Mick Blue Wins Male Performer of the Year at 2015 AVN Awards

Historic: Wife Anikka Albrite Also Wins Female Performer of the Year

VENICE, CA – Mick Blue was part of a historic win over the weekend when he won Male Performer of the Year at the 2015 AVN Awards, followed just moments later by the announcement that his wife, Anikka Albrite, had won Female Performer of the Year. Mick is also the first Austrian to ever win the award.

This marks the first time ever that a husband and wife have been awarded Performer of the Year honors, let alone in the same year. Mick also won four other awards, including the coveted Most Outrageous Sex Scene.

“I was extremely overwhelmed to win Performer of the Year, but even more it was that Anikka won as well,” Mick said. That was a dream come true for me, because I wished so much that she could win the award this year. This was the most memorable day of my life after our wedding day.

“Sharing this with Anikka is just truly amazing. She was a huge supporter for me over the last two years and always stood by my side and truly made me a better performer. I also want to thank all the wonderful performers, directors, producers and companies out there that worked with me over the past year and gave me the opportunities to work. It’s all about teamwork and we are nothing on our own. Also huge thank you to AVN, Fleshlight and Im Live.

“There were a lot of other performers in the same POTY category who would have deserved to win as well because they are absolutely great in what they do and well-deserving for this award in the future.”

Mick also wanted to thank all the reviewers and awards voters for recognizing his work over the past year and since he came to the U.S.

I also want to thank Mark Spiegler, because he was the person who let me sleep on his couch for two weeks when I first came to America and recommended me to directors so that I could have the opportunity to show my talents,” Mick said. “Thanks to my publicity team at Rising Star. And a huge thank you also to Sal Genoa, who was the first director ever to shoot me here in America, which I will always remember. All the wonderful people I worked with together over the past years like Mason, Greg Lansky, William H, Chris Streams, Manuel Ferrara, Jules Jordan, Jackie St. James, Eddie Powell, Paul Woodcrest, Pat Myne, Jonni Darkko, Jay Sin, Tony T, and so many more have a huge part in this.”

Male Performer of the Year

Anikka Albrite Wins Female Performer of the Year at 2015 AVN Awards

She and Husband Mick Blue (MPOTY) Now Officially Porn’s Top Couple

VENICE, CA – Anikka Albrite was the big winner at this weekend’s 2015 AVN Awards, scoring the coveted Female Performer of the Year trophy and four other awards.

But what will make the night so memorable to so many is that it was the first time in history that a husband and wife both won Performer of the Year awards as Anikka’s husband Mick Blue won Male Performer of the Year. Anikka also won Female Performer of the Year at the XBIZ Awards two weeks ago.

“This is seriously the most excited I’ve been since my wedding last March!” Anikka said. “I just wanted to say how thankful I am to everyone, including my friends, family, all the wonderful talent, production companies, directors, my agents, especially Mark Spiegler, my PR team at Rising Star, IM Live, Fleshlight, the reviewers, all my fans, AVN, and XBIZ, who have helped me build my career and have supported me and believed in me over the past few years! I am most excited to share this honor with my husband and biggest supporter, Mick Blue, who won Male Performer of the Year with me! Mick is my inspiration, my motivator, and the love of my life! I am so proud of him, he has worked so hard over the years. I couldn’t be happier! This is truly a dream come true and our ultimate fairytale!”

Anikka’s praise for the industry that has wholly embraced her didn’t stop there. The perennially smiling starlet could not contain her gratitude at being bestowed with the highest honor a performer can achieve and insisted on thanking the people she felt had given her this amazing opportunity to shine.

“I am so thankful for everything, especially for the scenes from Anikka 2, which included AVN Award for Best Double Penetration Sex Scene, my favorite scene ever!” she continued. “I want to thank all the amazing talent who share these awards with me; I couldn’t have done it without them! I also wanted to thank Mason, who pushed me in every sense and made beautiful movies with me for Hard X. She is an inspiration and one of the hardest working directors I know. I also wanted to thank Dani Daniels for having me be a part of her amazing movie Deeper for Blacked.com. She’s an incredible girl and deserves all the recognition she has received. Last but not least, I want to congratulate all the award winners! 2014 was a great year and there were so many amazing projects with talented people that came out of it! Thank you again to XBIZ and AVN!”

Anikka went on to add that the whole experience is beyond anything she ever could have imagined.

“This is something we will never, ever forget,” Anikka said. “For both of us to win is the best thing that could have ever happened.”

Anikka also won these awards:
Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene with Dani Daniels and Karlie Montana in Anikka 2 (Hard X/O.L. Entertainment)
Best Double Penetration Sex Scene with Mick Blue and Erik Everhard in Anikka 2 (Hard X/O.L. Entertainment)
Best Solo/Tease Performance with Dani Daniels and Karlie Montana in Anikka 2 (Hard X/O.L. Entertainment)
Best Three-Way Sex Scene – G/G/B with Dani Daniels and Rob Piper in Dani Daniels Deeper (Blacked/Jules Jordan)

The blockbuster Anikka 2, an all-Anikka showcase, was one of the night’s big winners and was certainly a movie that helped secure some votes for Anikka’s FPOY award(s). At the XBIZ Awards she also won for Untamed Heart. She and Tommy Gunn won Best Scene – Couples-Themed Release.

“I am so thankful for everything, especially for the scenes from Anikka 2, which included my first DP and favorite scene ever!” Anikka said.

New releases starring Anikka include Interracial Madness (Reality Kings), which releases this week, and Mick Blue Is One Lucky Bastard (Zero Tolerance), the much-anticipated reverse gangbang starring her husband, Mick Blue, and Dahlia Sky, Carter Cruise, Skin Diamond and Adriana Chechik.

BSkow Brings Carter Cruise to Tears During Auditions

Hypnotized Best New Starlet Sheds Tears Before Unforgettable Scene

VENICE, CA – Last week gorgeous young Carter Cruise took home Best New Starlet along with several other equally impressive trophies including Best Actress at both the at the XBIZ Awards and the AVN Awards. The young ingénue displayed her impressive acting chops in director B. Skow’s version of the casting couch for his highly anticipated new release Auditions by crying on command. When hypnotized by the eccentric auteur she turns in a heart wrenching performance worthy of an Oscar, exhibiting a wide range of emotion almost effortlessly before giving a white hot hardcore performance that left fans and critics clamoring for more. The collaboration between Miss Cruise and B. Skow is so effective that the two are now in talks to do a major adult feature starring the talented star as his lead and inspiration.

“Carter let me get inside her mind and really break her down,” Skow explains. “She doesn’t hold back with me at all and she’s not afraid to fully express herself. Together we make great movies and I’m looking forward to seeing how far I can push her.”

Released on January 2nd through Skow for Girlfriends Films, Auditions also stars Lola Foxx, Vyxen Steel, and Ariana Grand in convincing casting couch scenarios that both delight and arouse viewers. The release is seeing strong sales owing in no small part to the erotic charge of power exchange, verbal dominance, and raw sexual inhibition brought out from exploring the depths of the nubile young performers dirty psyches.

“I really liked the idea of exploring the dynamic of a girl going out for a role and being asked to do something more,” Skow confides. “How will she react? She could tell the director to fuck off or she could be ready and willing to do anything to get the part. There are a lot of possibilities and I had a cast that really allowed me to take a look at some different situations and also get some amazing scenes.”

Hypnotizing performers is just one of the many quirky tricks the acclaimed director has in his arsenal that have set him apart from nearly every other director in adult entertainment, causing critics to label him a trendsetter who pushes the envelope. A true industry veteran since his early Vivid days back in 1993, B. Skow continues to take things further than the rest of the pack with his innovative and fresh approach to creating erotic art. The results are nothing short of astounding which might explain why with he’s one of the most-nominated people working in the adult business today.

You can check out a special look at the trailer along with a hardcore set of images on Fleshbot.com now – http://straight.fleshbot.com/6006174/trailer-stills-for-b-skows-latest-auditions.
