The 21st AVN Awards ceremony, presented by Adult Video News (AVN), took place January 10, 2004 at the Venetian Hotel Grand Ballroom, at Paradise, Nevada, U.S.A. During the ceremony, AVN presented AVN Awards in 94 categories honoring the best pornographic films released between Oct. 1, 2002 and Sept. 30, 2003. The ceremony, televised in the United States by Playboy TV, was produced and directed by Gary Miller. Comedian Jim Norton hosted the show for the first time with adult film star Jenna Jameson in her third stint as co-host. [3]

Contents

Heart of Darkness won five awards including Best Director—Film for Paul Thomas and Best Film, however, Space Nuts took home the most awards, with six. Other multiple winners included Rawhide, with five awards; Beautiful and Hard Edge with four wins apiece and Fetish: The Dream Scape and Looking In with three each. [4]

Winners and nominees

The nominees [2] [3] for the 21st AVN Awards were announced on December 1, 2003. Rawhide received the most nominations with 15, followed by Heart of Darkness with 14, Space Nuts and Compulsion each with 13 and Beautiful with 12.

The winners [5] were announced during the awards ceremony on January 10, 2004. Space Nuts, a shot-on-video feature with six wins, became one of the rare movies that didn't win a best picture category; those having been won by Heart of Darkness (Best Film), Rawhide and Beautiful tying for Best Video Feature and The Fashionistas capturing Best DVD. The tie of Rawhide and Beautiful for Best Video Feature was a first for that category. AVN's voting procedure in the event of a tie is "Those voters on the AVN full-time staff who did no vote for either of the videos during the original balloting must revote." But even after that step a tie still existed, so AVN senior management decided to let the result stand. [4]

Ceremony information

AVN created five new categories for the 2004 awards show: Best Amateur Tape, Best Amateur Series, Best Marketing Website — Production Company, Best Retail Website and Best Transsexual Performer. [8]

A few years earlier, AVN had changed its Best Amateur Tape and Best Amateur Series Awards categories to Best Pro-Am or Amateur Tape and Best Pro-Am or Amateur Series. Amateur productions and pro-am productions now will be split into separate categories with professionals shooting or performing in the pro-am categories but not the strictly amateur categories. The Best Marketing Website — Production Company category is for free websites "strictly devoted to marketing adult product," and the Best Retail Website category is for non-pay sites selling adult products. [9] Best Transsexual Performer was created because until now, the only award recognizing the transsexual genre was the Best Transsexual Tape, which recognized directors more than performers. [8]

Besides being recorded for March broadcast on Playboy TV, a DVD of the awards show was also issued by Hustler. [1] [10] [11] [12] [13]

Performance of year's movies

Hustlaz: Diary of a Pimp was announced as the adult movie industry's top selling movie and The Fashionistas was the top renting movie of the previous year. [1] [6]

Critical reviews

High Society magazine viewed the show and its surrounding AVN Adult Entertainment Expo favourably: "AEE, and the accompanying AVN Awards, is a hell of a lot of fun, but we're kind of glad it only happens once a year. That many breast implants, tattoos, piercings and diva-like attitudes in one buiilding, at one time, is a little much, even for us." [14]
