AWARDS
Echo Lawrence - January 27, 2025
Your favorite Egotastic writer (me) was front and center at the AVN Awards this past Saturday in Las Vegas, and let me tell you, this thing was wild from start to finish. Think the Oscars, but spicier... a lot spicier.
The red carpet was lit as the biggest names in adult entertainment strutted their stuff at the Virgin Hotel, showing off outfits that would make even the Met Gala blush.
Hosting duties went to comedian Steph Tolev and adult stars Blake Blossom and Alex Knight, while Jason DeRulo turned up as the musical guest, giving the crowd a show they’ll never forget (though Iggy Azalea set a high bar last year).
The biggest win of the night? Female Performer of the Year went to Anna Claire Clouds, who absolutely stole the show in a sheer lace bustier paired with a white satin skirt that screamed Old Hollywood meets Vegas glam. Throw in enough bling to make a jeweler jealous, and Anna was ready to snatch her crown.
Anna also took home the award for "Best Anal Scene" alongside her co-star Zac Wild for their work in the film "Slutty When Wet".
Maitland Ward, yes, that Maitland Ward from Boy Meets World, scooped up Best Actress in a Featurette. She hit the red carpet in a skintight purple satin dress with a thigh high slit, looking like she just knew she was going to take home an award.
The 47 year old is no stranger to the awards circuit, fresh off another win at the XBIZ XMAs. She’s gone from sitcoms to steamy films, and judging by her ever growing trophy shelf, she’s owning it.
Angela White decided to keep things modest, well, modest by AVN standards. She rocked a floor length, long sleeved black gown with a high neck. Translation: you’ll have to pay to see more. Smart move, Angela.
Angela ended up taking 6 awards home, including the award for Most Spectacular Boobs, Hottest All-Girl Creator Collab and Favourite Female P*rn Star
The drama wasn’t just on the big screen, OnlyFans stars Lily Phillips and Bonnie Blue are locked in a feud hotter than the Vegas sun, by the way where has that sun been this last week, it's freezing here..
Bonnie’s accusing Lily of stealing her idea to break the world record for sleeping with 1,000 men (yes, that’s a thing), and the tension was palpable. Both were up for Favorite Independent Female Creator, but in the end, neither walked away with the title. That honor went to Mama Plugs. That's what you get for trying too hard, girls!
Lily still turned heads on the red carpet in a backless black gown, though, so maybe she’s the real winner here.
Co-host Blake Blossom, who could honestly moonlight as a motivational speaker, opened up about the hustle behind the scenes. Apparently, this isn’t just a “show up, do your thing, and get a check” kind of industry—it’s competitive. “I joked that I wanted to collect every award like Pokémon,” Blake said. Iconic energy, we love Blake over here!
And collect awards she did! The actress took home the award for Best Girl/Girl Scene along with co-star and friend Octavia Red for their work in the movie "Hot Lesbian Babes Eat Each Other” | Titwoman vs Titwoman. Quite the name.
Speaking of awards, Best New Starlet went to Gal Ritchie this year, but let’s hope she dodges the infamous “Best New Starlet Curse.” Industry insiders claim it’s a thing where winners supposedly fall off the map, but legends like Stormy Daniels and Abella Danger prove otherwise.
Gal also took home the award for Best Foursome / Orgy Scene" for her work in "20 for 20" alongside fellow winners Angela White, Queenie Sateen, Ryan Reid, Lily Lou, Luna Star, Hollywood Cash, Scott Nails and many more. It was an orgy after all!
All in all, the 2025 AVN Awards delivered everything we expected: jaw dropping outfits, major wins, and enough drama to keep the gossip mill turning for weeks. Vegas, you never disappoint!
