They have passionate sex.
This is part of the outline of gillemo del Toro's Shape of Water, which led all the films with 13 Oscar nominations.
At the awards ceremony in Las Vegas on Saturday night, the most nominated film, the juvenile tragedy, was half his age.
Its plot is very different from the shape of the water, more passionate than the Oscar plot.
More sex, more image.
Because he's half the age, a teenage tragedy is the leading nomination
Getter with 11 people at 2018 Adult Video News Awards-porn’s Oscars.
AVN has been reporting everything about adults for 35 yearsrelated —
From sex toys to porn companies
In the same way, movies and TV have a variety of content.
To be sure, AVN's current 20-
In addition, employees are one of the most knowledgeable people in the world.

Among other things, it was nominated as "Best Boy/Girl Sex Scene", "best three"Way Sex Scene —
G/B "and" Best Photography ".
"It's just three of the 75 awards that will be presented by the 35 annual AVNs, just because there are a lot of naked women involved, the process of picking winners is just as worrying as finding out the best movies in Hollywood.
The road to erotic glory began in early October, when a group of five men and four women met in the AVN office in California to select nominations.
The Commission's task is arduous: reduce the 10,000 films and scenes submitted to AVN in September to 15 best works in each category.
Day after day, a committee of AVN employees and trusted freelancers commute to the company's beige and glass headquarters to sit together as a team to watch porn.
Throughout the day, AVN senior editor Peter Warren coordinated the action with a remote control, and the fate of each submission sometimes takes only a few seconds to decide.
"When you do what we do, there is a way to judge things quickly," Warren said . " He said with a smile, it sounds like a place deep inside his stomach.
"You can start looking at something, three seconds later, 'it's terrible, let's move on.
That instinctive decision.
Decision-making is at the heart of the commission process.
Adult film actresses Nikki Benz and Torry Black, producer/director Greg Lansky and actress Lana Rhodes are located at the Tushy and Vixen booths at the AVN Adult Entertainment fair at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
"We 've all done so many times and seen so much of what you just know," Warren said . ".
However, not all decisions are made in the blink of an eye.
For better scenes, the room moves at a more leisurely pace. “You can fast-
Moving forward, you will have a general feeling and you will say, "Well, it looks good, let's be a little slower.
You looked at it a little and said, 'This is really good, 'so you put it in.
"It's all very organic. In the end, we all said, 'We have 19 here. which four do you want to remove? '?
Most of the time, it is easy for the Commission to reach a consensus because the structure of the award provides room.
It's much easier to pick out the 15 best pairs.
Sex scenes are better than picking five best documentaries for Oscar.
This does not mean that everything is smooth.
"It's very intense," Warren said . ".
"The longer it lasts, the more nervous people are.
Sometimes it gets a little hot and people are a little rough on the edges.
"It's a chore, of course, but we try to keep it fun.
Just like we always joke, we stop for a little conversation and vent.
However, reality cannot be avoided.
"We're really just sitting there watching millions of plays," Warren said . ".
This is the case when the Commission considers receiving awards for scenes, performers or technical categories such as Best Editing or best makeup.
For a full film, there are too many things to consider when the committee arranges homework.
"For a full movie category like best drama and best comedy, we kind of broke up among us," Warren explains . ".
"We're going to say, 'Well, this guy is going to get the first place in the Best Anal Sex movie.
And then they will make their choice and narrow down the list a little bit and they will pass it on to the other person who will shrink it down a bit more and only that way, we just sit in the room and figure out what the top 15 would be.
In the end, however, like Oscar, make a decision based on the personal preferences of the nominator.
Sherri Shaulis, a member of the nomination committee, is a senior editor of AVN happy products, and she details what she is looking for in particular.
"I look for something different according to the category," she said . ".
"For a feature, if the director is able to get a show or sex scene from a performer who shows their talent and ability, I want a strong script, a great show and a sex show
"It's true that porn will never have a budget like mainstream Hollywood movies, but that doesn't mean that everyone involved can't do their best.
"For specific scenes and stars, shaulis's decision comes more from intuition.
"I am looking for a scene that touched me," said Shaulis . ".
"I like when I am surprised by the strength of the performer or the connection between more than two performers.
"The Scene category may have some crazy changes in the nominees and feel very hardcore from softness and sex, so sometimes people vote for their personal preferences.
I always understand that I think the best scenario of the year may not be what another voter likes. ”Shaulis’ G-
The rating description of what she was looking for masked what was shared in the nomination room.
The nine judges watched so many porn films together and were familiar with each other's tastes.
"We all know each other's preferences, 100," Warren said . ".
"It's a strange world for us AVN people.
"Once the Commission has finally completed their work, it is in normal condition --
By the standards of adult entertainment-returns.
Warren joked that the person who finally picked the winner did not get together in a room, but became "his own island ". The 30 voters —
Including all nine members of the nomination committee and external reviewers and industry experts
Gain access to all specified materials.
They then make their choice by ranking each category from best to worst.
They get 15 points for their first choice, 14 points for their second choice, and so on.
Once all the votes are cast in, the points are calculated and the winner appears.
To make sure the fix is not there, the whole process is a tightly guarded secret.
Oscar is an equally mysterious but more complex system because there are more voters at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Where AVNs has 30 voters, the Oscar for best picture can be voted by all 7,258 members of the college.
However, not all college members voted on all awards.
When it comes to more professional awards, such as "Best Visual Effects", only members of that department of the college have been voted.
Another big difference is that awards for women
Especially "Best Female Singer of the year" and "Best New Star "--
More attention is paid to than the male equivalent.
First of all, there are not many men working in pornography.
For example, Mick Blue has been named "the best male singer of the year" for four consecutive years and has been nominated again this year.
Second, at the end of the day, the industry is about teasing men with very sexy women.
The different treatment that women receive in AVNs extends to how to judge some works.
At the Oscars, everything was about the performance of a movie;
In AVNs, it is about the subject of work.
"I'm looking for someone who can bring their best things to every scene, whether they're an exclusive product for a company or shoot with some producers," Shaulis said . ".
"For the" Best New Star ", what I am looking for is someone who has performed well in a famous performance, and someone who has received attention for their talent.
However, according to Warren, everyone in AVN is immersed in the world of pornography and they basically know who is doing well and who is not doing well.
"It's also a mouthpiece, but again, watching porn like we do, it's clear who's the biggest star and why," Warren said . ".
"If a girl is everywhere and everything she does is incredible, then this is the peak of the collective consensus of voters.
Oscar is also very similar.
The difference is that AVNs end up with girls and sex, not art and artists.
"Of course, sex comes first no matter what happens," Warren said . ".
"If there were a lot of incredible girls in a movie, it would win almost all the other elements.
