Winners of 2023 XRCO Awards Announced

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) held its 39th annual awards ceremony Thursday night, once again at storied Hollywood nightclub Boardner's by La Belle, with a gaggle of adult's biggest stars in attendance to revel in the traditional pandemonium of the industry-only affair. Jennifer White hosted the evening's presentation of more than 30 awards, assisted by "Heart-On Girls" Caitlin Bell and Lily Starfire, who handled distribution of the XRCO's Lucite trophies to all of the winners throughout the night. Commanding the number of trips to the podium, by a considerable margin, was Vixen Media Group, picking up trophies including Best Gonzo Movie (Blacked Raw V56), Best Gonzo Series (Blacked Raw), Best Girl/Girl Series (Slayed's Play) and Best Anal Series (Tushy's Anal Angels), as well as a Best Actress win for contract star Maitland Ward (for her performance in Deeper's Drift) and another for Deeper honcho Kayden Kross in Best Director - Web. That said, respectable showings were made by Casey Calvert's quirky Lust Cinema feature Going Up—which earned Seth Gamble a Best Actor prize and itself took Best Release—and 2022 New Starlet Blake Blossom, who added Orgasmic Oralist and Personal Favorite trophies to her collection. The event was presented by LoyalFans, and co-sponsored by The Mall/SS Ent, Axel Braun, ATMLA, IAFD, AdultTime, Slayed, Brazzers, Liquid Death, NightMoves Magazine, Angela White and Star Factory PR.
