Fleshbot’s Guide To The 2020 AVN Award Best Leading Actress Nominees

Porn's Top Leading Ladies

This list contains some of the year's most interesting to watch porn performances from the beautiful women of porn and wow, there have been some absolutely great movies this year. Check out these plot based movies and the incredibly sexy and smart women who make them memorable. I loved watching and voting on these this year.

Aiden Ashley, Insomniac, BurningAngel/Exile

Ashley plays a woman who is, not surprisingly, an insomniac who gets led into surreal and sexy experiences by performer/director/AVN Hall of Famer Joanna Angel.  This trippy movie is sexy as fuck and Ashley does a hot threeway in this with Angel and bartender Small Hands that is my favorite scene in the lot.

Christiana Cinn, Arcane, Kelly Madison/Juicy

Cinn plays the wife of a sex addict who cheats on her constantly played by James Deen in this movie directed by Andy Zane. Cinn stands by her man, playing his wife AND his mother in this edgy, unforgettable feature. We get to see her enjoy sex with Deen and hard, really intense creampie fucking by Donnie Rock.

Jessica Drake, Lost Love, Wicked Pictures

Drake plays a widow who is mourning the death of her husband Ryan Driller in this feature directed by AVN Hall of Famer Brad Armstrong. This has a crazy twist ending that you absolutely need to see and drake does a killer hot sex scene with Hands in it.

Lacy Lennon, The Gentleman, Missa X/Girlfriends

Lennon is a serial killer who finds herself in love with the titular character played well by Zac Wild in this MissaX feature. Lennon is sexy and creepy and all kinds of great in this.

Kristen Scott, Teenage Lesbian, Adult Time/Pulse

Scott delivers an incredibly moving performance in this coming of age coming out story in this partially autobiographical movie written and directed by Bree Mills. Scott's performance here runs the gamut of emotions and her nominated pairing with Aidra Fox and a solo scene of Scott's are hella hot.

Magdalene St. Michaels, Confessions of A Sinful Nun 2: The Rise of Sister Mona, Sweetheart/Mile High

St. Michaels is incredible as Mother Joan, the head of an abbey in this sequel to the last nun drama in the series directed by Ricky Greenwood. St, Michaels' scene with Mother Superior/AVN Hall of Famer Nina Hartley is so moving with Hartley helping St. Michaels find pleasure and love inside of own body as a sexual woman.

Kenzie Taylor, Captain Marvel XXX: An Axel Braun Parody, Wicked Comix

Taylor plays the title role in what is most definitely the parody of the year and she carries this movie on her shoulders beautifully with her funny and sexy performance. She does a very hot and nominated threeway with Lacy Lennon and a Deadpool-costumed Seth Gamble and she also enjoys some hot trans lesbian fun with Aubrey Kate.

Angela White, Perspective, Adult Time/Pulse

White plays a woman whose marriage is at its breaking point in this edgy drama directed by Mills. Seeing White in the emotional pain that she is in here was rough for me but the nominated group sex club orgy scene that she was in with Abigail Mac, Alina Lopez, Gianna Dior, Isiah Maxwell, Michael Vegas and Whitney Wright is a welcome respite.

Whitney Wright, What We Do for Money, Sweet Sinner/Mile High

In this action feature, Wright plays the mistress of gun runner/AVN Hall of Famer Marcus London. When London dies in her arms after a bunch of hot fucking, she is left with a pile of cash and a whole lot of decisions to make. Wright is sexy as hell and she does a fine job navigating the script's twists and turns well.

Ariel X, Girls of Wrestling, Sweetheart/Mile High

X delivers one of the best performances of her career as an alcoholic/drug addicted wrestler once at the top of the world but now reduced to being a trainer to a troupe of amateurs in desperate need of her coaching.
