Vixen Media Group Wins Big with 21 AVN Awards

LOS ANGELES—Vixen Media Group (VMG) and its premier production studios Vixen, Blacked, Tushy, and Deeper were recognized with 21 AVN Awards for the 2021 season.
 
Deeper earned 13 gold statuettes for excellence this year, seven in particular for Muse, helmed by director Kayden Kross, who won three awards for Best Directing - Drama, Best Screenplay - Drama, and Director of the Year. Muse also scored trophies for Best Art Direction, Best Editing, Best Three-Way Sex Scene – G/G/B, Grand Reel, and Best Leading Actress for Maitland Ward.
 
Mistress Maitland picked up three awards for Best BDSM Movie or Anthology, Best Boy/Girl Sex Scene, and Best Cinematography; Excess won an AVN Award for Best Group Sex Movie or Anthology and Dance for Me won Best Episodic Movie or Anthology and Best Solo/Tease Performance for star Vanna Bardot.
 
“I have been amazed at how much talent showed up for our brands this year,” said Kayden Kross. “Nothing happens in a vacuum, and we are here because we do our best to nurture our relationships with the best talent, the best crew, and the best people behind the scenes. We work with people who could be anywhere, but they choose to work with us and they give us their best and it shows in our product," continued Kross. "I can’t thank the people who went above and beyond, even in a year when most could have chosen to stay home. I’d also like to give a special thank you to Maitland, who constantly inspires me with these grand projects and who was the reason I pushed myself and refused to go small on Muse."
 
VMG also notched two wins with Best Directing – Site/Network Content for Julia Grandi and Laurent Sky, as well as Mainstream Venture of the Year for the G-Eazy music videos Still Be Friends and Moana, which featured many of the studios’ top performers.
 
Vixen won two awards for Young Fantasies 5: Best Ingénue Movie or Anthology and Best Foreign-Shot Group Sex Scene featuring Naomi Swann, Talia Mint and Alberto Blanco.
 
Tushy received four AVN trophies: Best Anal Movie or Anthology for The Art of Anal Sex 11, Best Anal Series or Site for Anal Angels, Best Foreign-Shot Anal Sex Scene for Young Tushy and Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene for Influence: Elsa Jean.
 
In addition, VMG Exclusive Director Derek Dozer, who directed or co-directed three of Tushy’s award-winning films this year, was also inducted into the prestigious AVN Hall of Fame for his contributions as a highly-respected and in-demand filmmaker over the past two decades.
 
"During my 23 years in the business, I've made it a point to treat everyone with the respect and dignity that they deserve while trying to make their experiences as fun and memorable as possible,” said Dozer. "I have made some lifelong friends along the way and I couldn't be more grateful. It's a true honor to be officially inducted into the Hall Of Fame! Thank you, AVN!"
