Ever wonder what it takes to be crowned porn’s elite? The 2025 XRCO Awards just dropped their nominees, and it’s a fucking wildfire of talent. Over 60 performers, from legends like Christy Canyon to rising stars like Hailey Rose, lit up a nomination video that’s less announcement and more a chaotic love letter to the industry. This isn’t just a list—it’s a snapshot of who’s owning the game right now.
XRCO Awards: The Industry’s Raw Pulse
The X-Rated Critics Organization has been the adult world’s unfiltered arbiter of excellence for decades. Unlike glitzy mainstream awards, the XRCOs are by the industry, for the industry—no bullshit, just real talk. This year’s nominee reveal, co-produced by Dirty Bob and Alexander “Monstar” Raymond, is a star-studded circus. Think Casey Calvert grinding on a skeleton or Ivan tattooing “XRCO” on his skin. Loose guidelines, wild results. You can catch the whole thing on LoyalFans.
Who’s Running the Show?
Set for May 25th at Hollywood’s iconic Boardners, the 2025 XRCO Awards will be co-hosted by international firecracker Cherry Kiss and MILF goddess Gigi Dior. Trophy duties? Handled by Sasha Pearl and Hailey Rose, who’re basically the industry’s new darlings. With sponsors like Brazzers, AdultTime, and Angela White backing the event, expect a night that’s equal parts class and debauchery.
Standout Nominees: Who’s Got the Edge?
The nominee list is a who’s-who of porn’s heavy hitters. Blake Blossom and Anna Claire Clouds are everywhere, snagging nods for Best Actress and Female Performer of the Year. Chanel Camryn’s versatility lands her in multiple categories, from Awesome Analist to Vicki Chase Orgasmic Oralist. On the guys’ side, Seth Gamble and Mick Blue are duking it out for Male Performer, while new studs like Sheem the Dream shake things up. Trans Performer of the Year is stacked with names like Ariel Demure and Emma Rose, proving the category’s depth.
- Best Release: Titles like American MILF (MILFY) and Gold Diggers (Digital Playground) lead the pack.
- Best Gonzo Movie: Double Anal Angels 2 (Evil Angel) and Tushy Raw 70 are raw and relentless.
- MILF of the Year: Cherie DeVille, Lexi Luna, and Maitland Ward are neck-and-neck.
The Video: A Creative Clusterfuck
Dirty Bob called it: this year’s announcement video is a masterpiece of controlled chaos. Over 60 performers, including Alexis Fawx, Payton Preslee, and Piper Perri, brought their A-game. Skits range from absurd (Casey’s skeleton humping) to iconic (Ivan’s tattoo). It’s not just a nominee roll-call; it’s a vibe. As Dirty Bob put it:
“The creativity – and fun! – that over 60 performers put into making this video is astounding.”
– Dirty Bob, XRCO Chairman
Fans and pros alike are eating it up. Why? It’s authentic. No corporate polish, just porn stars being their unhinged selves.
Categories That Steal the Spotlight
The XRCOs cover everything from Best Comedy to All in the Family. Standouts include:
- Star Showcase: Angela White’s Fuck Angela and Cherry Kiss’ Cumming to LA are must-watches.
- Best Anal Series: Anal Savages (Jules Jordan) and Tushy Raw keep pushing boundaries.
- Hall of Fame: Brittany Andrews, John Strong, and Dirty Bob himself get their flowers.
Then there’s Superslut, where Cali Caliente and Rebel Ryder are ready to burn the house down. These categories aren’t just awards—they’re a mirror of what’s hot in porn right now.
Why the XRCOs Matter
In an industry flooded with content, the XRCO Awards cut through the noise. They’re not about who’s got the most followers or the flashiest OnlyFans. It’s about craft, impact, and staying power. Nominees like Kira Noir and Vicki Chase aren’t just performers—they’re shaping the game. And with new blood like Gal Ritchie and Addison Vodka in the New Starlet race, the future’s looking filthy.
