One of the most important events in the industry, the 2022 XBIZ Awards, is upon us. It’s fair to say that what the Oscars are to mainstream cinema, the XBIZ Awards are to the porn industry, with the event itself rewarding the best preformers, productions and adult companies of 2021.
The ceremony was hosted live by Maitland Ward, at the historic Hollywood Palladium, and the red carpet host, which was packed to the brim with the biggest stars, was Joanna Angel.
There were a number of excellent productions competing for Feature Movie of the Year, which definitely stood out from the crowd in various ways, but it was Muse 2 from Deeper that won the award. The film also won Best Screenplay and Best Cinematography, with Maitland Ward winning Best Acting – Lead for her role as a sexual psychology professor.
Despite the high acclaim, Casey: A True Story did not win either movie of the year or best trans award. The production only managed to win Best Editing, while the award for Trans Movie of the Year went to Evil Angel studio’s I Am Aubrey, which is part of the popular ‘I Am’ series and combines behind-the-scenes footage, interviews and sex scenes featuring award-winning Aubrey Kate.
The category that always generates a lot of excitement is Female Performer of the Year, and this time was no different, with Emily Willis winning the award again, and for the category that is always hugely competitive, the MILF Performer of the Year, Alexis Fawx won her first XBIZ award.
