Hip-hop artist Lil Wayne performed several musical numbers during the show.[13] Comedian and master of ceremonies Aries Spears cracked jokes and appeared in several comedy skits with various adult industry luminaries.
Ceremony information
For the first time, content released exclusively on membership websites was eligible for AVN Awards consideration in any sex scene category. AVN also added two new categories in the Web and Technology area: Best New Website and Best Clip Website. In addition, Best Specialty Movie - Other Genre and Best Specialty Series - Other Genre were renamed Best Niche Movie and Series and a new category, Niche Performer of the Year, was added.[14] At the nominations unveiling, two more new categories, Best Action/Thriller and Best Lewd Propositions Movie were announced. Favorite BBW Performer was added later as a fan-voted category for 2018.[15] Another new fan category for 2018 was Favorite Cosplay Cam Cosplayer.
Porn legend Ron Jeremy was banned from the year's awards show. AVN felt he violated its code of conduct based on a Rolling Stone article published in November 2017, in which he was accused of sexual misconduct.[16]
In Memoriam
As the show was beginning, AVN used a video segment to pay a tribute to adult-industry personalities who had died since the 2017 awards show: James Baes, Sean Barnett, Ron Harris, Hugh Hefner, Morton Hyatt, Sonny Landham, Radley Metzger, Jocalyn Pink, January Seraph, Greg Steel, Michael Zen, Roxy Nicole, Olivia Nova, Olivia Lua, Yurizan Beltran, Shyla Stylez, August Ames.
