NEW YORK, NY — Both the CockyBoys studio and its exclusive models have been recognized during this awards season with nominations across several categories at both the 2013 Grabbys and TLA Gay Awards.
The Grabbys finds CockyBoys with 19 nominations, including 11 for the most nominated movie of the year, Project GogoBoy, which sees nominations for Best Movie, Actor for Jake Bass and Max Ryder, Director/Screenwriter Jake Jaxson, Box Cover, Art Direction, Videography, Duo Scene, Group Scene and more.
The award-winning website CockyBoys.com is up for Best Original Web content as well.
Additionally, CockyBoy Exclusive Max Ryder has been announced as one of the prestigious Grabby co-hosts at this year’s ceremony.
The nominations come after what the studio has labeled a “tremendous year” for the business that in 2009 was the recipient of the Grabby's first ever Best Web-Based Porn Site award.
CockyBoys has also received a total of seven nominations at the 2013 TLA Gay Awards, including Movie of the Year for Project Gogoboy and Name of the Game, Director of the Year for Jake Jaxson, Content Producer/Studio of the year for CockyBoys and more.
Director and owner Jake Jaxson says of the nominations, "I can't express how grateful and honored we are to be so generously recognized by both the Grabbys and the TLA Gay Video Awards. It's been a little over a year since I went from being behind a desk to behind the camera and I could not be more proud of my staff, my crew, and our CockyBoys! They have all been so committed and enrolled in my main goal -- producing gay adult entertainment that we can be proud of."
He adds, "Growing up in southern Louisiana, I was taught that sex was bad and that gay sex was an abomination. Obviously, that can really fuck up a confused and creative kid like me, so I view my work as a giant ‘fuck you’ to that part of my upbringing. I hope the work we do at CockyBoys will help connect viewers to a certain sexual energy they can enjoy over and over again, having a guilt free porn experience!"
Jaxson closes by saying that, "I'd also like to thank our producing partners — Tim Valenti at NakedSword Originals as well as George Duroy, Stuart Davis, and Lukas Kazan at BelAmi. Their support, guidance, and collaborative spirit have been invaluable."
