2019 AVN Award Winners: A Look Back
The nominees for the 2020 AVN Awards are set to be announced later today! That makes it a perfect time to recap the winners at the most recent AVN festivities, held this past January in Las Vegas. The night’s biggest movie winners were Possession of Mrs. Hyde (five wins) and Deadpool XXX (four wins), while perennial favorite Angela White hauled in another half dozen statuettes (including Female Performer of the Year), plus wins in the AVN Fan Awards. And stay tuned as we look at other years in upcoming blog posts! (Get a leg up by checking out the Adult Empire category page for listings of winning movies from past years over the last two decades.)
Movie of the Year
An Axel Braun flick scored the top prize for the second time in two years (following Suicide Squad XXX in 2017), thanks to the mesmerizing new spin on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Best Anal Movie
Greg Lansky‘s movies always perform well at award time, and First Anal Vol. 6 was no exception, capturing the prize for the top-drawer anal movie of the year.

Best Anal Sex Scene
Angela White had long nurtured the hope of shooting a scene with Rocco Siffredi, and the results did not disappoint! A simple meet-and-green sequence turned into spontaneous sex so intense, that it garnered the award for the top anal sex scene. (Hear Angela’s vivid recap of the making of the scene in our in-depth interview covering several of her biggest 2018 movies.)

Best BDSM Movie
Eddie Powell‘s Hotwife Bound series kicked off in 2016 and climaxed with a big award win in 2019 for the third installment. “Hotwife Bound is always exciting to shoot,” Powell told AVN upon the movie’s release. “Both hotwifing and BDSM genres allow for dramatic storytelling and striking visuals. Add a cast that embraces those themes with genuine enthusiasm and vigor and you get something special every time.”

Best Drama
Tori Black, Kayden Kross, and Vixen? With this much talent involved, After Dark was always destined for critical plaudits and award attention.
*After Dark
Best New Starlet
AVN 2019 capped off an incredible year for Ivy Wolfe, who found herself being named a Penthouse Pet, Twistys Treat, Vixen Angel, and Best New Starlet within a span of just a few months.

Director of the Year
Kayden Kross wrested the award away from popular director (and frequent collaborator) Greg Lansky in a year that found her repping for many high-profile woman directors in the business.

MILF of the Year
The MILF category offers stiff competition, with some of the industry’s most experienced stars. Yet Cherie DeVille was an obvious choice, notching her second straight win.
*Cherie DeVille
Female Performer of the Year
Really, it’s Angela White‘s world, and we all simply live in it. Back-to-back wins as Performer of the Year are rare, but then again, so are stars of White’s caliber.

Niche Performer of the Year
Karla Lane, long one of the industry’s best-known and hardest-working BBWs, snared Niche Performer of the Year to go along with prior wins in the BBW Performer of the Year category.
