TAMPA, FL—Adult stars and feature entertainers flew into Tampa Bay from across the country to take part in the 26th annual NightMoves Awards this past weekend. All in all, there were 17 local Tampa Bay Awards handed out ranging from Best Club to Best Dancer to Best DJ to Best Bartender. Nationally, there were 27 categories where nominees could win a fan-voted award, an Editor's Choice award—or both. These included Best Performer, Best New Starlet, Best Director, Best Feature Release, Best Body, Best Feature Dancer, and many others.
The awards show itself featured ten acts beginning with live music from national recording artists Jeff Vitolo & The Quarter Mile Rebels. The national anthem was performed by Michael Caruso, who has sung at numerous NFL, NBA, and MLB stadiums. The performer-dominated stage acts included performances by Lauren Phillips, Janine Jericho, Christiana Cinn, Kagney Lynn Karter, Adriana Chechik, Natasha Nova, Katie Sutra, Flynt Dominick and the Kings of Desire Male Review.
"This was by far the best Awards Show we have ever produced in 26 years. The stars that flew into Tampa Bay were amazing and the stage acts were simply fantastic! It was really something, seeing all the talent we had on our stage … fire acts, acrobatics, swinging hoops, beautiful costumes, rappers and of course the male dance review that had the girls screaming … It was one hell of an evening. Check out our Instagram page for tons of photos and videos (#NightMovesAwards),” said Paul Allen, NightMoves multimedia president.
