie's Pussy Parties results in a series that really can't miss. Each DVD has 7-9 girls, who use 15-20 sex toys and play in an all-girl orgy. What makes this formula unique is that they are performing before a panel of judges with cash prizes being awarded to the winners. (Does anything make porn stars hornier than a pile of cash?) Early DVDs in the series are just plain fun, while later DVDs are showing a definite edge to them. They're all hot, but with enough variety to keep all of them interesting!

Best Series - Couple Friendly

We said this above, but it definitely bears repeating. "Couple Friendly" does NOT mean light, soft core, frilly, fluffy porn that many porn fans wouldn't like. "Couple Friendly" just means that these DVDs leave out some of those things that might scare away novice viewers, such as ATMs.

Tie: Jack's Playground - Digital Playground
This series is arguably the most professionally-made gonzo adult series out there. The basics like lighting and editing are completely pro while still making the viewer feel like they're right there watching the action rather than watching a movie with action. It's clever and funny without distracting viewers away from really hot sex  scenes.

Tie: Shane's World - Shane's World Studios/New Sensations
There's no way to give this award and leave out Shane's World. Their DVDs are consistently sexy, fun, and never miss being very hot. Shane's World has three series of adult-themed movies that all deserve an award, namely College Invasion, Shane's World, and Slumber Party (all girl).

Best Series - Gang Bang

Gang Bang Auditions - Diabolic Video
Diabolic is the king of the gang bangs and nobody does it better. Sometimes the girls get annihilated and sometimes the boys just aren't enough for them, either way this series is always high energy and very intense.

Best Series - Oral Themed

Feeding Frenzy - Jules Jordan/Evil Angel
We're not sure what Jules Jordan gives to these guys, but they all cum like they're trying to put out a fire. We're not sure these guys know what the word "dribble" even means. On the other side of the mess are beautiful girls who act like poison victims who just found out that the antidote is in the testicles.

Best Series - Rough/Intense

Un-Natural Sex - Diabolic Video
This series is simply un-natural. This is the most un-natural sex we've seen that still clearly features girls who want un-natural sex.

Best Adult DVD Title

My Ass is Haunted - Belladonna Entertainment/Evil Angel
During the behind the scenes interviews, German porn star Katja Kassin tries to understand  what the word "haunted" means. When she finally gets it, she looks confused and says "I don't understand. How would an ass be haunted?"

Best Adult Themed Cable Series

The Family Business - Pure Play Media
The Family Business is a reality TV series that follows the day to day adventures of Seymore Butts. For the majority of viewers, it's the first time they get to see what it's like for those in the adult entertainment industry. The most compelling aspect of this series is that Seymore Butts, Seymore's Mom, and Seymore's Cousin Stevie unite to run the family business, which happens to be the business of making adult DVDs. Besides being an important show for so many reasons, it's incredibly funny and entertaining with a cast of very real, likeable and charismatic people!

Most Intense BDSM Series

Virgin Kink - Redboard Studio
They call it "Reality Fetish" and it's not for the faint of heart. The Virgin Kink series features girls who have either never tried or even seen "real" BDSM. These girls usually don't know what they're getting into since the goal of each scene is to get her to "break". Did we mention that it's not for the faint of heart?

Best Male Director

Tie: Seymore Butts
Seymore Butts is one of our all-time favorite directors who (along with John Stagliano and Rocco Siffredi) pioneered the "Gonzo" style of adult videos. More than any other adult director, Seymore takes you to where the action is happening and makes you feel like you're right there in the room. Hats off to Seymore for his years of excellent adult directing.

Tie: Patrick Collins
Patrick Collins didn't direct the high volume of adult DVDs as he has in previous years, but each one he did direct was extraordinary. Not only did he bring back the Buttwoman Series with AVN Porn Star of the Year, Lauren Phoenix, but Patrick Collins also released Squirtwoman #1, Squirtwoman #2, and Cum Rain Cum Shine... three of the best squirting videos of the year.

Best Female Director

Tie: Bridgette Kerkove
As a performer, Bridgette Kerkove is known for being one of the most extreme anal queens in the adult industry. Hence, it's no surprise that Bridgette's now one of the most extreme anal-themed directors too. The best porn always happens when a director shoots what they really like, which explains why her scenes are always so hot.

Tie: Kylie Ireland
Because of her years as a "contract girl", most gonzo performers thought Kylie Ireland wouldn't be able to cut it in the hard core side of porn. As it turns out, Kylie Ireland not only handled it, she pretty much blew everyone away as a performer. Kylie started directing this year and provided five of the best Gonzo releases of 2004.

Best Interviewer

Robbie Fischer - Red Light District
Robbie Fischer charismatically asks the right questions and rejects porn star run-of-the-mill answers. Robbie's friendly personality relaxes porn stars, who then reveal interesting facts or secrets. Robbie understands that most fans of the gonzo/reality style of porn want to know as much as they can about the performers. Robbie Fischer amiably asks the right questions that we would ask if we were there... and porn stars appear to be themselves when talking with Robbie.
