LOS ANGELES—The fact that they were held totally online made the 2020 Transgender Erotica Awards Show both exceptional and unusual—but what wasn't strange was the success of Evil Angel’s TS-oriented pornographers and personalities among the TEA winners.
Presented May 10 as an online event after the originally planned live extravaganza had to be canceled due to pandemic precautions, the TEA still lauded the year’s finest achievements in trans porn, with guests, nominees and winners appearing from their homes.
The TEA Show rewarded Lena Moon (formerly Lena Kelly) and her creation TransNasty in the Best DVD category. TransNasty was Moon's Evil filmmaking debut in 2019, and the multi-talented Ms. Moon financed, produced and directed the movie, shooting the footage herself when she wasn’t performing on camera. She edited her project and demonstrated impressive chops with all manner of creative jobs—but even after taking two more prestigious awards, she still wanted to share credit.
“I’m especially happy that TransNasty won Best DVD because it was just such an amazing experience to have my vision brought to life with all of the amazing people who helped make it happen. To have it received as it was just warms my heart!” responded Lena. “Winning the Fan Choice Award was also so, so special to me because I just love my fans so much and feel like we really won it together! And hey, winning Best Internet Personality was super cool too!”
“Lena Moon is brilliant!” exclaimed Evil Angel founder John Stagliano. “Her new movie, Tranimals, out soon, seals the deal.”
Evil Angel filmmaker Aiden Starr won a major award, the TEA trophy for Best Producer. The director of such series as Hot For Transsexuals, TS Gangbangs and My TS Girlfriend reacted to the news: “I’m very thankful to the TEA Show for recognizing all of my hard work! I am proud to be a longtime supporter of the TEA Show. Everyone at Grooby does such an amazing job putting on a spectacular show every year to celebrate our wonderful industry!”
The annual TEA Transcendence Award celebrates a performer that has been an ambassador for the TS porn industry, and that 2020 honor went to superstar Aubrey Kate. Since Evil Angel made Aubrey the first TS contract star ever in porn, the blonde stunner has had a huge influence on modern trans erotica.
