It culminated at the AVN Awards in January, where Best Director Greg Lansky said only a brief thank-you before yielding the mic to fellow director Kevin Moore, whose wife, August Ames, took her own life last December.
“There can never be another AVN Awards show that has a memorial full of young women ever again,” said Moore.
