Adult Empire Names 2019 Pornstar of the Year Finalists
Each December, Adult Empire designates one performer as the Adult Empire Pornstar of the Year. The honor is reserved for the star who most shaped the landscape of the adult industry in a given year. For 2019, we’re adding a new stage to the process: the announcement of a set of finalists, from which we will choose the year’s winner. Check out the 2019 finalists here:
Autumn Falls
The hard-working Falls defined the vanguard of 2019’s new starlets: committed to their careers and committed to expanding their sexuality onscreen. In some ways, she is a newbie echo of the previous winner of Pornstar of the Year (Angela White), in her petite, busty frame and all-natural look. (The pair have shot several scenes together, including one in the bestseller Drive.)
Aubrey Kate
Trans stars have become a part of porn’s most elite talent. There are few better examples of this than Aubrey Kate, who has shown the ability to excel both in supporting roles and featured showcases alike. Kate appeared in I Am Riley, Captain Marvel XXX, and Drive, all of which rank as some of 2019’s top bestsellers, in no small way due to her remarkable contributions to each.
Maitland Ward
Maitland Ward represents a new paradigm in porn stardom: the mainstream actor who turns to porn as a part of her development as both a person and an artist. Her performances thus far have come in notable blockbusters such as Kayden Kross‘s Deeper line, making her first year in porn all the more impressive.
Angela White
The winner of the inaugural Pornstar of the Year prize in 2018, White hasn’t slowed down a single bit in the ensuing year. Her remarkable streak of 74 weeks (and counting) atop the Adult Empire pornstar rankings speaks to her evergreen popularity, as do the remarkable sales figures of hits like Angela White: Dark Side.
