HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) has announced that it will return to an in-person presentation for its 2021 awards ceremony, scheduled to take place Tuesday, October 12, with veteran adult stars Britney Amber and Charlotte Stokely presiding over the festivities.
The event will also unfold at a familiar venue, returning to Hollywood nightspot Boardner's, where the last live XRCO Awards were held in 2019.
"Everyone was disappointed to miss the live show last year,” XRCO’s Dirty Bob said. “In 2020 it just wasn’t possible to have a show in person and keep everyone healthy. We were fortunate at that time to have so many performers contribute to our nominee and winners videos. That was great, but we are excited to be able to get together this year and have a big party and give this year’s winners the honor they so richly deserve.”
The show will mark the first time hosting for both Stokely, who is nominated for Girl/Girl Performer of the Year, and Amber, who is up for MILF of the Year.
"It's an honor to host the 2021 XRCO Awards," said Amber. "The show has an incredible legacy and is an important part of adult entertainment. I'm especially excited to get together with everyone from the industry and have a magical night."
Echoed Stokely, “I am absolutely thrilled to have been chosen to co-host the XRCO Awards alongside Britney Amber. We are looking forward to a really fun night and it would be amazing if you came to honor yourself, your peers and dance the night away."
As with last year’s nominees, the full nominations list for the 2021 XRCO Awards will be released in video form with the help of a number of the industry’s top performers, directors and luminaries.
“While everyone missed the live show last year, we decided to keep the nominations video,” said Dirty Bob. “It is a wonderful collaboration from some great industry folks, so we are happy to have it back this year. The noms video will be released next week.“
