The GayVN Awards are film awards presented annually to honor work done in the gay pornographic industry. The awards were sponsored by AVN Magazine , the parent publication of GAYVN Magazine , and continue the recognition for gay pornography which was part of the AVN Awards from 1986–1998. The awards went on a hiatus after the 2011 ceremony and returned in 2018.[ 1] [ 2]
The award recipients are listed below by the year of the award ceremony. In 1998, the first year of the awards, awards were given for that current year's work. Starting with the awards show held in 2000, the awards were given for the previous year's work. For example, the 8th GAYVN Awards were held Thursday, March 9, 2006; awards were given for the movies that were released in 2005. The awards have been held annually since 2000. The current record-holder for the most wins in one year is Lucas Entertainment 's Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita (2006), which won 14 awards in 2007.[ 3] The previous record-holder with 11 award wins in 2005 was Buckshot Productions ' BuckleRoos .[ 3]
Winners from the 1998 GayVN Awards held December 4, 1998, at the Westin Bonaventure, Los Angeles, California, as published in Choices: The 1999 AVN Awards Show official program:[ 4]
