No word yet on whether there will be an open bar. Either way, this is great news.

Adult Video News announced on its website today that  it is now accepting pre-nominations in 30 categories for the 12th annual awards show, including several new web categories like Best Web Show, Best Blog/Gossip Site, Best Retail/VOD Site and Best Web-Based Marketing/Promotion Effort. Here’s the full list of categories; more details to come.

Notably missing from the category roster is Best Fetish Performer, which means that muscle freaks in leather aprons will be woefully absent from the ceremony this year.
