Soft and Hard Adult Film and Television Awards
The Soft and Hard Adult Film and Television Awards (SHAFTA) are an annual[1] film award ceremony for pornographic films in the UK. The organisers describe the event as the "UK Oscars of Porn",[2][3] and AVN state it is the highlight of the British adult film calendar.[4] Voting is open to any subscriber of Television X.[5] As winners are determined by fan votes, nominees have used social media to encouraging people to vote for them.[6] The term SHAFTA was chosen as a portmanteau of BAFTA and penis shaft.[7]
History
The first ever SHAFTA ceremony was held in 2010,[8] and it was organised by Television X.[9] The 2011 SHAFTAs were held in London on March 9,[10] at the For Your Eyes Only club.[11] Celebrities attending the event included Tim Westwood, Dane Bowers,[12] and Billi Bhatti.[11]
The 2012 SHAFTAs were held on March 15 at Platinum Lace,[13] which is a strip club on Coventry Street in London. The event was hosted by Tanya Tate,[14][15] who won the MILF of the Year award for the third year in a row.[16] A minor controversy was caused when transsexual star Holly Harlow was nominated for Best New Starlet. Television X, however, defended the choice stating: "[T]he term starlet fits her perfectly, she is feminine, sexy and a great performer."[15] Award presenters included Lethal Bizzle, Danny Dyer and Terry Coldwell from East 17.[13] ICM Registry co-sponsored the event along with Television X,[17] and the event was streamed live on the awards' official website.[14] Ben Dover was presented with an honorary award, entitled “The Palm Phwoar” for “endeavours in adult entertainment” over his 33 years in the industry.[4] The 2013 SHAFTAs were held on December 5 at the Rise Superclub in Leicester Square.[18]
