How important are the First Choice Awards given at our NightMoves Adult Awards Show in October? Obviously very important and that has been the case since we incorporated that category in 2005. The films selected for that award are those we feel will be major hits, but were released after our voting deadline. Since we incorporated the award dozens of First Choice winners have gone on to win a plethora of awards from AVN, XBIZ and XRCO. Some of those films include Pirates, Not The Bradys XXX, Spiderman XXX Parody, Speed, The New Behind the Green Door, Not the Wizard of Oz XXX and many more that all were major hits and award winners in many different categories. There is no question our First Choice award is taken very seriously by the companies and take great joy in receiving it because they know this special award is the first step in future success for their productions.

This year is no different. The XBIZ and AVN nominations were just announced last week. The four First Choice  award winners from our show this year were Unbridled, Bad Babes Inc., Justice League XXX An Axel Braun Parody and Submission of Emma Marx: Evolved. Those four films alone scored a whopping combined 97 award nominations from both XBIZ and AVN in a number of various categories. And that doesn’t even count some of the performer’s in these films individual award nominationss in other areas

We, at NightMoves, feel very honored to be the first to give these very worthy films their due several months before the other award shows take place. It continues to validate our place in the industry each year and just how much the various companies, directors, producers and performers think of the work we do with not only our annual awards show, but NightMoves Magazine and our two very popular websites AAN (All Adult Network) and NightMovesonline.com not to mention the incredible numbers we also get from Twitter and Instagram.

Congratulations to ALL the nominees from Paul, Tracy, myself and the rest of our NightMoves staff. We wish you all a very happy holiday season and the very best of luck in January when the winners are announced. I, for one, look forward to an even more spectacular 2018 from this great industry.
