Raging Stallion Dominates GayVN Nominations

Grunts

San Francisco based Raging Stallion Studios received received 27 nominations for this year’s GayVN awards, the Oscars® of the Gay Adult Industry, not including nominations for three of its exclusives for Performer of the Year (Steve Cruz, Jake Deckard and Roman Ragazzi) and one exclusive for Best Newcomer (Steve Cruz). GRUNTS, the top selling movie of 2007 which was co-produced by Naked Sword, received more nominations than any other film and dominated the major categories. Jake Deckard was nominated for Best Actor for his portrayal of Sergeant Houle and Ricky Sinz picked up the best supporting actor nod for his work on the film. Directors Chris Ward and Ben Leon were nominated for best director (Ward also was nominated for Best Director for Mirage, a film released earlier in the year). Ricky Sinz and Roman Ragazzi were nominated for Best Sex Scene (picture above). JD Slater was nominated for best Music for Grunts, and the movie received the coveted nomination for Best Picture. In an unexpected twist, Mirage was also nominated for Best Picture. Raging Stallion is the only studio in recent memory to have two nominations each in the Best Director, Best Sex Scene, Best Videography, and Best Picture categories. No studio has ever had three of its exclusives nominated for the top prize of Performer of the Year, although Raging Stallion exclusives have captured that award for three of the past six years.

JD Slater’s Erotikus was nominated in the Best Bear category, and Ink Storm, Instinct, Faster! Faster! Fuck Me Harder!, and Fist and Shout were singled out for nominations as well. Michael Brandon’s Trouser Trout received a nomination for Best Three Way.
