8th Annual GayVN Awards
Nominations

The nominations for the 8th Annual GayVN Awards were announced recently with much of the same pomp and fanfare demonstrated for many mainstream awards shows this year. Among the usually-nominated top studios that we're all familiar with, there are also a good number of first-time nominees and new studios for whom a GayVN could really put them on the industry map. RAD Video congratulates all the GayVN nominees, and we invite you to peruse the list of this year's movers and shakers.

The award ceremony, to be hosted by Chi Chi LaRue, will take place on Thursday, March 9, at the RAGE nightclub in West Hollywood. As list of the winners are posted here.
