XBIZ is pleased to announce the nominees for the 2023 XBIZ Awards, the most comprehensive showcase of outstanding achievements across the global adult industry, spanning 1,206 nominees across 109 categories.
The 21st annual XBIZ Awards, set for Sunday, Jan. 15, at the historic Hollywood Palladium, will once again serve as the capstone event to “XBIZ week” and X3 Expo.
This year, in recognition of short-form narrative releases, XBIZ has introduced two new categories: Featurette of the Year and Best Sex Scene — Featurette. The awards program will also recognize outstanding performer firsts, with the new category of Best Sex Scene — Career-First Performance, while Gay Movie of the Year has been expanded into two categories: Gay Feature of the Year and Gay All-Sex Release of the Year.
In keeping with tradition, select award categories under Web & Technology, Pleasure Products, and Retail will be presented as part of the annual XBIZ Honors ceremonies.
