GayVN AWARDS: AND THE NOMINEES ARE…

The nominees are in for the 2000 GayVN Awards, honoring the best in gay porn for 1999, with some eyes falling on four performers in particular - Blake Harper, Thomas Lloyd, Spike, and Kurt Young nominated for both Best Actor and Gay Performer of the Year honors.

They're four of ten nominees for Best Actor - Harper for his performance in Animus, Lloyd for Endless Pursuit, Spike for Spiked, and Young for Sodom. The other Best Actor nominees are Rick Chase (Dream Team), Joe Landon (The Apprentice), Tommy Lord (Cuffed!), Leo Lyons (Tales From The Foxhole), Chris Steele (Steele Ranger), and Grant Wood (Late Nite Porn). Lloyd is also a Best Supporting Actor nominee for his turn in Animus.

Animus, Dream Team, Late Nite Porn, and Sodom are also nominees for Best Gay Video and Best Screenplay.

The GayVN Awards ceremonies will be March 10 at 7:30 p.m. at the Universal Hilton Hotel in Hollywood, with several of gay porn's biggest names scheduled to appear.
