LOS ANGELES, CA – (NOVEMBER 28, 2023) – Reigning XBIZ Male Performer of the Year, award-winning filmmaker, and Gamma Films contract performer Seth Gamble has received twenty-seven 2024 XBIZ Awards nominations, a record achievement for the celebrated performer, actor, director, and writer now entering his eighteenth year in adult entertainment.

Gamble’s prolific presence in the past year was not only recognized with nominations in the coveted Male Performer of the Year and Best Acting – Lead categories, but with a multitude of additional accolades which spoke to his range as a sexual performer, including two for Best Sex Scene – Feature Movie – Reckless (Wicked Pictures, with Ivy Wolfe & Gamble), and Blast From The Past (Wicked Pictures, with Lily Larimar, Gamble, and Kylie Rocket).

Similarly, he earned a trio of Best Sex Scene – Featurette nominations: Pampering Our Sitter (Pure Taboo, with Gamble, Penny Barber and Coco Lovecock) Abandoned (Adult Time, with Gamble, Anna Claire Clouds and Maddy May), and I Didn’t Tell Her (Bellesea, with Ivy Wolfe and Gamble), as well as Best Sex Scene – Performer Showcase for Haley Spades Gets Banged! (Bang, with Gamble, Haley Spades and Isiah Maxwell).

Gamble’s presence is nowhere more evident than in the XBIZ Awards’ top honor – the Feature Movie of the Year award. Of the titles nominated for 2024, he directed two – the sprawling Wicked Pictures thrillers Privilege and Reckless. Produced by legendary director Axel Braun, the blockbusters earned a total of sixteen major nominations. Privilege secured Feature Movie of the Year, Director of the Year – Individual Work (Gamble), Best Acting – Supporting (Lucky Fate) Best Screenplay (Gamble), Best Screenplay (Fistopher Nolan), Best Editing (Claudia Ross), Best Sex Scene – Feature Movie (Vanna Bardot and Ryan Driller), and Best Cinematography (James Avalon).

Reckless received Feature Movie of the Year, Director of the Year – Individual Work (Gamble), Best Acting – Lead (Gamble) Best Acting – Supporting (Ivy Wolfe), Best Sex Scene – Feature Movie (Ivy Wolfe & Seth Gamble), Best Screenplay (Gamble), Best Editing (Claudia Ross), and Best Cinematography (David Lord, Sammy Slater & Billy Visual). Two stylish all-sex projects Gamble created for Wicked, Vanity and Goddess, secured Gonzo Movie of the Year nominations. Fittingly, the consistently outstanding quality of the filmmaker’s work secured a Director of the Year – Body of Work nomination.

In a noteworthy recognition of Gamble’s increasing impact on the broader adult industry landscape, the pleasure products company for which he serves as Chief Strategy Officer, The Oh Club, earned a Sex Toy of the Year — Powered nomination for its innovative product The Oink-Gasm.

Reflecting on his 2024 nominations, Gamble conveyed his sincere appreciation, stating, “I wish to express my gratitude to the entire XBIZ team for graciously acknowledging my contributions as a filmmaker, performer, actor, and writer over the past year. As I reflect on my seventeenth year in the industry, I find this year to be particularly enriching in terms of versatility. Nevertheless, the recognition in categories such as Male Performer of the Year, Director of the Year – Individual Project for Reckless and, especially, Director of the Year – Body of Work surpasses any expectations I may have had.”

Delving deeper into XBIZ’s reception of Reckless, Gamble humbly commented, “The acknowledgement of the collective efforts of the cast and crew with eight major nominations is truly overwhelming. This project was a genuine labor of love for each person involved, and to see their vision and hard work being recognized is a humbling honor. The dedication, their tireless effort, and the abundance of talent and creativity they brought to the set were unsurpassed by anything I’ve witnessed before. I can’t help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for the outstanding commitment demonstrated by everyone.”

In a deeply humble tone, Gamble concluded his appreciation by saying, “I am especially grateful to my wonderful wife, Kenzie Taylor, whose unwavering support continues to be my north star. I extend my thanks to Bree Mills for her support, Jessica Jasmine and Dominic at Wicked for their confidence in me, and to all the directors I’ve had a chance to work with and learn from over the years. And, of course, I always want to extend my gratitude to my friend and mentor Axel Braun; I couldn’t have accomplished this without him.”
