The list of nominees is available at VODAwards.com.
Since 2006 AEBN has calculated the most popular films and stars of the year — based on viewing habits of the millions who visit the company's network of VOD theaters — and celebrated those winners with the VOD Awards. Nominations are based on per-minute sales in the theaters during the calendar year, decided upon with a precise, in-house accounting system.
The awards cover a wide range of genres and include recognitions for the Performer of the Year and Best Newcomer. Special honors are also given for Lifetime Achievement and Studio of the Year.
To reflect recent trends in the adult industry, AEBN has added several new categories to this year's awards, including Lesbian and Best Series.
"Fans look forward to the VOD Awards every year," said Jerry Anders, VP of sales and marketing for AEBN. "It is great to take the time to highlight the films and stars that have performed well for the past twelve months. They deserve the recognition of being the most watched titles in our entire VOD network."
Winners will be announced by AEBN in early 2011.
