Raging Stallion Studios Receives 19 GayVN Nominations in Top Categories!!
San Francisco based Raging Stallion Studios received numerous GayVN nominations, with recognition going to a record 7 separate films. No other studio had more than seven movies nominated. The GayVNs, the gay porn industry's Oscars®, are awarded each year at a celebrity-studded ceremony that moves this year from Hollywood to San Francisco's legendary Castro Theater. The show will take place on Saturday, February 24. This year, the GayVNs are open to the public. Co-founders Chris Ward and JD Slater were thrilled that their studio--which started in a small basement--has grown over the past years to become an industry powerhouse.Lords of the Jungle, one of the studio's major releases, received 6 nominations including Best All Sex Movie, Best Director (for Ben Leon and Chris Ward), Best Editing, Best Marketing, Best Videography, and Best Picture. Last year, the studio had similar nominations for Arabesque, which went on to become the top selling movie of the year. Lords of the Jungle was produced by Chris Ward and Michael Brandon.
Raging Stallion's Jake Deckart was nominated for Performer of the Year, as was FrançoisSagat based on his performances in Raging Stallion films. Sagat was nominated for his RSS work in Bedroom Eyes (best sex scene with Kyle Lewis), Manhattan (solo), Manifesto (Best Three Way with Huessein and Jay Black), and best packaging (Bedroom Eyes). He received a second Best Sex Scene nomination for his work with Remy Delaine in Manifesto. Francois Sagat was not singled out for nomination in any movies not made by Raging Stallion.
Jake Deckard, the current Raging Stallion Man of the Year, propelled Lords of the Jungle to its record number of nominations, and his starring role in Mirage (to be released in 2007) guarantees his place at the next awards ceremony in 2008.
JD Slater's Centurion Muscle 3: Omega, a Jake Deckard feature, was nominated for Best Leather Video, as was another Ward / Leon joint project, Manifesto.
Ben Leon's first solo directing project, Manhattan, received two nominations--for Best Specialty Latin (won by Raging Stallion last year for Passport To Paradise) and for the solo featuring François Sagat mentioned above. Fistpack Eight was nominated in Best Specialty Extreme.
New Raging Stallion associate Collin O'Neal received two nominations for his movie Lebanon--a three way starring Francois Sagat, Jacko, and Collin himself, as well as a nod in the Best Pro Am category.
This has been a banner year for Raging Stallion and the awards reflect the growing might of the studio. Company president Chris Ward commented "the fact that we have seven movies nominated really shows the depth of our quality. We have had a great year and look forward to seeing everyone at the GayVNS. I am particularly proud of Ben Leon and Collin O'Neal--both are new to directing and both received numerous nods. Way to go guys!"
