Now that all of the 2012 Swordies have been handed out, it’s time for one last extra special “mega Swordie,” and it’s the most important Swordie of all: The Sword’s 2012 Gay Porn Person of the Year. Here are the nominees.
The nominees for The Sword’s 2012 Gay Porn Person of the Year are:
Chris Tyler (Box Cover of the Year)
Trenton Ducati (Need You Inside Me of the Year)
Anthony Romero (Homemade Video of the Year; Blog of the Year)
Troy Daniels (Luckiest Bitch of the Year)
Sean Cody’s Jarek (Sean Cody Model of the Year)
Bryan Cole (Newcomer of the Year)
Johnny Rapid (Face of the Year; Couple of the Year—shared with Nightstick)
Naughty Laura (Tweet of the Year)

Tommy Defendi (Best Face/Cock)
Christian Wilde (Best Person)
Sebastian Young (Best Mugshots)
Cody Cummings (Most Controversial)
Mick Lovell (Most Beloved)
Conner Habib & Colby Keller (Most Intellectual)
Photoshop (Most Powerful)
As you can see, the first 13 nominations are previously announced Swordies winners. Their prior award wins make them automatic nominees. The last 7 nominations (and the titles I just made up for them right now) are for performers whose gay porn presence in 2012—for better or worse—was too big and too influential to leave off of any list. So, there you have it. The 20 most important people in gay porn for 2012.
But who will receive the highest honor and the ultimate title of The Sword’s 2012 Gay Porn Person of the Year? Vote below. The winner will be announced in a special ceremony (a blog post) shortly after voting ends on December 23rd at midnight. Choose wisely! This is the most important decision of your lifetime.
vote for Anthony~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~“
Though not included on the list, I would like to formally nominate and vote for two of my absolutely favorite performers – Cristobol (from Papithugz) and Cayden Ross (Randy Blue). I understand the desire to see J.E. Naughtin included on this list, but frankly it is still a bit too soon for me.
Of course I voted for Mick Lovell! Gorgeous face and great muscular body. Ten star-performer when bottoming!!
Sean Cody’s Jarek. I love the blonde dye job and he does bareback porn with internal cumshots… my favorite kind of porn.
This should go to Erik.
anyone not white?
I’m really surprised that Austin and Anthony have both taken the lead considering how much people have bitched and whined about the two of them the whole year, yet Trenton Ducati, who has had mostly praises from the majority of people on here, is not even that close.
I’m fine with either of the 3 winning, but I wish I could now put my vote towards Trenton :)
Love Bryan Cole, and Anthony Romero and even tho you said we could not write someone in…the vote should goto Erik Rhodes hands down.
Is it so wrong to take this seriously?
Colby Keller gets my vote for just being Colby.
WTF ……now it’s there. NEVER MIND
The poll has disappeared. I suspected shenanigans when both Anthony and Austin were leading …. Hmmmmmmmmmm
How the hell DUNCAN BLACK didn’t get into the list? Ok, I’m voting for his equally cute and sexy fuck buddy!
DUCATI. consider his body of work this year… no one comes close.
Where am I ?? I’m a gay porn person, aren’t I ???
Voted for Mick Lovell. Just for you, Zach. I want an invite to the wedding.
Photoshop should get the Mega Swordie and then make it even bigger.
Bryan Cole, gotta love boys from the Buckeye state!
Erik Rhodes
He should definitely be on there!
I understand the desire to see him on the list, I enjoyed J.E. Naughtin quite a bit too, but do you want to include him because because he passed away and you feel this would be a fitting tribute, or because you truly believe that he made noteworthy contributions to the industry this year, more so than any other performer listed? Though I acknowledge my bias, I cannot say that the latter is the case without true reservation. Nevertheless, I am glad that there are some like you that remember him fondly for who he really was and not for his performances – past or present.
Paddy O’Brian
Nope.
Colby Jansen
There’s no write-in nominees. Sorry.
