Today Is...AVN Awards

It's award season and there is only so many times you can see Brad and Angelina posing for photographs on a red carpet or Kate Winslett blubbing in front of a podium before you reach the conclusion that God, these gong giving events are brain numbingly boring.
While the more mainstream actors and actresses are getting their backs slapped, there is a more alternative award ceremony going on today that celebrates the actors and actresses who get slapped onto their backs. Or up against a wall. Or on the bonnet of a car. Actually, almost anywhere because today is the 41st Annual Adult Video Awards at the wholly inappropriately named Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas.
The show promises to bring together thousands of adult stars showcasing the latest innovations and newest developments across the adult entertainment spectrum although what the newest developments could be in movies that are basically people having sex in different places is something we probably shouldn't think about too much.  
Seth Gamble and Maitland Ward will be hoping to repeat last years successes and pick up the best actor and actress gongs again and 'Grinders', a 90s inspired coming-of-age movie filmed in the no-rules skateboard aesthetic of that era by all accounts, was voted the best film last year.
Special mention must go to the best title of the year winner 'Up Uranus' although it might be best not to ponder to long on what the film is about, but i don't think it's regarding Astronomy.
The most expensive Porn film ever made at an expense £8m and which earned an armful of awards to its artificially enhanced bosom was Pirates 2: Stagnettis Revenge, a special effects laden romp which is loosely based on the Pirates of the Caribbean film although i don't remember Johnny Depp doing that with a ho ho ho and a bottle of rum.
