Damn, the AVN nominations dropped like a bombshell this year, and nobody’s walking away happier than Lilly Bell. Eight nods? That’s not just a good year—that’s a straight-up takeover.
The blonde bombshell snagged two of the absolute heaviest hitters right off the bat, and honestly, it’s about time the industry recognizes what fans have known for ages.
Lilly Bell Dominates 2026 AVN Nominations
Female Performer of the Year and Best Leading Actress—those aren’t participation trophies. Those are the ones that separate the pros from the legends. And Lilly? She’s gunning for legend status hard.
The Big Acting Wins
Her role in Adult Time’s “The Secrets We Share” earned her Best Leading Actress for playing Anna, the foreign exchange student with… well, let’s just say a lot of secrets. She also grabbed Best Solo Tease Performance from the same project. Anyone who’s seen it knows that tease is pure fire—slow, deliberate, and leaves you begging.
Thank you, AVN, for the nominations, and for recognizing my hard work, attention to my craft, and my on-screen performances. I was thrilled when I saw the nominations list and am very excited for the expo and awards show in January.

Showcase and Girl/Girl Heat
Elegant Angel gave her the full star treatment with “Lilly Loves Girls: A Gonzo Showcase Film,” and it paid off big. The movie itself is up for Best All-Girl Movie or Series, while her scorching scene with Vanna Bardot landed a Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene nod. If you haven’t watched that one yet, fix your priorities.
Boy/Girl and Group Scene Fire
Over at Deeper, her retro-styled “Stars in Her Eyes” with Parker Ambrose is beautifully shot and earned Best Boy/Girl Sex Scene. It’s classy, intense, and yeah—hot as hell.
Then come the group scenes. Elegant Angel’s “Performers of the Year 2025: Lesbian Orgy” stacked with Jennifer White, Anna Claire Clouds, Vanna Bardot, Blake Blossom, Octavia Red, and Jewelz Blu? Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene nominee. And Adult Time went wild with “The Bottom Floor: Second Coming”—an absolute pile of talent that snagged Best Foursome/Orgy Scene.
- Female Performer of the Year
- Best Leading Actress (“The Secrets We Share”)
- Best Solo Tease Performance
- Best All-Girl Movie or Series (“Lilly Loves Girls”)
- Best Girl/Girl Sex Scene (with Vanna Bardot)
- Best Boy/Girl Sex Scene (“Stars in Her Eyes”)
- Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene (Lesbian Orgy)
- Best Foursome/Orgy Scene (“The Bottom Floor: Second Coming”)
Eight nominations across acting, solo, boy/girl, girl/girl, and massive groups. That’s range. That’s versatility. That’s why her face is plastered all over the Virgin Hotels casino for the show.
The full list of 2026 nominees is up on the official AVN Awards site, and fan voting categories drop soon. The big night hits Las Vegas on January 24th. If Lilly walks away with even half these, we’re looking at a serious changing of the guard.
She’s repped by Spiegler Girls, so directors know where to find her. The rest of us? We’ll be watching—and rooting.
