Notes
................................................................................
Star of Year
................................................................................
     Hillary Scott won last year's CAVR Newbie of Year and has had
       an even more spectacular 2nd year. In fact, she has been
       elevated to number 1 on CAVR list of Top 3 Stars!
       I think her best performance of year was in Britney Rears 3.

       Jenna Haze had a spectacular return and is my Star of Year runner-up
       pick.
................................................................................
Starlet (Rookie) of Year
................................................................................
     Naomi is the clear cut choice for Starlet of Year. She is
       everywhere and has went from a niave big booty big gal
       to a slim gal with kinda big booty who does it all!

       Sasha Grey with all her hotness & cuteness is my
         Starlet of Year runner-up pick.
................................................................................
MVP of Year
................................................................................
     Carmen Hart is my surprise pick for MVP. This is limited
       to Contract performers. She is a superstar in the making.
       It is great to see a fresh face on this list.

       Carmen Luvana had a good year and continues to
         shine and is a real fan favorite. She is my pick
         for MVP runner-up.

       Stormy Daniels had a good year, but not a lot of
         performances. She has a nice touch to her writing
         and directing skills.
     
       Jesse Jane and Teagan Presley had good years, but too many
         of their performances were in movies that had no live audio.
         
       Courtney Cummz is the 'wild' gal of the bunch and
         has a huge following. She is great at in-store
         signings, a real crowd pleaser.

       Shay Jordan is the newest of the new MVP's and she will
         be a strong competitor for 2007.
................................................................................
MILF of Year
................................................................................
     This is new for 2006. MILF movies are everywhere! My
       definition of a MILF is a woman who is at least
       32 years old, probably is a mother and who has not
       appeared in 1,000's of movies.

       MILF is a woman that I want to 'be with'. MILF is
       that the older woman you see at the Mall and you think,
       YES!

       Some of the really hot Porn Star MILFs such as
       Tiffany Mynx, Vicky Vette & Francesca Le' are not included.

       Kristal Summers is my surprise pick! She is flat out hot!
         She is one of the most under-appreciated Porn Stars!

       Marie Dawn represents the thousands of hot middle-aged
         amateur/website ladies that know how to really get
         down! Marie is my MILF of Year runner-up pick.
................................................................................
Directors
................................................................................
     Stormy Daniels is very good actress who has made the
       transition to Features Director. Her stories are all
       realistic life happenings with just the right blend
       of sex and fun that couples love. Her BTS are also
       pretty good. She has a great comedic touch.

     Bobby Rinadi is a very good Director that does not get
       his just due. He does the hardest sex scenes that
       are choke-free and very strokeable. And, very innovative
       with new series being added all the time to round out
       his great gonzo series Screw My Wife!

     The Coach seems to have alot of fun as BTS director.
       He gets the most out of gals and is never boring. The gals
       like The Coach and end up telling interesting stories
       about themselves.

     Jules Jordan is today's unquestioned Best Director. He
       is recognized as the best by all. What a brillant move
       to bring Jenna Haze back and with such a powerful
       movie, Jenna Haze Darkside DVD. Thank you JJ.
      
     John Stagliano has been elevated to number 1 in my all-time
       list. I have always considered Bruce Seven as the best.
       I only update this list every 5 years and Buttman moves
       ahead of Bruce because of Fashionistas (Best of All-Time?)
       Details

Misc.
................................................................................
     Jenna Haze is my choice for best Movie Performance of Year.
       Talk about making a comeback from les only performances.
       She is flat out hot! Jenna is in every scene and does it all.
       Welcome back! Jenna Haze Dark Side DVD is a must have!
       
     Kylie Ireland is the hands down (or in) choice for kinkiest
       Scene of Year. No matter what you think of Corruption, 
       Kylie steals the show with her double fisting antics! Yes,
       a Hall-of-Famer doing fisting!

     Sandra Romain is the hottest Performer of Year and is
       also one of the most active gals in the business! She
       was the most CAVR reviewed gal for 2006!

     Lisa Ann is my choice for Comeback of Year. This MILF has
       returned with a vengenace and is hot than ever!

     Jada Fire is flat out outrageous in her Behind the Scenes
       antics. She is always hot during her scenes, but she
       seems to have even more fun in the BTS.

     Marianne is my choice for Make-Up Artist of Year. It can
       only go to the hot redhead that goes by the name of
       Marianne. But to me, she will always be known as the
       Hall-of-Famer Kelly Nichols!

DVD of Year
................................................................................
     Feature of Year       Britney Rears 3.
                             Britney Rears 3 is the best Feature DVD
                             I saw this year. Hillary Scott and
                             Will Rider did very good jobs!

                             Note: The top 3 critics choices and fan
                             favorites (Corruption, Island Fever 4
                             and Fashionistas Safado) did not rate
                             9.00 or better.

     Gonzo of Year         No pick.
                             Jenna Haze Dark Side is the best Gonzo DVD
                             I saw this year. It did not rate a 9.00
                             or better.

                             The Gonzo releases are in a downward
                             spiral and mired in Degradation of
                             Women mediocrity!


     HD DVD of Year        Camp Cuddly Pines.
                             It might be the only HD DVD release,
                             but I wanted to recognize the importance
                             of this new format.

                             I did review a few 'R' rated
                             HD DVD releases, but none of
                             them rated a 9.00 or better.

                             DP has ads in AVN for HD DVDs,
                             but still has not released any.

Points
................................................................................
     *                     Brandon Iron won Director/Performer.
                           He has a real feel for the Gonzo
                           genre and is quite a good performer.

                           Lethal Hardcore won Best Studio.
                           Stoney Curtis released a lot of
                           movies this year and his company
                           wins this based upon points.

Hall of Fame          Dave Cummings.
                        Congrats to Gentleman Dave Cummings being
                        elected into AVNs Hall-of-Fame. Well deserved!

Fan Voting            Den.
                        It takes up so much time to do the ballot and
                        allow the fans to vote.

                        Last years nominations were a
                        total diaster, especially the
                        Director's category.

                        And, in the voting, a Porn Star
                        actually offered to give away
                        free autographed t-shirts if
                        you voted for her and she won!
                          And to top things off, 2 of
                          the ladies did not want
                          their trophies. 

                        I had decided to just drop the
                        CAVR awards all together, but was
                        talked into at least doing a
                        Critics Choice awards.

                        Some of my picks are very
                        predictable and some of my
                        picks are unconventional,
                        but they are truly my picks!

                        Let's get back to making good
                        Porn and making 2007 the best
                        year ever!

                        Remember, it's all about the Gals,
                        the Gals, the Gals! Let's bring
                        back love, respect and flat out
                        adoration for the Gals!
