Let’s be real—when the AVN noms drop, half the industry is refreshing Twitter like crack addicts. The other half? They’re already celebrating. Autumn Rain falls squarely in the second camp this year, and damn, she earned it.
The tall, tattooed goddess just pulled in four heavyweight nominations for the 2026 AVN Awards, including another bite at the Trans Performer of the Year cherry and—huge moment—her first-ever acting nomination. That alone had people screaming.
Autumn Rain’s 2026 AVN Nominations Just Hit Different
Look, trans categories have exploded in prestige the last few years, and Autumn is riding that wave straight to the top. She’s become the performer directors call when they need someone who can flip from inked-up alt girl to retro pinup to strict teacher domme without breaking a sweat. Versatility? She wrote the damn book.
The Big One: Trans Performer of the Year
Another Trans POTY nod. That’s not news—that’s expected at this point. Autumn has been on a tear with Transfixed, Evil Angel, TransAngels, the works. The woman tops, bottoms, switches, and looks drop-dead doing all of it. Voters clearly can’t get enough.
First Acting Nom – “Teacher’s Pet” on Transfixed
This is the one that made her gasp. Best Trans Acting Performance for the Transfixed feature “Teacher’s Pet.” Word from set is she absolutely crushed the role—strict, seductive, a little cruel, total power exchange energy. When a performer finally cracks the acting category in trans, you know the performance was next-level.
“I was thrilled when I saw the AVN Awards nominations, especially the Best Trans Acting Performance for my Transfixed scene. It’s incredible to be nominated, but I’d love to win any of these four awards. Thank you, AVN.”

Best Trans Group Sex Scene – Absolute Chaos in the Best Way
Alt Erotic’s “My Tattoo Girls 6: Trans Edition – Scene 4” is pure filth on paper: Autumn Rain, Madame Ouija, Avery Lust, Sarina Havok, Taylor Nicole, Nikki Zee, and Robin Coffins—all tatted, all horny, all going at it. Seven performers, zero chill. If you thought trans orgies couldn’t get wilder, this one laughs in your face.
Best VR Trans Sex Scene – GroobyVR Brings the Immersion
“Autumn Rain Says ‘Please, Please Me…’” opposite Sage Roux for GroobyVR. Title alone tells you she’s in total control. Put the headset on and suddenly she’s towering over you, curves everywhere, demanding exactly what she wants. VR tranny scenes keep getting better—this one’s a lock for heavy rotation.
The full 2026 AVN Awards show goes down January 24 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. Fan voting opens soon, so if you’re riding for Autumn (and let’s be honest, why wouldn’t you be?), get ready to stuff those ballots.
