LOS ANGELES—The appearance of the AVN Awards on premium cable is an annual event enjoyed for industry folks and porn fans around the globe, and the first airing of the 2016 AVN Awards, as hosted by Anikka Albrite and Joanna Angel, will be Friday, June 24 at 8 p.m. PST.
It was a huge night for Anikka, not only for her hosting, but also for awards won by herself and husband Mick Blue. They shared the award for Best Three-Way Sex Scene – Girl/Girl/Boy along with Valentina Nappi for Anikka’s Anal Sluts, the first award for Mick, Anikka and Maestro Claudio’s BAM Visions studio. Mick also won his second Male Performer of the Year trophy in as many years.
Anikka also won Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene. She took home Female Performer of the Year at the 2015 AVN Awards.
“It was one of the most special nights of my life for so many reasons,” Anikka said. “That AVN thought I was worthy of hosting was huge, such an honor. And to be able to be there when Mick won Performer of the Year again, these are moments I will never, ever forget.”
One of the night’s highlights, Anikka and Joanna performing the original song “That’s What Porn Is All About,” will not be shown in the broadcast because it was deemed too hot for TV, but can be seen here.
“I was so excited to perform an original song alongside Joanna Angel at the opening of the AVN Awards ceremony,” Anikka said. “Joanna even wrote the rap part of it! This awards show has been my favorite yet because it seemed that our industry came together as a whole and everyone walked away happy that night, regardless if they won an award or not. It was one of the coolest things I have ever been asked to be a part of, and I am so thankful to AVN. The song was unfortunately cut out of the [broadcast] version, but our fans can still see the song in all its hilarious glory on Funny or Die.”
Anikka will be among those featured in the marketing campaign for the 2017 AVN Show.
