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 10 awards.
Brutal 1 & 2, the ultimate fighting inspired, two-part epic took home three major awards, including Best Director and Best Videographer, Tony Dimarco and Best Supporting Actor, Brenn Wyson. Falcon’s Mustang Studio clinched Best Three Way (Dominic Pacifico, Spencer Reed and Alexsander Freitas in Adrenaline) and Best Cum Scene (Samuel Colt, Alessio Romero, Arpad Miklos, Brenn Wyson in Crotch Rocket), while the Jocks brand scored a win for Best Solo, featuring Shane Frost in Shane’s Pool Party.
Falcon & Raging Stallion Studios Exclusives also won big with Angelo Marconi capturing Hottest Bottom honors and Samuel Colt receiving the coveted Performer of the Year award.
“We’re honored for all the awards at this year’s Grabbys, and we want to thank the judges and everyone involved with the Grabbys for this overwhelming recognition,” said Chris Ward, president of Falcon Studios & Raging Stallion Studios. “This is a testament to the talent and hard work that our directors, models and staff members bring to every production, and I am tremendously proud of all of them. A special congratulation goes to Tony Dimarco; he’s a visionary who consistently produces amazing movies.”
Through the years, Raging Stallion Studios and Falcon Studios have won scores of Grabbys, and for this year’s awards the studios and their stars combined to garner over 60 nominations in multiple categories.
