(Hollywood, CA) The AVN Nominations Party returned to the Avalon nightclub in Hollywood with a well-attended, industry-only, red-carpet gala. Hosts Abigaiil Morris and ItsLo, trophy girls Ava Amira and Meagan Moore, AVN CEO Tony Rios, and AVN Hall of Famer Amber Lynn hosted the party, and a handful of top categories were announced. Gorgeous, all-natural, award-winning sweetheart known as the Queen of Gangbangs scored two impressive nominations for her parody film, which she produced and starred in in conjunction with Hazel Grace’s InMelanin.
One of Ray Ray’s biggest projects this year was a POC all-star parody of one of her favorite hit NBC sitcoms. The movie stars Hazel Grace, Robert Gunner, Ray Ray, Lala Ivey, Mena Carlisle, Maya Ferrell, David Lee, Ray Black, Dreads Way, Adonis Breeds, and Rico Reyes, as well as Rusty Nails, JR Cruz, and Harley Haze as extras. “Please Hold: A XXX Parody” blends bold humor and spicy scenes to entertain viewers on many levels. Now it’s scored two AVN Awards nominations, including the Mark Stone Award for Outstanding Comedy and Best Indie/Amateur Movie or Series. All four episodes are available on her official site rayrayxxx.com, Hazel Grace’s inmelanin.com, and on two DVDs.
“This was an important movie that had to be made, and Hazel and I put our hearts and souls into it. We had a great time making it, but we also put in some crazy-long days on set and in post-production. It was all worth it, and our fans loved it, plus we got some stellar reviews from critics. To have these two incredible nominations from the AVN Awards left us both speechless, but let us know as Indie filmmakers forging our own path that we’re definitely on the right track, and it’s full speed ahead from here,” says Ray Ray.

The AVN Awards are set to take place at the Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas on Saturday, January 24, 2026.
