TAMPA, Fla.—The 22nd Annual NightMoves Awards winners were announced Sunday, Oct. 12, in a ceremony hosted by adult superstars Ron Jeremy and Sunny Lane. Along with perennial emcee favorite Tony Batman and co-emcee Kamden T. Rage, the Tampa Gold Club was packed with fans and stars alike to celebrate the cream of the adult entertainment crop until the early morning hours.
NightMoves Awards, started in 1993, is the third oldest and continuously running adult awards show in the United States, trailing only the AVN Awards and the XRCO Awards. The NightMoves Awards were the first to allow fans to select the winners, making it the original fan-based awards, as well as the first awards show to allow online voting. In addition to the Fan Awards, the show presents Editor’s Choice awards based on reviews of DVDs in which the nominated performer has appeared.
Tracy Allen, editor of NightMoves Magazine and co-producer of the NightMoves Awards, said, “What a great week! We had record numbers show up for the Star Caravan events. The clubs were happy, the girls were happy, and the FANS were happy – and that’s what counts!”
