They did a fairly decent job, and they did get a few things right (we had to check to make sure Best Use of an Inanimate Object wasn't a real award)—but they also got a lot wrong. Can you figure out where they missed the mark? Let us know in the comments.

"Naked Ambition: An R-Rated Look At An X-Rated Industry"—which comes out next month—expands on Grecco's book, with plenty of footage from the Adult Entertainment Expo and AVN Awards, and a whole slew of pornstar interviews (including one with our dear Supreme Commandress, Joanna Angel). Since it was shot two years ago, some of its stars have since moved on (and some of our current favorites had yet to debut), but it's still a fascinating look at our favorite industry. But hey, you don't have to take our word for it—check out the trailer below.

Other nominees include a raft of titles from mainstays Digital Playground, Wicked, and Vivid, and also independent films like "Spunk'd", which is nominated in the Screenplay and Comedy categories.

Sweeping the nominations was the excellent "Upload", named in everything from the director to the group sex categories. But as always there were hundreds of films that delighted us in some way that didn't make the cut ('Insertz"), or that were nominated but we regret not seeing ("Blow Me Sandwich 11").

Nominations do help with sales, especially if there is enough money for publicity, and awards can push even an expensive movie solidly into the black, especially if there is extra cash for cable edits.

January's AVN Awards will be technically the magazine's 25th, having announced awards in newsletter fashion in its Pennsylvania infancy, and then gradually progressing through larger Vegas venues from the Tropicana to the Sands to, finally, the Mandalay. Join us at the awards on January 12 ... as well as via probably thousands of updates beforehand.
