Las Vegas was buzzing with electrifying energy this past Sunday as the alternative scene’s brightest stars gathered for the 2025 AltStar Awards. Presented by the iconic Bad Dragon, the night was a full-blown celebration of the creativity, passion, and community that define the alt world. With the sharp-witted Jeffrey Damnit steering the ship as Master of Ceremonies and the stunning Malice McMunn serving as the official “Trophy Goddess,” the event was anything but ordinary.
The organizers at AltPorn.net were beaming, capturing the night’s spirit perfectly:
“The 2025 AltStar Awards celebration was truly amazing this year. We want to thank each and every one of you involved, from the companies and makers that support our vision for a greater alternative community to the producers and talented content creators, to all the legions of fans and friends that diligently nominated and voted… You all put so much into this, and we are so proud to channel that energy into providing a strong and supportive network for all of you to keep creating the fantastic things that you do.”
This wasn’t just an awards show; it was a testament to a community thriving on its own terms.
And the Big Winners Are…
The night’s most anticipated awards saw some of the industry’s most beloved figures taking home the gold. The coveted title of Best Female Performer of the Year was awarded to the incredible Little Puck, recognizing her standout work and influence. Meanwhile, the fans made their voices heard loud and clear, crowning Cubbi Thompson as the Fan Favorite Female Performer of the Year.
On the men’s side, Jayden Marcos earned the top honor of Best Male Performer of the Year for his dynamic and powerful performances. The fan-voted honor for Fan Favorite Male Performer of the Year went to the charismatic Musa Phoenix, proving his deep connection with his audience.
The Creator-First Revolution
This year’s awards underscored a major trend: the power is in the hands of independent creators and their fans. The win for LoyalFans as Best Premium Social Media Site for Indie Artists highlights the industry’s shift towards creator-owned platforms. This was further cemented by Ellie Stockholm winning Best Premium Social Media Star, and the huge array of categories dedicated to cam models and clip artists.
The distinction between peer-voted “Best” awards and “Fan Favorite” awards shows just how crucial audience engagement is. It’s a world where performers build their own brands, connect directly with their base, and get rewarded for it—a true win for the creator economy.
Spotlight on Standout Productions
It wasn’t just about individual performers. The award for Best AltPorn Feature Video went to AltErotic’s ambitious, star-studded production, InkMotel 5, directed by Ivan. This epic ensemble piece showcased the collaborative spirit of the alt scene.
In the gonzo realm, Proxy Paige’s raw and intense Gape Escape, released through Evil Angel, took home the prize for Best Gonzo AltPorn Video, proving that her unique directorial vision continues to captivate.
