Wow...I've heard so much about these awards. They are like an alternative to the AVN Awards, but this time awards are given out on the basis of fan votes rather than who bought the most advertising this year.

Everything is in place...the awards ceremony is on June 24th at the LA Convention Center, and will be hosted by Carmen Luvana and Tommy Gunn. You can even vote right up until the 23rd of June! Even cooler, the nominees are decided by the fans as well, rather than the fans being given a set list of nominees to choose from. Awesome, right?

According to this http://www.ainews.com/story/10133/, pre-noms ended on March 15th, which is a real shame as they still don't have online voting sorted out at http://www.thefameawards.com.

AVN http://www.avn.com/index.php?Primary_Navigation=Articles&Action=View_Article&Content_ID=263178 has the pre-nom deadline set at May 1st, but there's still no way to vote and we're almost in April.

Is it just me, or has the cart been put before the horse on this one? It's supposed to be all about the fans' opinions, but thus far they have solicited none of them as far as I can see. Rather odd, to say the least.

Still, nice to see porn's premier investigative journalist was asking the hard questions during the big conference call:

Five minutes later, I ask another question: "Is the FAME Awards good for the Jews?"

Nice one Luke, keep beating that dead horse!

I have a sneaking suspicion that Pirates and The New Devil In Miss Jones are going to do quite well here....
