The 38th annual XRCO Awards Show brought the biggest stars in XXX out to make Cinco de Mayo even more festive in Hollywood. With co-hosts Bridgette B and Alexis Fawx leading the way, the X-Rated Critics Organization celebrated the best performers and projects from the past year in style.
It was an especially big night for the folks from Vixen as the company and its projects took home four awards including Best Release (Psychosexual), Best Gonzo Series (Natural Beauties), Best Adult Web Site & the coveted Best Star Showcase (Influence Emily Willis).
Stunning superstar Angela White was a big winner with four trophies to add to her collection. In addition to wins for Best Gonzo Movie (Angela Loves Threesomes) and Best Anal Series (Angela Loves Anal), the three-time Female Performer of the Year nabbed a pair of individual awards. Angela’s oral skills had her named top oral sex artist in the Vicki Chase Orgasmic Oralist category and her overall awesomeness earned her the XRCO Personal FavoriteAward.
It was also a big night for a pair of the industry’s most respected directors. Kayden Kross (Best Director Features) and Quasarman (Best Director Non-Features) both won awards for their work behind the camera. These top awards came as the pair was also being inducted into the XRCO’s Hall of Fame along with Robby D, Heather Hunter, Dana DeArmond and Wesley Emerson.
On the individual award front, Maitland Ward took home the trophy as Best Actress for her role in Muse Season 2. Blake Blossom was named Best Starlet for her outstanding rookie campaign. Beautiful, busty babe Natasha Nice was named Unsung Starlet while Liz Jordan won as Teen Dream and Brandi Love went home with hardware as MILF of the Year. Tommy Pistol and Dante Colle shared the Best Actor Award, with both being recognized for their work in the same movie, Casey: A True Story.
Top individual honors for Performer of the Year got interesting thanks to another tie. Isaiah Maxwell was named Male Performer of the Year, but his king and queen dance card was a little full as both Gianna Dior and Emily Willis were named Female Performer of the Year. No complaint has been heard from Mr. Maxwell over sharing the top slot with these two beautiful and talented performers.
The XRCO thanks all those who attended, the hosts, trophy presenters and all of the volunteers who made the evening possible. It also congratulates all of the winners, nominees and new Hall of Fame Class.
Can’t wait to see you all again next year.
