LOS ANGELES—XCritic, the website dedicated to reviewing all things XXX-rated, has released its list of award nominees for the 2019-'20 eligibility period, which ended on September 30, 2020.
"Even in this very odd year, studios and performers managed to get a few gems out to the fans, and of course, reviewers like our great team here," XCritic noted on its website. "As usual, there was a lot of discussion about who and what 'the best of the best' was and is, but we finally settled on a list that made sense to everyone here and we hope it makes sense to you! We like to think we were ahead of the curve because our awards have always been all-digital."
