Tad Pole, owner of TadpoleXStudio, is thrilled to be nominated for Niche Specialty Performer of the Year at the 2026 AVN Awards Show. It’s his second consecutive year earning the honor. The beloved, every man of porn, also received a nomination for Best Indie/Amateur Movie or Series for his popular DVD and VOD series Tad Pole Fucks Pretty Babes! The 20-year Navy veteran and former teacher-turned XXX performer/producer/director was quick to share his delight at hearing the amazing news.

“It is surreal to see my production work nominated for the 2026 AVN awards,” Tad said. “I am thrilled to get a nomination for individual work, and I am even more thrilled to see my movie series, Tad Pole Fucks Pretty Babes, get nominated. Nobody had money on my boy-girl scenes getting AVN nominated when I started doing porn over 7 years ago. Tad Pole Fucks Pretty Babes is a simple title, but now it is an AVN award-nominated title, and it might even become an AVN award-winning title. It’s truly a dream come true!”

Known for his big heart, the hardworking stud also wished all the other nominees well before thanking AVN again for the honor.

Tad said, “I want to wish all the nominees the best of luck in my two nominated categories. I really appreciate AVN for recognizing my work for the upcoming awards. I can’t wait to attend this year’s awards show!”

The 2026 AVN Awards Show is slated for January 24, 2026, at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, presented by MyFreeCams. For a full list of nominees visit https://avn.com/awards/2026_nominees.
