2008 GayVN Awards: Total Defeat For Jason Ridge

Don't use my 'celebrity' for your views or your blog. The audience is not listening!Harlow Cuadra supporter Jason Ridge continued his unbroken string of award season defeats, getting completely shut out at this year's GayVN Awards.

Ridge and his company Ridgeline Films had been nominated for 7 GayVN awards spread over 5 catagories, but in a continuing industry repudiation of his tee-shirt and video campaign to "Free Harlow Cuadra" he failed across the board last night, going 0-7 (or 0-5, if you prefer to count the defeats by catagories).

Having the general reputation as being on the crazy train heading straight for Britneyville did not help matters either, I'm sure.

These losses tack on to earlier award ceremony shut-outs at the XBiz Awards and the Cybersocket Awards; the latter a particularly humiliating defeat at the hands of none other than Brent Corrigan (more on that here).

Sorry I can't be here to accept this award in person, folks...One other bit of amusing GayVN Award news: Nikolay Petrov, the porn star accused of braining an elderly New York couple with a hammer WON...taking the prize for best "Best Threesome" along with Jesse Santana and Jason White, for their troika performance in Jet Set's "Just Add Water."

I guess the message the GayVN Awards want to send here is: It's OK for an awardee to be an accused murder...but it's not OK to pimp for one. LOL!

Update: As first reported on Mark Adams site today, Best Threesome co-winner Jesse Santana penned some interesting musings regarding the line between being a porn star and an escort.

...Although frankly, had I wrote this screenplay, this is certainly not how I'd choose to end it:

"...And then, in a shockingly brutal scene, Bryan is murdered and the audience is left drained. The film quickly ends after that, with little resolution. We dont know who killed him, or why they did it because that is not what this particular story is about."

Unless you are planning a sequel, this would make for a terrible ending IMO.

BTW for those of you who cannot cut and paste that entire second link, click here...

Well, I don't know what James Somerton's plans with the screenplay are...
but I wonder what Brent said about the cast if he actually read it :-)

They screwed up the facts just enough to make it sound like a real Hollywood product. It is a fun project though, thanks n.c. Any idea who put this little gem together?
We will make sure Brent is aware of it but he doesn't usually respond publicly to such things unless he makes it a blog post. He did that when Perez Hilton made the comparison between Brent and Efron and had photoshoped cum dripping from both their mouths. I guess PH is at least fair and equal when he is being vile and disgusting. Gee I guess I got off track. :0

Nothing Brent should be worried about, IMO :)

I did some google search on James Somerton who wrote this "bait" and found this :

Yes, does sound like an interesting fellow:

"About Me
James Somerton
I've been making movies since I was 11 years old when I made a 5 hour long movie on my camcorder called "The Rise and Fall of Apocolypse". I haven't stopped since."

Looks like someone's not too happy about using their image.

I did quite a chuckle out of the "my celebrity" part though.

N.C. Thanks for the great find when I posted the trailer on my Blog I sent an email to James. He responded yesterday, seems he has been an avid fan of Brent Corrigan since the "Cobra days"

I posted his reply as an update to
Bait.http://dewayneinsd.blogspot.com/2008/02/bait.html

Over on Jason Ridges blog he sounds a bit like he believes the award system may not be fair??
He really wanted the "performer of the year" award bad, he has been nominated 4 times and never won, he feels "someone there does not like me"
Could be they do not like his ego, attitude AND his performance.

"he feels "someone there does not like me"..."

Far be it from me to correct him!

Jim said, "Far be it from me to correct him!"
Jim, you have a sick and twisted mind. Jason will never understand that comment.

Hey, thanks Dewayne!
Now I wonder if Brent's review of Gus Van Sant's film was written on purpose :-)
