Every year the AVN nominations party feels like Christmas morning for the industry, except Santa wears latex and the gifts are shiny trophies you actually have to earn with your dick (or acting chops). This time around, Ken Feels woke up with a stocking full of nods, including the one every male performer secretly jerks off to in their head: Best Supporting Actor.
Ken Feels Just Turned 2025 Into His Personal Highlight Reel
Dude went from solid performer to “wait, is he about to sweep?” territory overnight.
The plum role? Playing Jake Python in Wicked Pictures’ massive feature Once Upon a Time in the Valley. Word on the set was Ken crushed the character work, and AVN clearly agreed because they slapped him with both Best Supporting Actor and Best Tag-Team Sex Scene (opposite Ameena Green and Parker Ambrose). That’s the kind of double-dip that makes agents pop champagne at 10 a.m.
VR Domination: Two Nods, Two Different Flavors
Ken didn’t just rest on his feature laurels. The man went full cyberstud in virtual reality too.
- Best VR One-on-One Sex Scene – BaDoinkVR’s “At Melanie’s Mercy” with Melanie Marie (spoiler: she shows zero mercy)
- Best VR One-on-One Sex Scene – SexLikeReal’s “Attorney of Seduction” opposite Adriana Chechik (yes, that lawsuit-happy legend is back in the saddle)
Two separate VR nominations in the same year? That’s like getting booked for both Brazzers and Blacked in the same week, rare air.
And Then There’s the Blowbang Chaos
Capping the haul is a Best Blowbang Scene nod for Jules Jordan Video’s “Yumi Sin Gets Swarmed in a Six Man Blowbang.” Six dudes, one tiny spinner, and Ken right in the middle of the swarm. If you’ve seen Yumi take a face full, you already know why voters sat up straight when this hit the ballot.
“Thank you, AVN, for these incredible nominations and for recognizing my hard work and dedication to my craft. And a big thank you to all the studios and directors who have hired me this year. I’m looking forward to 2026!”
– Ken Feels
What This Actually Means for 2026
Five nominations, three different studios (Wicked Pictures, BaDoinkVR, Jules Jordan), feature + gonzo + VR. That kind of range screams “book this guy yesterday.” Expect rates to jump and directors to start writing actual characters again instead of just “Pizza Guy #3.”
The full AVN 2026 nominees list is live now, and the big show goes down January 24 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. Start placing your bets, because Ken Feels just turned himself into a legit awards-season threat.
Congrats, man. Well fucking earned.
