Comedian Dave Attell cohosted the 27th annual awards show with September 2008 Pet Kayden Kross and starlet Kirsten Price. Attell was in fine form and got rave reviews from attendees. The comic’s best moment, in our humble opinion, was his description of what he would say if asked to remove a performer’s anal beads: “And the winning Powerball numbers are.…” For her part, Kayden tells us, “It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Being in the audience is a rush as it is, especially when you’re nominated, but hosting was a whole new level of amazing!”

The night was full of the kind of entertaining patter other awards shows can only dream of. Before the nominees for Female Performer of the Year were read, presenter Evan Stone said, “There are 15 nominees for Female Performer—15!—and I’ve fucked all of them!” His copresenter, Joanna Angel, quickly replied, “Oh yeah? Me too!”

Penthouse Pets were the night’s biggest winners, with more than a dozen awards, including some of the event’s top honors. Among them: July 2007 Pet Sasha Grey, who won Best Anal Sex Scene and Best Oral Sex Scene, was also the Jenna Jameson Crossover Star of the Year; June 2009 Pet Kagney Linn Karter won Best New Starlet; 2009 Pet of the Year Runner-Up Shawna Leneé was Unsung Starlet of the Year; 2003 Pet of the Year Sunny Leone took home Web Starlet of the Year; and Penthouse model Lexi Belle won Best New Web Starlet.

But Tori Black, our December 2008 Pet of the Month, stole the show. Tori was named Female Performer of the Year and honored with six other awards: Best Tease Performance; Best Gonzo Release, Tori Black Is Pretty Filthy; Best Interactive DVD, Interactive Sex With Tori Black; Best All-Girl Couples Sex Scene, with Lexi Belle; Best All-Girl Threeway Sex Scene, with Poppy Morgan and March 2008 Pet Bree Olson; and Best Threeway Sex Scene, with Mark Ashley and March 2009 Pet Rebeca Linares. Our favorite post ceremony quote from Tori came to us via Twitter: “Holy shit. Just got home from Vegas, relaxing in bed wondering WTF just happened?!? Thanks to the AVN Awards I need a new shelf!”

“Winning is the most amazing feeling,” Sunny Leone told us. “Sort of like when I got the call that I was Pet of the Year. I really can’t believe it. I wasn’t expecting to win. I was hoping I would, and I was confident that I had the best website, but you never know what the voters are looking for. I’m very thankful to AVN for recognizing my work.” Sunny also won Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene, which she shared with January 2009 Pet Teagan Presley and Penthouse model Eva Angelina. The luscious Teagan took home Best Solo Sex Scene as well.

Penthouse Studios won again this year, with the Penthouse Variations line honored as Best Vignette Series.

Our girl on the beat, October 2009 Pet Ryan Keely, concluded, “This is when the industry gives back to the key players and the people who’ve made a difference over the past year. It’s amazing that so many people gather to honor one another and the work they do.”

“I was a dancer for three years, and learning new tricks is one of my favorite hobbies. I have a spinning dancer pole in my apartment that I like to work out on.”
