Surprises! That is what Den says after reviewing the Fans voting in the 8th annual CAVR awards. Best New Starlet: ----------------- Amee Donavan was the favored. She is tremendously popular and had an awesome first half of the year. But, her lack of releases towards the end of the year really hurt her. Vicky Vette was a real surprise to come out of nowhere to be the runner-up. She was a late entry, but she proves that 38 year olds can be sexy too. Jasmine Lynn was my pick because she had such an outstanding debut year. She gets down with the best of them and she has a nice slim and tight all natural body. Lauren Phoenix was my runner-up. She also had an awesome debut year and this long tall Canadian is hot! Sure is nice to see the all natural ladies back in vogue. But, all things considered, Selena Silver really deserves this win. She is hot. She is smart. She is everywhere. And, she even is a very good reviewer! Star of the Year: ----------------- Avy Scott just barely won this award. Avy's second season win follows up her great debut season last year when she won Rog's Best Newbie Award. Everybody loves Avy. She was my pick also. Taylor Rain had another good year and seemed to be all over the place. Taylor is hot and a real hard charger. Taylor does have a few distractors in the business. Felicia Fox had a real good year topped off by winning her first AVN award. Her and Tim Case have a very popular KSEX radio show. And, her mouth watering all natural boobs sure helps her also. Jewel De'Nyle usually wins this award and had a great year. Jewel has recently announced her retirement from performing and will concentrate her time on directing and PXP. Carmen Luvana won last year's Best Newbie and she seems to have slipped since becoming a contract star. Julie Night is an awesome performer that everybody loves, but seems to not generate the votes for some strange reason. Mary Carey ran for governor and it helped her popularity tremendously. Director of Year: ----------------- Jules Jordan. Quite frankly it is JJ and then the rest of the field. JJ is considered to be on top of his game right now and has won 2 years in a row. He got my vote. John Stagliano is probably the best director ever (Bruce Seven?) and had the monster Fashionistas DVD. Buttman forever! Rodney Moore has always been one of my favorites and has in fact won in previous years. It was very good to see him do so well, especially since he releases are so very hard to find at video stores. Mason had a very interesting year with her changing companies, her puppy drama and her 'coming' out. She is a hot one! I still don't quite get her movies, but she sure does put her body and soul into them. Mike Quasar doesn't always get credit for being the director and sometimes uses other names, but he is a becoming a force within the industry. And, his behind the scenes are the best available now days. Mike John is the goofy nerdy down-to-earth guy that we all love and his movies seem to end up being trend setters. DVD of the Year: ---------------- Fashionistas is the DVD of the Year. Period. End of subject. The rest were fighting for runner-up. Guess you know how I voted.
