#10 Nicole Kitt
BIRTHDAY: October 10, 1994
BIRTHPLACE: Oklahoma City, USA
MEASUREMENTS: 34C-26-36
NOMINATIONS: 6
X PROFILE: @TheNicoleKitt
We open this top with Nicole Kitt, who received six nominations this year. And it’s been a great year for the cute and skinny ebony babe, who joined the adult industry back in 2020. She’s been picking up major roles left and right. She is nominated for a best actress award with her performance in “Tune Up” from ForPlay Films and she has an incredible reverse interracial scene on Tushy called “Beautiful Tourist Gets Her Flawless Ass Filled” which is nominated for the best international anal sex scene.
#9 Octavia Red
BIRTHDAY: November 04, 1996
BIRTHPLACE: California, USA
MEASUREMENTS: 36-27-36
NOMINATIONS: 6
X PROFILE: @octaviaxred
Octavia Red is such a nice presence in the porn world. First of all, she’s got some amazing natural titties. But more importantly, she has that Hollywood actress face and attitude that makes every porn scene in which she performs a cinematic masterpiece. No wonder she got nominated for Performer of the Year, but also for Best Cinematography, with “The Red Door: An Octavia Red Showcase Film” from Elegant Angel.
#8 Lilly Bell
BIRTHDAY: January 11, 1996
BIRTHPLACE: Portland, Oregon, USA
MEASUREMENTS: 32C-24-34
NOMINATIONS: 6
X PROFILE: @yourfavlil
Lilly Bell recently got her tits enhanced, which is proof again that big titties are always more appreciated in porn. Not that she didn’t look good with perky little ones. But once she got fake boobs, she got more roles and even more nominations in the AVN. One of her best performances this year is the one that brought us the Best Leading Actress nomination with The Secret We Share from Adult Time.
#7 Vanna Bardot
BIRTHDAY: February 3, 1999
BIRTHPLACE: Denver, Colorado, USA
MEASUREMENTS: 32B-24-33
NOMINATIONS: 7
X PROFILE: @vannabardot
It feels like Vanna Bardot is already a legend. She’s been around since she was 19, and she’s now 26. But for some reason, it seems like the critics have underrated her. I’m happy to see that she broke that spell and that she received seven nominations this year. My favorite of her nominations is the one for Best Oral Sex Scene, which she got for the performance in “Vanna Bardot Blowjob” from DarkkoTV. She does have one of the best blowjob faces in the industry.
#6 Rissa May
BIRTHDAY: January 14, 2005
BIRTHPLACE: Michigan
MEASUREMENTS: 32DD-24-36
NOMINATIONS: 7
X PROFILE: @_RissaMay_XO
For a 20-year-old girl to receive seven nominations in your second year as a pornstar is a performance. But Rissa May is not just any kind of pornstar. She is a model with some amazing titties and the right attitude in front of the camera. It feels like she’s been doing porn for a decade when she starts performing. And those big natural tits are monumental. Her best sex scene this year, in my opinion, is “Rissa May's Thrilling Anal Threesome” from TagTeamPOV. It’s rough, raw, and it’s the scene that brought her the nomination for Best Tag-Team Sex Scene.
#5 Kylie Rocket
BIRTHDAY: March 1, 2001
BIRTHPLACE: Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA
MEASUREMENTS: 32B-24-34
NOMINATIONS: 8
X PROFILE: @RocketKylie
We’re moving into the top five of the pornstars with the most AVN nominations for 2026, and the names might surprise you. Kylie Rocket is at the middle point of our list, and she deserves all of her 8 nominations. At 24, she already has six years of experience and over 600 movies. What she also has is a very fertile body and a look in her eyes that will make a man want to breed her. That’s why I think the most representative scene for her is the one that got her the Best VR One-On-One Sex Scene nomination, “Meet My Work Wife” from Adult Time’s series Watch You Cheat VR.
#4 Blake Blossom
BIRTHDAY: February 14, 2000
BIRTHPLACE: Arizona, USA
MEASUREMENTS: 32DD-22-30
NOMINATIONS: 8
X PROFILE: @blkblssm
I was one of the first reviewers to call Blake Blossom the next big thing and I was right. The juicy blonde was the first teen with big titties that we got after a long spell of skinny petite babes. And it is also her lustful attitude and professionalism that ensured me she will be big. This year she got 8 nominations, and one of the best scenes in which she’s been featured is a special one from Elegant Angel called “Performers of the Year 2025: Lesbian Orgy” which is a lesbian orgy in which all actresses have been nominated for the AVN performer of the year award last year, including Jennifer White, Anna Claire Clouds, Vanna Bardot, Lilly Bell and Octavia Red. I’m telling you it’s a scene you want to watch.
#3 Chanel Camryn
BIRTHDAY: September 17, 2001
BIRTHPLACE: Jacksonville, Florida, USA
MEASUREMENTS: 34B-24-36
NOMINATIONS: 9
X PROFILE: @TheChanelCamryn
Chanel Camryn did such a great thing, going brunette in the past year. She started out as a blonde, but she has both the body and the sexual drive of a brunette. And it paid off. She got 9 nominations this year, which is great after three years as a pornstar. And it was also the year in which she went full dirty. You’ll understand why when you read the title for one of her nominations: Chanel Camryn's First Ever Double Vag and Double Anal Is So Fucking Hot. It’s a long title for the Bang Production, but things like that should be advertised.
#2 Jennifer White
BIRTHDAY: February 6, 1988
BIRTHPLACE: Agoura Hills, California, USA
MEASUREMENTS: 34C-27-36
NOMINATIONS: 10
X PROFILE: @jenwhitexxx
After more than a decade in the porn industry and after 1,200 movies released, Jennifer White finally gets the recognition she deserves. She is one of those pornstars who were meant to shine in their stepmom and MILF era, just like Angela White or Lauren Phillips. At 37, she got ten nominations this year and her performance in “Hollywood Whore: A Jennifer White Showcase Film” from Elegant Angel brought her half of her nominations.
#1 Anna Claire Clouds
BIRTHDAY: February 15, 1995
BIRTHPLACE: Nashville, Tennessee, USA
MEASUREMENTS: 30C-26-34
NOMINATIONS: 13
X PROFILE: @annaclairecloud
Here we are at the number one spot in our list with the one and only Anna Claire Clouds. I honestly think that it is the look in her eyes that brought her so much fame. Doesn’t she have the same dominant and badass look in her eyes as Sydney Sweeney? It’s the kind of look that can make a man hard and let him know she likes it in the ass. And she indeed is a great anal performer. However, she is an all-around performer, handling any kind of situation. That’s why I think her female performer of the year nomination will also be the one that will bring her an award. And I’m sure she’ll go home with more than just one trophy.
