CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network announced the winners of its third annual VOD Awards on Friday.
The awards honor movies, studios and performers in straight and gay adult film. The winners were chosen based on the number of minutes viewed through AEBN's video-on-demand theaters.
Among this year's big winners are Gianna Michaels (Female Performer of the Year), Ashlynn Brooke (Best Newcomer) and Red Light District (Studio of the Year).
"I was honestly and genuinely surprised," Brooke told AVN Online. "I was very humbled that the people there actually considered me. I am very honored. It's the first award I have ever won."
AEBN v.p. of sales and marketing Jerry Anders said the awards featured "many pleasant surprises."
"A lot of people were taken [aback] by the announced winners, yet everyone knows that it's the fans' choices, not ours," he said. "There is no politics involved. We just calculate who gets the most traffic. We are excited about this year's results."
