And the Nominees are

This is my take on the 2007 GAYvn Awards NOMINEES Part one. It looks like gay porn is going mainstream. With Kathy Griffen hosting the Gayvn awards in San Francisco at the Famous Castro Theatre. I guess she is really a friend of the Gay's.Who knew.
Maybe I need to get a life because as you can see I have watched a lot of Porn this year. You would think I was getting paid to do it. Such is not the case. I watch it because I am doing my thesis on the gay male. Yeah right! You say, well it could be true. So on with my critique. We begin with the best "actor" nominations.

BEST ACTOR
Shane Collins - Doggie Style (Jet Set Productions)
I saw this movie and found his character a little stiff and just a tad bit boring but he does look good and he has a big cock.
Michael Lucas - Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita (Lucas Entertainment)
Ah Michael Lucas, He was alright but he seems so full of him self that it is just a little distracting.
Erik Rhodes - The Velvet Mafia 1-2 (Falcon Studios)
While he is quite the beefcake he was topped by super twink Fox (Brent Corrigan) Ryder in this flick. It might disturb some of his fans but the scene was hot.
Danny Roddick - Boot Black Blues (Buckshot Productions)
Danny Roddick actually makes you care for his character in this. The scene with him and Josh Weston was oh so hot.
Shane Rollins - Justice (Hot House Video)
I just have one thing to say. You better work bitch. He was hot, oh yeah he was hot. He has a remarkable ass. So round and inviting.
Cole Ryan - The Chest (Titan Media)
I did not see this one, maybe later on I will, but Cole Ryan is hot.
Eddie Stone - 2nd Inning (Electro Video)
Eddie Stone was quite hilarious with his over the top performance in this vid. His sex scene on the bus was hot. It made we want to get on that bus too.
Colby Taylor - Big Rig (Buckshot Productions)
Colby Colby Colby I always thought he was hot in a guy next door kind of way. He was so sexy in the scene with Gus Mattox. The chemistry was on fire.
Derrick Vinyard - From Top to Bottom (Falcon Studios)
Well I will just say this I do not like Jason Adonis. But Derrick Vineyard was good considering who he had to work with.
Justin Wells - Booty Thief (Arena Entertainment)
I did not See this one.

BEST ACTOR - FOREIGN RELEASE

Chris Steele - The Velvet Mafia 1-2 (Falcon Studios) Great Idea to use Brent Corrigan in a topical story. Art imitates life literally. It was little over the top but well directed in a kind of tounge and cheek way.
Chris Ward, Ben Leon - Lords of the Jungle (Raging Stallion Studios)
I still have not seen this one.
Kristofer Weston - Boot Black Blues (Buckshot Productions)
Well done I enjoyed this one, a lot.

With all the turmoil in the gay porn industry that there seems to be lately they are churning out product like there is no tomorrow. Some good, some not. I also might add that it is starting to become a real killer industry. Seriously.

Well till we chat again this is Elmysterio signing off.
