2014 AVN Awards: Pomp and Panache
LAS VEGAS – Winners of the 31st annual AVN Awards were announced Saturday during a gala ceremony inside The Joint at the hard Rock Hotel & Casino. More than 175 people, companies, productions and products claimed trophies, including 10 awarded by fan voting and 28 inductees into the AVN Hall of Fame.
