Who won at the 42nd AVN Awards?

The 42nd AVN Awards is the adult industry's flagship awards show, held January 25, 2025 at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, honoring releases from 2024. This page documents 32 placements from that ceremony: 13 winners, 18 nominees and one Hall of Fame inductee, each sourced to Wikipedia's dedicated ceremony article, a specific award category's own dedicated Wikipedia winners roster, AVN's own reporting, or a named trade outlet cited on the creator's own page. Winners here include Anna Claire Clouds (Female Performer of the Year), Eve Sweet (International Female Performer of the Year), Gal Ritchie (Best New Starlet), and Mama Plugs (Favorite Independent Female Creator). This is our researched coverage, not the ceremony's full results — AVN named winners and nominees across dozens of categories that we haven't individually verified, so a name missing here means we haven't documented her placement yet, never that she didn't place.

The documented roster · 32

This page lists the winners and nominees documented on this registry — not the ceremony's full results, which ran far wider than what we've individually verified and sourced. A name missing here means undocumented, never unlisted by the ceremony itself. Most placements trace to Wikipedia's dedicated "42nd AVN Awards" ceremony article, a specific award category's own dedicated Wikipedia winners roster, or a source cited directly on the creator's own page. Three placements need a closer note: Kayley Gunner's win is sourced only to IMDb's own credit for the televised "AVN Awards 2025" special ("Self – Winner"), and the specific category couldn't be independently re-confirmed, so none is stated for her entry. Melody Marks's Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene win isn't covered by English Wikipedia's ceremony article (which omits scene-level awards) and is sourced instead to the French-language edition. Faye Wilde's win was shared with fellow cam performer Luna Lore, who isn't independently corroborated or documented on this registry, so she isn't listed as a separate member here. (Octavia Red's Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene co-win with Blake Blossom, by contrast, is corroborated directly by AVN's own winners record — awards.avn.com/winners/2025 credits both performers by name — so Blake Blossom is listed as a separate member above.)

Quick answers

What are the AVN Awards?

The AVN Awards are the adult industry's largest and longest-running awards show, presented annually by AVN (Adult Video News) since 1984 — often described as the industry's equivalent of the Oscars. The 42nd ceremony was held January 25, 2025 at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, honoring releases from 2024 across dozens of scene, performer, and fan-voted categories.

Who won at the 42nd AVN Awards?

Twelve winners are documented on this page, each sourced to Wikipedia's ceremony article, a category's own dedicated winners roster, AVN's own reporting, or a named trade outlet — among them Anna Claire Clouds (Female Performer of the Year), Eve Sweet (International Female Performer of the Year), Gal Ritchie (Best New Starlet), and Mama Plugs (Favorite Independent Female Creator). This is our verified coverage, not the complete results: the ceremony named winners across dozens more categories than the ones documented here.

Is everyone on this page a real person?

Yes — every member on this page has a fully sourced page, and every one is a documented real person with an independently verifiable industry career. A win or nomination is a documented fact about a name at a ceremony, not a verdict by itself, which is why each one links through to the fuller evidence page.

Is this the same as the 41st or 43rd AVN Awards?

No. The 42nd AVN Awards, documented on this page, was held January 25, 2025, honoring 2024 releases. AVN holds the ceremony annually — the 41st was held January 27, 2024 and the 43rd was held January 24, 2026, each a separate ceremony with its own winners and nominees.
