HOLLYWOOD—The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) announced its 42nd annual award winners Sunday night in a star-filled ceremony at Boardner's nightclub in Hollywood.
The show was co-hosted by Sarah Arabic and Melony Melons, with Caitlyn Baby and Nyla serving as the evening's trophy presenters. More than 30 awards were presented during the ceremony, including the inaugural Axel Braun Director of the Year honor, bestowed by the Hall of Fame helmsman himself to gonzo maestro Jules Jordan—who also took home the Best Director (Non-Features) prize.
Another big winner of the night was reigning AVN Female Performer of the Year Jennifer White, who claimed the same title at this show, along with Awesome Analist and Star Showcase for her acclaimed Elegant Angel vehicle Hollywood Whore: A Jennifer White Showcase Film (also repeating its win from the 2026 AVN Awards). And scoring yet another repeat victory was 2026 AVN Best New Starlet—and newly-signed Spiegler Girl—Cheerleader Kait, who took XRCO's simply-titled New Starlet crown.
