HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) announced its nominations today for the 26th annual XRCO Awards ceremony, taking place April 29 at The Highlands nightclub overlooking Hollywood Blvd.

This year's show, hosted by Nikki Benz, Lisa Ann and Sean Michaels, will be dedicated to the memory of three industry legends lost over the past year: Jamie Gillis, Juliet "Aunt Peg" Anderson and Erica Boyer.
