Since gay adult industry awards shows are just like Hollywood awards shows, only with lots more latex-wear and lady jeans, we thought we’d do a poll honoring some of the fashion choices we saw on the red carpet.
Before the GayVNs, we checked in with some industry insiders –a star, a director, a publicist, a studio head and a judge — for their predictions. Now that the lucite blocks have been handed out, we’re publishing more of what they had to say.
And, finally, wrapping up our exhaustive coverage of GayVN Weekend 2009, a gallery from the late-night portion of the shitshow, after all the awards had been handed out and after everyone had started their drinking and drugging.

Ricky Sinz, Brent Corrigan and Logan McCree were the big winners tonight, leaving the Castro Theatre ceremony with multiple awards each. And to nobody’s surprise, epic snuff film To the Last Man took home the Best Picture.
It was arguably as Oscar-ish as the gay porn Oscars have ever been tonight at the Castro Theatre, and The Sword was on the red carpet catching all the (mostly) clothed porn stars and hosts Margaret Cho and Alec Mapa on their way in (co-host Janice Dickinson eschewed photogs because we gather she’s developed an allergy to flashbulbs).
The Great GayVN Shitshow of ’09 began last night in the Castro with parties hosted by major porn studios all over the Castro in San Francisco.
