Who won at the 43rd AVN Awards?

The 43rd AVN Awards is the adult industry's flagship awards show, held January 24, 2026 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, honoring releases from 2025. This page documents 64 placements from that ceremony: 20 winners and 44 nominees, each sourced to Wikipedia's dedicated ceremony article, a specific award category's own dedicated Wikipedia winners roster, AVN's own winners or nominees coverage, or, in one case, IMDb's credited winner record. Winners here include Jennifer White (a five-category sweep led by Female Performer of the Year), Lexi Luna (MILF Performer of the Year), Adriana Chechik (the fan-voted Favorite Porn Star Creator), and Octavia Red (two scene-category wins). This is our researched coverage of the creators on this registry, 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.

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 "43rd AVN Awards" ceremony article, a specific award category's own dedicated Wikipedia winners roster, or AVN's own press coverage; one placement (Kayley Gunner's win) is sourced instead to IMDb's own credited winner record, without a confirmed category.

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 43rd ceremony was held January 24, 2026 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, honoring releases from 2025 across dozens of scene, performer, and fan-voted categories.

Who won at the 43rd AVN Awards?

Nineteen winners are documented on this page, each sourced to Wikipedia's ceremony article, a category's own dedicated winners roster, AVN's own winners coverage, or IMDb's credited record — among them Jennifer White (a five-category sweep), Lexi Luna (MILF Performer of the Year), Adriana Chechik (the fan-voted Favorite Porn Star Creator), and Octavia Red (two scene-category wins). This is our verified coverage of the creators on this registry, not the ceremony's full results: AVN 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 42nd AVN Awards?

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