(Hollywood, CA) The AVN Nominations Party returned to the Avalon nightclub in Hollywood with a well-attended, industry-only, red-carpet gala. Hosts Abigaiil Morris and ItsLo, trophy girls Ava Amira and Meagan Moore, AVN CEO Tony Rios, and AVN Hall of Famer Amber Lynn hosted the party, and a handful of top categories were announced. Last year, smoking hot, glamorous, versatile, and multi-award-winning trans performer Ariel Demure won Best Trans Acting Performance—now she’s up for it again, Trans Performer of the Year, and several other nominations for her scene work.
Ariel Demure had an incredible 2025, but one of her roles was the role of a lifetime…Transpirella, based on the underground comic character Vampirella. She has now scored an AVN Awards nomination for Best Trans Acting Performance for her role in Gender X Films’ feature directed by Jim Powers, as well as Most Outrageous Sex Scene for her scene “Satanic Orgy and Hellish Takedown” (or “Lucifer’s Sploogenami”) with Avery Lust, Andylynne Payne, and Jack Hammer.
Three more of Ariel’s scenes also received nominations. Grooby’s TGirls.Porn’s “A + A = Demure Lust” with Avery Lust is up for Best Trans One-on-One Sex Scene, GroobyVR’s “Waking Up with Ariel!” with Giovanni is nommed for Best VR Trans Sex Scene, and Gender X’s “Trans Orgy” with Jade Venus, Brittney Kade, Kasey Kei, Tori Easton, Khloe Kay, Lola Morena, Cherry Kiss, Michael DelRay, Steve Rickz, Cliff Jensen, and Wolf Hudson has received a Best Trans Group Sex Scene nomination.
“Winning Best Trans Acting Performance at the AVN Awards for my own production last year was a dream come true. I’d love to win it again for ‘Transpirella’ or Trans Performer of the Year. I’ve had an incredible year and am so thankful for all the nominations, all the directors and studios who worked with me this year, and the team behind me,” says Ariel Demure.
