Harry Sparks’ Beauty & The Beast XXX Garners Multiple AVN Awards Noms
(Los Angeles, CA) The handsome prince has a curse put on him and only true love can break the spell—this might be one of the oldest fairy tale plots, but it’s still timely and beloved. The erotic version of French fairy tale La Belle et La Bête known in America as Beauty & the Beast was released earlier this year by Sparks Entertainment and Exquisite. Directed by award winning director Harry Sparks, Beauty & the Beast XXX was a hit with fans and critics, and now it’s garnered seven AVN Awards nominations.
Harry Sparks picked up a nomination for Best Director – Parody and the movie is up the top honor of Best Parody.
Being the consummate creative genius, Sparks was behind the editing, special effects, and writing of the screenplay. AVN took note of all his accomplishments in these areas and nominated him for Best Editing, Best Special Effects and Best Screenplay – Parody.
Many of the performers in the movie delivered amazing performances and outstanding acting skills shone. James Bartholet played her father and received a nod for Best Non-Sex Performance. Lea Lexis not only delivered a memorable performance as a slave girl, also did a remarkable job doing the cast’s makeup—she received a nomination for Best Makeup for her outstanding work.
“Beauty & The Beast received a lot of critical acclaim and was beloved by fans—I’m happy to see that during awards season we’ve already won an award from NightMoves and received numerous AVN Awards nominations,” said Harry Sparks. “Thank you, AVN!”
“I only release a few movies a year, because so much goes into each one. I’m honored and humbled that AVN showered the cast and me with so many nominations.”
The AVN Awards are set to take place on Saturday, January 21st, 2017 at The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and will be hosted by Riley Reid and Aspen Rae. More information about the event can be found at
