Ceremony information

File:Steven St. Croix 2013.jpg hosted the 12th AVN Awards]]

Actor Steven St. Croix hosted the show for the first time following a three-year stint by actor Randy West. His co-host for the first half of the show was Dyanna Lauren while Tera Heart co-hosted the last half of the show.

Midway through the show, AVN executive editor Gene Ross introduced a montage of scenes of humorous moments from a variety of movies, "Great Moments in Adult Video History", featuring actor Randy West and dozens of others.

Several other people were involved with the production of the ceremony. Gary Miller and Mark Stone served as producer and director for the show while Marco Polo served as director of the broadcast. Stone also served as musical director.

There were several new categories for this year's awards show, including: Best Ethnic-Themed Video, Best Special Effects, the Hot Vidéo Award (Best European Release), Most Outrageous Sex Scene and a couple more awards in gay categories.

John Wayne Bobbitt: Uncut was announced as the movie with the most sales and also the most rentals over the 12 months.

A VHS videotape of the show was also published and sold by VCA Pictures, which had hardcore clips of the winning movies interspersed with the awards presentations. A softcore version was made available on VHS for promotional purposes by NightVision.{{cite AV media |people=DeMercurio, Marco (Director) |year=1995 |title=The 12th Annual AVN Awards Show |medium=videotape |location= |publisher=NightVision }}

= Critical reception =

The show received a mixed reception from media publications. Erotic X-Film Guide called the show "a gala, star-studded event equal in glitz and glamor to any mainstream film awards show". However, Oui magazine and Adult Cinema Review said the video montage didn't work and some of the other entertainment was long, boring and tedious.

''In Memoriam''

AVN publisher Paul Fishbein shared a moment of remembrance for industry performers who died over the past 12 months:

Notes

{{note|correctwinner|1}} The wrong winner was announced at the show. Adult Video News magazine corrected the mistake: "A program misprint and the fact that Tammi Ann's name was inadvertently dropped, might have caused some confusion in this category. Buttslammers 3 was announced from the program dais, however Buttslammers 4 is the official winner."
