To get back to the original question about qualifying for awards shows...
I am a judge for the GayVNs, and I believe Chad Beecher is going to be running the awards this time, so hopefully he can back me up.
A scene or a movie is disqualified if it has barebacking in it. A director can be nominated for a specific non-barebacking movie, but if he directs bareback movies, those SPECIFIC titles won't get nominated.
Movies that are primarily M-F scenes qualify for the AVN (straight awards), Bisexual categories are part of GayVN Awards. I believe the Bisexual categories requires condoms, too, but we'll have to consult Chad Beecher on that.
Pre-condom movies can be nominated in the Classic Re-issue categories.
Hall of Fame awards allows for pre-condom work, but if a director is currently doing non-condom straight movies, he probably qualifies, but I'm not sure. Hall of Fame is nominated and voted by GayVN internally, not by judges.
If a studio known for making bareback movies feels excluded from the awards, they can always make a condom-only movie and submit it for consideration.
