Production

edit

On August 7, 2018 Pornhub announced Asa Akira would host the award show. In early September 2018 reports stated Kanye West would be a creative director for the show. On September 3, 2018 Pornhub and West confirmed the partnership.[5][6] Unlike other award shows such as the AVN's or XBIZ Awards winners would be decided on users streaming data from the website. The data compiled from mid-March 2018 until the day before the show on September 5 were used to find the winners of the categories. There was also a fan award portion which fans vote in a poll-style system from mid-August 2018 until the event in September on pornhub.com.[7][8]

Kanye West and Teyana Taylor performed at the show.[9] The show was held at the Belasco Theater in Downtown Los Angeles.[10]
