[1] Comedian Robert Schimmel[1] returned as host[5] and actresses Alisha Klass,[2] Midori and Serenity co-hosted the award show.

Other winners included Café Flesh 2 with four awards, Tushy Heaven with three and Euro Angels 10, Forever Night, Masseuse 3, Models, Pornogothic, The Pornographer, Strange Life: The Breech, Tatiana each with two.

[4] Co-host Klass won Best New Starlet with Tom Byron and Chloe winning Male and Female Performer of the Year awards respectively.

[4] Gary Miller was producer of the show[1] and comedian Robert Schimmel was selected for a second consecutive stint as host.

Erotic X-Film Guide magazine reported this was a faux pas: "Stephanie went to the podium to get her award and swore that she did not have sex with Jon Dough in the video.

Hustler magazine reported, "Accused of rigging its voting process to favor its advertisers in the past, Adult Video News's judges restored luster to the proceedings this year by bestowing awards to deserving nominees.

"[2] However, the magazine noted co-host Klass managed "to shock the ceremony's seen-it-all, heard-it-all organizers by repeatedly expressing her fondness for" anal sex.

As much as the industry likes to pat itself on the back and as much as we love AVN for giving us the porn equivalent of the Oscars, the show must go on.
