HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Last Thursday, November 17, AVN released this year's nominees for the coveted AVN Awards to be held in January 2017 in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Casino. As the names and categories were announced to a star-filled gala party, one thing quickly became clear: how many of Nexxxt Level Talent Agency clients had been recognized, not only with multiple award nominations for individual achievements, but also for the movies they starred in receiving multiple nominations in various “Best Of” categories.
Every client on the Nexxxt Level roster either received an individual nomination or starred in a movie that received a “Best Of” nomination, an accomplishment that no other agency can claim. A complete list of award nominees can be found here. Some of the standout Nexxxt Level stars include Lyra Law, Kenzie Taylor, Harley Jade, Brandi Love, Katie Morgan, Lucas Frost, Cassidy Klein, Kleio Valentien, Edyn Blair, Charlotte Cross and Britney Amber. In all, Nexxxt Level clients received 20 individual nominations and starred in 54 nominated “Best Of” productions.
Kleio Valentien had another breakout year and was recognized with Best Three-Way Scene, Best All-Girl Group Scene and Best Actress for her portrayal as Harley Quinn in Axel Braun’s Suicide Squad XXX. Kleio won Best Supporting Actress at last year’s AVN Award Show for her portrayal of Harley Quinn in Axel Braun’s Batman vs Superman XXX.
“Playing Harley Quinn has been the role of a lifetime and I can't thank Axel Braun enough for believing in me for this part," Kleio said of last year's win, "and I’m so happy that this character is being so well received by all the fans and critics alike.”
Veteran actress and Nexxxt Level star Britney Amber received two nominations, for Best Supporting Actress and Best Group Sex Scene.
“I'm so excited to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress for my role as Sarah Palin!" exclaimed the blonde beauty. "She was by far my favorite character to play! The director Steve Matthews let me have free range with her character and the dialogue which allowed me to really get into the role. Also Ginger Orgy, directed by Mike Quasar, turned out so great because it was so much fun! Especially because most the girls were my Nexxxt Level sisters."
Also recognized with a Best Supporting Actress nomination is Katie Morgan, who stated, “I am equally thrilled to not only be nominated personally for Best Supporting Actress, but to have been a part of six other movies that received 'Best of' movie nominations as well."
The "Cutie with The Booty," Harley Jade, shared her assets with some new technology and was recognized with a Best Virtual Reality Sex Scene nomination.
“Working with Alexa and Chad was such a great experience," she said. "We had so much fun on set that day and I'm both excited and honored to see that we're being recognized with a nomination from AVN. Thank you so much.”
Blond beauty Kenzie Taylor earned a Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene nomination and is looking forward to hearing the results.
“It’s an honor to be nominated!" she exclaimed. "I was so happy when AJ Applegate asked me to be a part of her showcase and this scene with AJ, Karlie and myself was so much fun to film! They are both amazing performers and crossing my fingers we win this award in January."
Brand new male performer Lucas Frost grabbed nominations for both Best Virtual Reality Sex Scene and the coveted Best Male Newcomer awards.
“It's an honor to be noticed for my work within my first year in the industry,” said Frost about the recognition.
Cassidy Klein, another popular Nexxxt Level actress, had one of this year’s biggest breakout roles as Little Red in Girlsway's multi-nominated all-girl feature Little Red: Lesbian Fairy Tale.
“I’ve worked so hard this year and it's an amazing feeling when that hard work and effort is recognized," Cassidy said upon hearing of her nomination. "Thank you AVN for my Best Actress nomination. I'm so very honored. I am nothing without my fans, my agents and Lucas Frost.”
Brandi Love, one of the most downloaded MILF performers ever, has been nominated eight years in a row for the coveted MILF Performer of the Year honor, but her trophy shelf still sits empty. Could 2017 be the year that this star gets to shine bright on the biggest stage?
"There has been one award that has eluded me for years, that of MILF Performer of the Year," Brandi sighed. "I hope this is the year I can bring home the gold for me and all my fans.”
“Both Jonathan [Morgan] and I are very excited to see how much of an impact our clients have made on this industry," reflected XXX veteran director Andre Madness about his and Morgan's now two year old agency, "and we hope that we can continue to help them continue this in the distant future as well.”
The winners of the 2017 AVN Awards will be announced at the stat studded gala in Las Vegas, Nevada in January 21, 2017. For tickets and information, click here.
