An interesting factoid about nominees in Best Foreign Language Site category is they were all French. Factoid #2? The winner was PornstarAcademie.com, based in province of Quebec -- hardly foreign to many of judges and attendees, but deserving nonetheless for last year's media buzz around its pornification of American Idol-type programming.

In end, unlike adult awards which present as many if not more offline than online categories, Best Adult Awards was a study in and drawing together of disparate elements of Adult Internet business, in its own way a great equalizer which, in words of NaughtyNiche.com's Emanuelle, "Brings people together like nothing before."

Up-and-coming videographers rubbed elbows with experienced photographers, starry-eyed starlets rubbed other parts with experienced porn stars, and little website guys got to meet Big-time website guys and learn that they, too, could be there one day -- because everyone was just as down to earth as next one, and that, as James Garner said once on "The Rockford Files", nomination really is award.
