Watch the 2018 AVN Awards Live on AVN.com

CHATSWORTH, Calif.—The AVN Awards ceremony has been through a lot of changes over the years, and now there’s another major development for the 2018 show. AVN Media Network announced today that AVN.com will host the livestream of the 2018 AVN Awards Show, sponsored by MyFreeCams. The 2018 AVN Awards Show is set to take place Saturday, January 27 inside the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Las Vegas. The livestream will begin at 9:30 p.m. Pacific Time on AVN.com.

“Streaming the AVN Awards is a dream come true,” said AVN CEO Tony Rios. “Fans of adult entertainment already follow the awards online via social media, and this livestream will provide an even deeper connection to their favorite performers. We believe this step is a great way to increase the reach of adult stars around the globe.”

Aside from watching to find out this year’s winners, online viewers will also get to enjoy the host comedian, Aries Spears, and the musical act, Grammy Award-winning artist Lil Wayne.

A stand-up comedian and actor from New York City, Spears was a regular on Fox's sketch comedy series MADtv, and he is known for his many spot-on celebrity impersonations (will he do Lil Wayne?). His 2011 stand-up comedy special, Aries Spears: Hollywood, Look I'm Smiling, aired on Showtime.

Lil Wayne has been a landmark artist throughout his career, holding the record for the most entries on the Billboard Hot 100 charts by a male solo artist. His most recent studio album, I Am Not a Human Being II, was released in 2013 and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 charts. Last year, Wayne released FWA (Free Weezy Album) exclusively on Tidal, where it was streamed a staggering ten million times within the first seven days alone. And just last month he released a new mixtape, Dedication 6.

On top of that, some of the brightest adult stars will shine on the AVN Awards stage, starting with co-hosts Angela White and Harli Lotts. They’ll be joined by trophy girls Ayumi Anime and Sofi Ryan and an all-star cast of award presenters.

A ticket to the AVN Awards is a highly sought-after commodity—and now, it’s within reach of those in the industry who are unable to travel to Las Vegas, as well as to fans around the world. So mark your calendar and be prepared to enjoy the premier event in adult entertainment in the comfort of your own home!
