NEW YORK—CockyBoys and their exclusive performers have collected a total of 31 nominations for the 2016 Grabby Awards.
This year, CockyBoys' hit thriller Meeting Liam is leading the pack with 10 nods, including Movie of the Year, Director of the Year and Best Screenplay.
"I am beyond thrilled today and so proud of our team and performers for getting us here,” said Jake Jaxson owner and lead director of CockyBoys. “In a day when most gay websites are owned by straight conglomerates, I'm especially proud to be one of the few remaining gay-owned and gay-operated porn sites still producing and thriving on unique and special condom-only porn. And that is in no small measure to my dedicated, smart, and creative team headed by Hugo Harley, Benny Morecock, and their team: Chris, Peter, Carol and James.
"I'm also grateful that RJ and I get to keep dreaming bigger and bigger with our films thanks to our A-list group of actors and our loyal and dedicated members,” he continue. “However, so much of the magic of our work is chaos transformed into reality by our editors, Cilantro Che Guevara, Andy Pandy and Ivan Ivanov. It is my hope that the Grabby Awards really do consider adding an editing category in the years to come. I know it's not the sexiest category, but I know how hard our team works and how hard the editors work at other companies, and so much of high quality adult filmmaking is actually achieved in the editing room. It's time we start to recognize that work. Sadly, there are no award nominations for these guys and, without a doubt, none of what we do would be possible without them."
This year CockyBoys will be doing an event at Side Tracks on Friday, May 27, which will again be an underwear auction for Charity, as well as a movie release party for their much anticipated One Erection: The UnMaking of a Boy Band.
The next day CockyBoys will once again host the annual fan event COCKY CON, an all-day event with food, drinks, panels, a 'COCKYSHOP POP-UP STORE' with T-shirts, hoodies, DVDS, trading cards and more for sale.
All proceeds from the event will be donated to charity.
Details on COCKY CON 2016 will be come as a venue and performers are announced.
