MIAMI — Miami native Angelina Castro has won her first ever AVN Award. Castro was named Favorite BBW at the 2018 AVN Awards in the fan voting portion of the awards. It is the first time the Favorite BBW category has been decided by fan vote.
Castro is an industry veteran who got her start in the industry in 2006. She is active in mainstream, having been the first adult star to ever make a morning appearance on Telemundo and co-host a popular talk show SOS (Sex or Sexy) on Miratv.tv. In 2012, she made headlines as part of the #TeamBJ Twitter sensation with Sara Jay (pledging to give followers oral sex if the Miami Heat won the NBA title). Appearances included the Russell Brand show and a mention on CNN. Castro almost exclusively shoots for her official site, which is part of Vicky Vette's VNA Girls Network along with stars Julia Ann, Penny Pax, Nikki Benz, Puma Swede, Sunny Lane, Jelena Jensen and Sara Jay. On social media, Castro just hit 725,000 followers on her Instagram.
Castro said, "My phone started blowing up at three in the morning with girls texting congratulations! I couldn't believe it. I honestly in my wildest imagination didn't think I was going to win an award this year. I've been in adult for over a decade and it is my first AVN Award. I can't thank the fans who voted for me and of course AVN! Thank you! Fans make it possible for me to stay in this business and I couldn't be happier! I can't wait to get my award in the mail!"
