HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Ariel Demure made “a historic showing at the 2025 AVN Awards, offering a speech accepting the honor of Best Trans Acting Performance,” a representative said.
“Although last year was a big studio year for Demure, she also worked on a massive project, which received multiple 2025 AVN Awards nominations and wins,” they added.
The project, a joint venture with the Ten15 Group titled Gorgons & Goddesses, won Best Trans Acting Performance. At the night’s end, Demure also learned she had won a second AVN Award for Best Trans Group Sex Scene for the same scene.
“Last year, I said I wanted to do more acting, and in 2024, I made it a reality. This was one of my best roles, and I’m honored to have won the award for it. I’m also glad the scene won Best Trans Group Sex Scene, so all the girls got to take home a trophy, too. Thank you so much, AVN,” said Demure.
Following the AVN Awards, Demure was nominated for 11 Trans Erotica Awards (TEAs).
She has been nominated for Best Hardcore Performer.
Demure also earned five nominations for scene work. Two nods are in the Best Girl/Girl Scene category for TGirls.Porn’s Happy Fucking Christmas! with Lola Morena, as well as Adult Time’s Transfixed Sausage & Biscuits, with Hazel Moore.
Demure also is nominated for Best Boy/Girl Scene for Transfixed’s Good Lap Dances Make Good Neighbors with Roman Todd.
Demure received two nominations for Best Threesome/Moresome Scene for Gorgons & Goddesses with Izzy Wilde, Kasey Kei, Tori Easton, Foxxy, Jade Venus, Emma Rose, Brittney Kade, Khloe Kay, Leilani Li, and Eva Maxim; and GenderX’s Trans Honey Trap 3 Scene 1 with Leilani Li and Lindsey Lakes.
Ariel also starred in five DVDs nominated for the Best DVD honor: Devil’s Film’s A Welcome Sight; Adult Time’s Oopsie: For Better or Worse; Grooby’s TGirls Porn Vol. 37; and GenderX’s Gilligan’s Trans Adventures and Trans Honey Trap 3.
“Last year was for studio work and my own projects. I was lucky to have them but even more fortunate to be nominated for many of them. Thank you so much, Steven, Kristel, and everyone at the TEAs, for everything you do,” says Demure.
The TEAs will be held on Sunday, March 9, at the Avalon in Hollywood, California.
