I love awards season here in Hollywood, whether it's mainstream or adult. The energy and air in town is just filled with excitement.
So last Thursday was the 2015 Xbiz Awards. They were hosted by everyone's favorite straight porn stud James Deen (congrats on getting male performer of the year by the way; it is well deserved) and held at The J.W. Marriot in Downtown LA. I wasn't able to attend, though I did try to get in, but maybe next year myself and the blog will be more well-known in the industry to get in.
Anyway, this blog I'm want to give a quick history of the awards and then present you with the winners. A huge congrats to all the nominees and winners. The Xbiz Awards are a huge honor and I hope that one day I will be able to place that trophy on my mantle!
So the awards were started fairly recently, back in 2003, but they have quickly grown and are often compared to The Golden Globes and often referred to as The Golden Globes of the adult entertainment industry.
They were founded by Alec Helmy to not only honor individuals, companies, performers and products that play an essential part in the growth and success of the industry but also because he felt, and was right, that there was a desire within the industry for an awards event that honored the industry with class and would present it in a professional light; which The Xbiz Awards do.
The categories have grown significantly in number and now there are over 150 categories!
Originally they were created to recognize achievements for the online adult industry but video categories are now a big part.
The nominations are submitted by clients and the winners are voted by Xbiz staff, industry colleagues and a few outside participating organizations.
If you'd like more information take a trip over to their site: www.xbizawards.xbiz.com
And now, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, here are your 2015 Xbiz Award Winners, let me say CockyBoys is really shaking things up this year and just cleaning house! Congratulations to everyone who was nominated and won! You all deserve it and see you next year!
