Let’s be real—when the AVN nominations drop, half the industry holds its breath and the other half starts measuring shelf space for new trophies. This year, Cliff Jensen is the sexually fluid, tatted-up beast is breathing easy because he just racked up a handful of nods that prove he’s still the king of “I’ll fuck anything that moves, and I’ll do it better than you.”
Cliff Jensen Owns the 2026 Niche Categories
The man is back-to-back nominated for Niche/Specialty Performer of the Year at the AVN Awards, and honestly? Nobody else is touching that crown right now. Cliff has turned “versatile” into an art form: straight scenes one day, pounding trans superstars the next, then flipping it for some raw bi action. Voters clearly can’t get enough.
Two Monster Trans Group Scenes Up for Gold
Both of his AVN Best Trans Group Sex Scene noms are straight fire:
- Gender X Films’ “Trans Orgy” – a legendary lineup with Jade Venus, Ariel Demure, Brittney Kade, Kasey Kei, Tori Easton, Khloe Kay, Lola Morena, Cherry Kiss, and a pack of hung dudes. Eleven bodies, zero chill.
- Evil Angel’s “TS Aubrey Kate Gangbang/DAP Initiation” – Aubrey taking multiple cocks every direction while Cliff leads the charge with Pierce Paris, Michael Vegas, and the crew. DAP, trains, the works.
If you’ve seen either scene, you already know why they’re nominated. If you haven’t… fix that. Immediately.
GayVN Didn’t Forget the Bi Heat
Over on the gay side, Cliff snagged two Best Bi Sex Scene nods:
- BiPhoria’s “Secretly Bi 2” with Sage Roux and Scarlet Skies – the one where the “straight” guy suddenly isn’t so straight anymore.
- KinkMen’s “Call Me Daddy” with Buck Richards – leather, dominance, and Cliff owning every second of it.
GayVN recognizing bi work this hard feels like a win for everybody who’s tired of rigid boxes.
“Thank you, AVN and GayVN, for my nominations. I’m so happy to receive so many and am excited about both the award shows and the expo. It’s always a great time, and I love meeting my fans!”

Mark Your Calendar – Vegas Is Coming
GayVN Awards hit Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on January 22, 2026. AVN Awards follow on January 24. Translation: Cliff’s going to be mobbed at the signing tables all week, and half the attendees will be praying he wins so they can scream his name even louder.
Bottom line? Cliff Jensen isn’t just nominated; he’s the guy other performers look at and go, “Damn, I gotta step my game up.” And if he walks away with that Niche Performer trophy again? Nobody will be shocked. Hell, we’ll just cheer louder.
See you in Vegas, king. Bring home the hardware.
