__NOEDITSECTION__ The Critics Adult Film Association (CAFA) was a New York-based group of East Coast adult sex film critics, which bestowed awards upon those working in pornographic film during the 1980s. The awards were first presented in 1981, honoring the movies of the previous year. ''Talk Dirty to Me,'' a sex comedy starring John Leslie, who won Best Actor, was voted best film of 1980. Samantha Fox was the first Best Actress, winning for her role in ''This Lady Is A Tramp,'' another sex comedy. ''Amanda By Night'', an adult crime-drama and ''Roommates'', also a drama, would become CAFA's most-honored movies, with the latter being presented with seven awards in 1983, including Best Director (Chuck Vincent) and Best Actress (Veronica Hart).〔''The Film Journal'' Volume 87, Pubsun Corp., 1984.〕 ''Amanda By Night'' scooped six awards the previous year in a ceremony "held at the famed Copacabana":〔"1981 Adult Film Critics Awards", ''Porn Stars: The Stag Erotic Series'' Vol. 3 No. 4, July/August 1982, pp. 6–9.〕 Best Film, Best Actress (Hart), Best Supporting Actress (Lisa De Leeuw), Best Director (Robert McCallum), Best Screenplay and Best Editing. The CAFA and Adult Film Association of America awards were considered the major adult film awards of the Golden Age of Porn. By 1985, sex news magazine ''Cheri'' declared: "Held at the Silver Lining, a snazzy little bistro on the West Side's Restaurant Row, the fifth-annual Critics Adult Film Awards was a gentle reminder that porn films can be measured against standards other than the Peter Meter."〔"CAFA Capers: The N.Y. Critics Salute Porndom's Finest", ''Cheri Magazine'', October 1985, pp. 24-27.〕 The seventh CAFA Awards were presented May 27, 1987 in Manhattan.〔Will H. Jarvis, "The 7th Annual CAFA Awards: The X-rated stars cum out at night!", ''Cinema Blue'' magazine, Vol. 4, No. 8, November 1987, pp. 6-9.〕 The association seems to have faded away after that, as did the New York-based adult film industry, overtaken by the X-Rated Critics Organization and its Heart-On Awards, which had first been presented two years earlier and which were based in California, the new centre of porn production. In 1986 all three awards programs chose the same Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress.〔Bill Bottiggi, "The 10th Annual Erotica Awards", ''Stag'' magazine, December 1986, pp. 56-57.〕 == CAFA Awards == The trophies were called the Critics Adult Film Award and each was inscribed with the year the award was being given for, on a gold-plated round icon with decorative edges on a wooden base.〔Photo ((enlarged) ) accompanying ("An Interview with Porn Star Icon Georgina Spelvin" ) by Charles Shea LeMone, June 8, 2009. Retrieved 2012-05-22.〕 In 1987, ''Cinema Blue'' magazine described the voting as a two-stage process: "CAFA President Jack Shugg and officers Steffani Martin, Colette Connor and Will H. Jarvis, aided and abetted by the members of CAFA...mail out two ballots to the New York porn critics. On the first ballot, the critics make five choices for best movies and performers in each category. (This year, any film or video released between January 1, 1986 and February 28, 1987 was eligible.) The ballots are then mailed back and the officers and their assistants count them. The choices with the most votes are then listed on a second ballot and again mailed to the critics who make one final choice in each category. These votes are once again tabulated and the movie or performer in each category with the most votes becomes the winner."〔 Winners are listed below by the year in which the awards presentation was held, not by year the award was for, which was the previous year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Critics Adult Film Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
