NightMoves Awards

The NightMoves Awards are given annually in the pornographic film industry by NightMoves, an Oldsmar, Florida-based magazine which was first published in 1987 and initially titled Sports South. The awards began in 1993 and were initially titled the Central Florida Adult Entertainment Awards. It is the third oldest continuously running adult awards show in the United States, after the AVN Awards and the XRCO Awards. It also marks the start of the porn industry's awards season. In addition to the show's national awards, local awards are also given to sexually oriented businesses and dancers in the Tampa Bay Area. Two awards are given for each national category: one which is chosen by fans and the other one which is chosen by the editors of NightMoves magazine. An online voting ballot is available for approximately three months every year for the fan's choice awards. Recipients of the editor's choice awards are chosen based on film reviews.

The awards have been held at several different venues throughout the Tampa Bay Area, including The Krush in Tampa in 1995, and 1996, Club XS in Downtown Tampa in 1997, 1998, and 1999, Stormin's Palace in Clearwater in 2000, 2001, and 2004, the Pinellas Expo Center in Pinellas Park in 2002, club Twilight in Tampa in 2003, Bricktown 54 in Clearwater in 2005, 2006, and 2007, the Dallas Bull in Tampa in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, and the Tampa Gold Club in 2013, 2014, and 2015. Pornographic actor Ron Jeremy has hosted every show so far.

The NightMoves Awards added a new a category titled the Triple-Play Award in 2006. Also known as the Anna Award, it was created in honor of the late pornographic actress Anna Malle. Recipients of the award are recognized for their excellence in at least three different fields of the adult entertainment industry, such as performing, directing, and feature dancing. The first recipient of the award was Stormy Daniels. In 2007, NightMoves added a Hall of Fame to its awards show.
