Wasteland took top honors as Movie of the Year, also winning best drama and six other awards, including a directing award for Graham Travis, who also directed the previous year's top movie, and a Best Actress victory for Lily Carter. Star Wars XXX: A Porn Parody took six awards including Best Parody – Comedy.

Ceremony information

Changes to awards categories

Beginning with the 30th AVN Awards, the following changes to award categories took place: [5]

Reception and review

Some media outlets were impressed by the show. Robin Leach of the Las Vegas Sun reported, "It was the annual sea of sexiness that couldn't take place anywhere else in the world." [18] He also noted the large size of the crowd as did the Huffington Post, which pointed out, "Thousands of fanboys and porn stars flooded the halls" and "all the A-listers were there." [19]

In Memoriam

As the show was beginning, AVN used a video segment to pay a tribute to adult-industry personalities who had died since the 2012 awards show:

Time constraints prevented the segment from being re-edited to include director Fred J. Lincoln, who had died a couple of days earlier. [20]
