Adult entertainment industry award
Original award plaques were made of wood in the shape of a heart and used until 2014 Cast and crew of the feature Not Bewitched on stage during the 25th Anniversary XRCO Awards at The Highlands, Hollywood, CA on April 17, 2009 (from left to right: Nina Hartley , Eva Angelina , Will Ryder , Flower Tucci, Sunny Lane , who is back to camera in yellow dress, Jenna Haze , Teagan Presley and producer Scott David) The XRCO Awards are given by the American X-Rated Critics Organization annually to people working in adult entertainment and it is the only adult industry awards show reserved exclusively for industry members.[1]
Once every calendar year, XRCO members are asked to submit their own nominations. Members do not have to vote in every award category, and they are asked only to vote in areas that they feel qualified in.[2] The award ceremony usually takes place during the spring and no later than the first week of April.[3] Some of the works and workers are inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame during the awards.
The XRCO online archive is missing many results prior to 1993 and the site encourages visitors to send in older results. The awards have been called "an X-rated version of the Academy Awards " and "a combination high-school beer bash, Mardi gras and Frederick's of Hollywood lingerie show".[4] They have also been referred to as the "critics' circle awards for porn".[5]
In 2013, the XRCO Awards venue was changed from The Highlands nightclub [6] to Supperclub LA when the former closed.[7] [8] In 2014, the XRCO Awards returned to the former Highlands venue now called OHM.[9] [10] [11] The 2015 XRCO Awards were held at Lure nightclub in Hollywood on April 11.[10] [12] The 2016 XRCO Awards were held at OHM nightclub in Hollywood on June 22.[13] The 2018 XRCO Awards were held at the Argyle nightclub in Hollywood on June 28.[14] The 2019 XRCO Awards which took place at Boardner's on June 27.[15]
History After the controversy and criticism of the best erotic scene victory for the movie Virginia in 1984 at the Adult Film Association of America (AFAA) awards, the X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) and its "Heart-On Awards", were founded.[16] Jim Holliday was a founder and previously the honorary historian of the X-Rated Critics Organization .[4] [17] [18] [19] After Holliday's death, the position of XRCO Historian was temporarily filled by XRCO founding member Bill Margold until 2006.[20]
The first XRCO Awards were presented on February 14, 1985,[21] where Ginger Lynn won a "veritable Triple Crown: 'Best Female Performer', 'Video Vixen' and 'Starlet of the Year'".[22] Until 1991, the awards were presented on Valentine's Day each year. The specific award categories at the XRCO Awards have changed over the years.[23]
In March 2015, changes to the award program were announced. Citing the venue and date changes made in 2014, the event organizers announced that the awards show would be recorded and broadcast by the company Vrai Voyeur. Also announced was the debut of a new design for the award handed out to winners. The "iconic wooden heart on trophies" would be retired and be replaced with "something bigger and better than ever".[24]
