Here's a mini update as the awards have just concluded. There was some drama! And then, there were some awards given out, and then more awards, and more, and more, and...
The big winners of the night were Raging Stallion's epic To The Last Man (along with Lead Actor Ricky Sinz), which won Best Film, and Brent Corrigan, who took home three awards: Best Bottom, Best Pro/Am Film (Brent Corrigan's Summit), and Best Twink Film (Just The Sex).
Dean Phoenix gave a tearful, sincere acceptance speech upon receipt of his Lifetime Achievement Award, and Chi Chi LaRue sent in a taped speech for her Trailblazer Award win, as she's currently filming in Australia. Barrett Long won for Best Cum-Shot (much deserved), and ChaosMen won Best Amateur Website (also much deserved). Towards the end, Margaret Cho sang a cute song she'd written about Ricky Sinz' 9-inch cock, but we would've liked to see more of her. Alec Mapa, who opened the show, was similarly hilarious, and we could've used more of him too.
The big losers of the night were Janice Dickinson (being high on stage is a gimmick that only works for about 15 seconds), and definitely Michael Lucas, for storming the stage after an anti-child porn message. Before anyone could cut his mic or escort him offstage, Lucas ran up and shouted "shame on you" to the GayVNs for honoring Brent Corrigan, who started doing porn when he was 17. This feigned outrage from Lucas fell incredibly flat, and he was met with resounding boos. Yes, it was classless, but what else would you expect from someone who releases a movie called Farts and thinks it's "edgy"?
The full Twitter stream of the night, with all the winners, is here. And now, we drink.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I would have to stand by Michael Lucas for shaming the GayVN for honoring someone who started porn at 17. My partner of 9 yrs is sitting in jail because of someone who lied about his age and had a fake id, just so my bf would take photos so this kid could break into "modeling" (which he is doing online porn sites now). None of the photos showed the guy nude, he was shirtless and in his underware and the US Goverment defines that as child porn. So it is a BIG DEAL when someone is underage doing porn and/or modeling and I don't believe somone like Brent Corrigan should be honored for doing that.

First, just to let you know, a 17 year old who is seduced to faking his ID is not the criminal but the victim, read the folowing post http://dewayneinsd.blogspot.com/2009/03/st-bryan-of-luzerne-county.html and then repeat what you said.
Scond: BC was honoured for work he did when he was 22, maybe 21. Or are you advokating unforgiving life long exclusion of people from any success and recognition for any mistike they committd when they were teens? I hope you would also apply that to yourselves.
