Overview
The awards have been described as the porn equivalent of the Palme d'Or[5] or the Academy Awards.[3][7][8] The analogous American honor is the AVN Award.[2][8][9] The inaugural event was held over two weeks in May in a hotel complex, at exactly the same time as the Cannes Film Festival.[5][6] Venues included the Royal Casino Hotel, situated five miles from the Croisette.[4] In 1997, the event was held at the Lido in Paris.[2][3]
The Hot d'Or was noted for the lavish parties that accompanied it,[6] particularly those held by Private Media Group on board a yacht in Cannes marina.[5] The event attracted many performers, paparazzi, directors, and producers and distributors who would make deals buying and selling films.[5] The event would often court publicity by having porn stars pose naked on the public beach.[6] Consequently, it attracted attention from international media who were in town for the mainstream festival.[5]
The highest award given was the Hot d'Or d'honneur,[4] which was awarded to figures including Estelle Desanges, Marc Dorcel, Julia Channel, John Stagliano, Internet Entertainment Group and Ona Zee.
20th anniversary*
After an eight-year absence, the awards returned to Paris on October 20, 2009 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Hot Vidéo magazine.[1][10] They were held at Salle Wagram at the art deco Radisson Hotel, and French pop star Helmut Fritz performed at the show.[1] French television giant Canal Plus had the rights to broadcast the show during their late-night block of adult programming.[1]
Reception and review
Hot d'Ors presence was not particularly welcomed by the Cannes Film Festival or Cannes city officials.[6] In 1998 (when the awards were again held in Cannes),[2] Steve Vlottes of Wicked Pictures said the awards were: "the most important show that we attend".[3]
