The Pantages Theater in rainy, not sunny Los Angeles, is what greeted new starlets and veteran porn stars alike on Thursday, November 20th. The classic appeal of old Hollywood meets the digital age of adult video was the vibe in the air at The 2026 AVN Nominations party. This best describes Richard Mann’s World that night.

An event that celebrates the beginning stages of “The Oscars of Porn.” He will now get to boast about one of his greatest career achievements. Something that has been earned over twenty years. Now, in 2026, Richard Mann’s World has received the spotlight for what could be his greatest gangbang of all time.

“You know, when a person’s dream is achieved to become a director in this industry, you would think that would be all a man needs, right? Over the years, I have wanted to bring recognition to the one place that has always been me. A place that I know like the back of my hand, because it literally is. Yes, I have had nominations before. But, to get one for this project. With this part of my company, and with the great Rebel Rhyder. Who I am so proud to have helped start her career. This means so much to me.” – Richard Mann

About Richard Mann
With over twenty years of experience, Mann enters his second year as a contracted Evil Angel director. This latest release stands as Richard’s thirteenth production with the iconic porn company of Kink. Porn critics have described his presentation as nasty meets GQ with a directing style that has been molded by some of the greatest film directors in the history of adult films. Richard is also known as a casting director who discovered and helped launch the careers of some of the biggest megastars in the industry today, such as Rebel Ryder—helping transform the girl next door into queens of nastiness and debauchery. If that is the case, what does that make Richard Mann? Well, the only thing that can be said is, this is his world. We are just living in it.
