CHATSWORTH, Calif.—For the past 30 years, the X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) has recognized the best and brightest in the world of adult entertainment. The annual XRCO Awards Show is always a star-studded night of fun, festivities and frivolity. This year, the COVID-19 pandemic has put a damper on in-person gatherings. The XRCO, entire adult industry as a whole and the world at large have had to come up with alternative methods to celebrate achievements and recognize excellence.
In lieu of the customary live awards show and industry party, the XRCO has announced this year’s nominees and winners via videos posted on avnstars.com
“We hated having to cancel the live show and party,” XRCO’s Dirty Bob said. “But the safety of performers and our colleagues in the industry is too important. The idea of announcing the nominees and winners via video seemed like the next best thing.”
The well-received nomination video was released three weeks ago and features appearances by XXX superstars of today and wonderful blasts from the past. It can be viewed here.
The winners of the 2020 XRCO Awards can be seen in the winners video here.
"The response to our nomination video released a few weeks ago was incredibly positive,” Bob added. “This new one, the winners video, combines the previous nomination announcements with nearly all of the available winners from their homes, accepting their awards, some of them quite creatively ... imagine the possibilities! Also included is a really nice Hall of Fame segment with award winners who were actually at the very first XRCO Awards Show back in 1985! Who? It’s a surprise that will be revealed in the winners video. We are very appreciative of the effort everyone put forth in putting this together with a special thank you to Alex 'Monstar' of Star Factory PR for the tremendous job he did editing the video clips together.”
In appreciation of the support of last year’s sponsors, XRCO has extended their sponsorship an additional year, as a means of giving back and thanking them for their support over the years.
