The AVN Awards are movie awards sponsored and presented by the American adult video industry trade magazineAVN (Adult Video News) to honor exceptional performance in various aspects of the creation and marketing of American pornographic movies. They are called the "Oscars of porn".[1][2][3] The AVN Awards comprise nearly 100 categories, some of which are analogous to industry awards offered in other film and video genres, and others that are specific to pornographic/eroticfilm and video.
AVN sponsored the first AVN Awards ceremony in February 1984. The award ceremony occurs in early January during the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 2008 AVN Awards were scheduled to air on Showtime on March 14, 2008 at 12am ET/PT [4].
Awards for gay adult video were a part of the AVN awards from the 1986 ceremony through the 1998 ceremony. The increasing number of categories made the show unwieldy and for the 1999 ceremony AVN Magazine began hosting the GayVN Awards, an annual adult movie award event for gay adult video.
In order to be eligible for a given year's AVN Awards, a title must have been released between October 1 of two years before and September 30 of one year before, and it must be available either from at least 10 wholesale or at least 100 retail outlets by the deadline of September 30 of the preceding year.

At least her friends think so. They told her to paint "ATTN: Police Please Do Not Pull Me Over Just Because I'm Pretty" on the rear windshield of her car because the bubbly blonde was constantly being pulled over.
Dasha, a Washington state resident who wasn't willing to give her last name, claims to have been stopped by police for speeding 30 times in the cities of Bellevue, Kirkland and Seattle, and only received two citations — both of which were dismissed.
Good luck? Maybe good looks is more like it.
