Evil Angel Lands Over 100 AVN Nominations

Stagliano’s ‘Hard In Love’ Garners Feature Recognition Beside Studio’s Typical Gonzo Haul

For your consideration: a porn studio creating a high volume of elite content in wide-ranging styles. Evil Angel has been honored with over 100 nominations for the annual “Oscars of Porn,” also known as the 2017 AVN Awards. Twenty Evil filmmakers were acknowledged in dozens of categories. Reflecting the company’s diverse approach to erotic entertainment are nods for straight gonzo product and TS material as well as accolades for vignette projects and an ambitious feature, studio founder John Stagliano’s “Hard In Love.”

“People love gonzo sex. It has dominated the market for years,” says Stagliano. “But for sure, good narrative stories have been undervalued. It is exciting to see porn get better! As evidenced by the nominations for ‘Hard In Love’ and projects like ‘My Evil Stepmom Fucked My Ass 3,’ Evil is much more than a gonzo company. In all our movies, we tease girls’ bodies and faces, while others tease situations. But we also tease situations, and we work harder at good sex and good build-up and set-up to the sex.”

Stagliano’s two-part “Hard In Love” took seven prestigious AVN noms, including Best Foreign Feature, Best Director — Foreign Feature, Best Sex Scene In A Foreign-Shot Production (Misha Cross and Nikita Bellucci), Best Soundtrack and Best Marketing Campaign — Individual Project. Samantha Bentley earned a Best Actress nomination and Angel Long a Best Supporting Actress nod for performances in “Hard In Love.”

BAM Visions — the production company headed by porn luminaries Mick Blue, Anikka Albrite and Maestro Claudio — grabbed 13 nominations. Their work was cited for Best Gonzo Movie (“Tease My Ass & Fuck My Pussy”), Best Anal Movie (“Gape Tryouts”), Best Anal Series (“Mick’s Anal Teens”), Best Big Butt Movie (“Ass Workout”), Best Orgy/Gang Bang Movie (“Mick Blue’s Best Day Ever”) and Best Star Showcase (“Mick Loves Anikka”). In what has become an annual honor, the dazzling Albrite was nominated for Female Performer Of The Year.

Among stylish director Jonni Darkko’s 12 nominations are one for Best Interracial Movie (“Brown Sugar Fuck Dolls”), two for Best Star Showcase (“Adriana Chechik: The Ultimate Slut” and “Holly Hendrix’s Anal Experience”) and four for Best Oral Movie (“Gag Reflex 2,” “Sloppy Head 7,” “Suck Balls 5” and “Wet Food 7”).

Some of Evil Angel’s newer directors were rewarded with AVN noms. Director/performer Toni Ribas took eight, including for Best Gonzo Movie (“POV Sluts: Swallow Edition”) and Best New Series (“Toni’s Fucklist”). Mr. Ribas’ on-camera excellence earned him a Male Performer Of The Year citation. Fetish provocateur Aiden Starr bagged six nominations, with “Evil MILFs 2” mentioned in the Best MILF Movie category. The Perv City production company and millennial director/performer Bryan Gozzling were Evil Angel’s rookies of the year: Perv City received a nod for Best New Imprint and three for Best Oral Movie (“Blow Bar,” “Deep Throat League” and “Slobber River BJs”) among six overall nominations. Gozzling gained consideration for Best New Series (“Hookup Hotshot”), Best New Imprint (his Hotshot Productions) and Best Male Newcomer.

Several Evil Angel filmmakers contributed to the studio’s haul of nominations in transsexual categories, led by genre pioneer Joey Silvera. His “The Trans X-Perience 4” got a Best Transsexual Movie nom, and three of his lines made the list for Best Transsexual Series: “Trans-Visions,” “TS Factor” and the venerated “Rogue Adventures.” Outrageous Jay Sin directed Best Transsexual Series nominee “TS Playground,” and Volume 22 of that line, the “Ladyboy Edition,” is a Best Transsexual Movie honoree. Starr’s “Hot For Transsexuals 2” was named in the Best Transsexual Movie category, and that line is a Best New Series nominee. Nominated for Best Transsexual Series is LeWood Productions’ “She-Male Perverts.”

Other Evil Angel producer/directors receiving AVN Awards consideration: Versatile, talented Dana Vespoli was nominated for Director Of The Year and MILF Performer Of The Year; her “ScrewberX” was recognized for Best Comedy, she added a TS nomination, and “My Evil Stepmom Fucked My Ass 3” is a Best Older Woman/Younger Girl Movie candidate. LeWood got a Best Director — Non-Feature nod for “Anal Royalty,” and LeWood’s Francesca Le joins Vespoli as a MILF Performer Of The Year nominee. Porn favorite Manuel Ferrara took five nominations, the biggest for Director Of The Year, Male Performer Of The Year and Mainstream Star Of The Year. Like Ferrara, top African-American pornographer Lexington Steele was recognized in the Male Performer Of The Year category. Spanish madman Nacho Vidal and the legendary Rocco Siffredi earned Male Foreign Performer Of The Year noms. Aiden Riley, Kevin Moore, Mike Adriano, Christoph Clark and David Perry all received plaudits. Evil Angel itself was acknowledged for Best Membership Website (EvilAngel.com) and Best Marketing Campaign — Company Image. Evil Angel and Gamma Entertainment collaborated on FreePornDay.com, recognized by AVN for Best Marketing Campaign — Individual Project.

In all, Evil Angel garnered 117 AVN nominations in 51 categories, with 69 movies noted. Stagliano says, “Evil directors own their own product. They are the creative force behind Evil’s success. Evil Angel is the vehicle by which our directors can more easily explore the porn art form.”

The AVN Awards will be presented Saturday January 21, 2017 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
