It's easy for some people to sit back and claim that it's all fixed, or awards go only to the deepest pockets. I'm willing to bet though that Kristen, Helmy and the rest of the gang don't see it that way and instead put some actual time and effort into their awards. Would they be influenced by big cash money? Maybe, but I doubt it. Awards shows that would "sell" their awards would die a pretty quick death I would think.
Happy New Year All' Yall!

I'm not claiming anything is "fixed". I was pretty damn happy and surprised to get the nomination for Claudia-Marie (she deserves it)
I'm just saying that IF I were a guy who spent a hundred grand a year with XBiz and my site was up for an award...I would pick up the phone and tell Mr. Helmy that I want that award.
Yeah, I'm petty like that.
And if that award did not go to me, but instead went to someone who never spent a penny there? I'd pull my advertising.
Yeah, I'm petty like that.
And I think that most people who spend a lot of money with XBiz do expect a little "reward" and some peer recognition at the end of the day.
I'm just hoping that in the "Milf Website" category that Claudia-Marie is nominated in, that there aren't many big advertisers there.
The two I'm worried about are Lisa Ann and Kelly Madison. They are both up for "Milf Performer Of The Year" as well. So I'm figuring that one of them will win "Performer" and one will win "Site"
But as I said earlier...I'm just very happy that Claudia-Marie got some recognition. We work damn hard and it's difficult to get any industry appreciation when you aren't living in California.
So thank you XBiz!
