Skow proved the most prolific, turning out a dozen titles that received nods, including the controversial drama Daddy’s Girls. But, Brad Armstrong led the pack with 17 noms for Underworld, an original fantasy-based feature for Wicked Pictures.

“My heartiest congratulations go out to all of this year’s nominees, and I look forward to seeing everyone on the big night next month to celebrate with you in person,” AVN Senior Editor Peter Warren said. “Our committee really worked to the bone to assemble these nominations, and it’s as much an honor for us to bestow them as I hope it is for all those who’ve received one.”
