We couldn't do better in describing the goings-on at tonight's XRCO Awards ceremony than to quote from this press release we found on Hardcore Gossip today: "Well it s that time again, time for the industry to cum together all under one roof in the middle of summer and celebrate its own fecund depravity in lavish costume with pomp and excess." Since fecund depravity and lavish costume are two of our favorite things, we're sorry we won't be there - but we'll be sending one of our minions to cover the event for an exclusive report later this week. In the meantime, take a look at the nominations list after the jump and use your imagination.
