CHICAGO—One of the biggest nights in the gay adult entertainment industry, the Grabby Awards, concluded with Raging Stallion Studios and Falcon Studios taking home seven awards. Directed by company president Chris Ward, The Other Side of Aspen VI, the sixth installment of the most celebrated and successful franchise in gay porn history and the first Falcon release produced after the company merged with Raging Stallion Studios, won Best All Sex DVD, the Steamworks Fan Favorite Award and Best Duo for the Adam Killian snowmobile scene with exclusive Tony Buff.
Director and former performer, Steve Cruz, who had previously won Best Newcomer and Performer of the Year honors at the Grabbys, took home the coveted Wall of Fame Award for his overall achievements in gay adult video. The Performer of the Year trophy was bestowed on current exclusive and Falcon Man of the Year, Landon Conrad. Tom Wolfe, Raging Stallion exclusive, was awarded the prize in the new category Manly Man, and Andrew Jakk won Best Newcomer.
"We want to thank Grab Magazine and everyone involved with the Grabbys for the amazing recognition we've received this year, and for the spectacular honor of putting the consummate professional Steve Cruz on the Wall of Fame. He definitely deserves it," said Ward. "I also want to pay special recognition to the entire team, from grips to the art department and the administrative staff to our team of directors and our amazing models for all their hard work and dedication to putting out the best gay male erotica on the planet."
