When does AVN Awards return?

The AVN Awards are film awards sponsored and presented by the American adult video industry trade magazine AVN (Adult Video News) to recognize achievement in various aspects of the creation and marketing of American pornographic films. The awards are divided into over 100 categories, some of which are analogous to industry awards offered in other film and video genres and others that are specific to pornographic/erotic film/video. The ceremony occurs in early January during the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. Awards for gay adult video were a part of the 1987 ceremony through 1998.
