Rizzo gushed on stage, choking up as he told the crowd it was his “first award” ever.Ĭongrats CONGRATS CONGRATS & /CSDEeMjM4q
One of the night’s big winners was Armond Rizzo, a massively popular gay porn actor who won the GayVN award for best duo sex scene along with Max Konnor for a scene in. But despite the show’s longevity ( AVN, a major trade publication for the adult film industry, launched the awards in 1998) and perceived prestige, it’s hard to nail down exactly what a GayVN might mean for a winner. Staged at Las Vegas’ Hard Rock Cafe, hosted by Shangela with performances by Danity Kane and Brooke Candy, the awards - sometimes called the “Oscars of gay porn” - recognized winners in 15 judged categories, 11 fan-voted categories, and inducted one industry veteran into its Hall of Fame. The best of the best of the gay porn world received accolades on Monday night when the GayVN Awards handed out their annual prizes to industry actors, films, and directors.
