(HOLLYWOOD, CA) — Sexy adult contract starlets Kayden Kross (Digital Playground) and Dylan Ryder (Bluebird Films) graced the stage last month at the 2012 XRCO Awards where Kross and Ryder played hostess to the annual industry-only party and helped pay tribute to the best and brightest in_XXX for the year 2011 (releases from Jan 1 through Dec 31, 2011).
The 28th Annual XRCO Awards Show was held on Thursday, April 12 at the Hollywood Highlands and featured a number of memorable moments. The beautiful hostesses kept the evening hopping and hot from the very beginning. Mixing in plenty of fun along the way Kross did an impressive job in return to hostess duties.
“XRCO was a blast as always,” says Kayden. “Dylan Ryder was a great co-host and the night was relaxed and fun. I always look forward to it.”
In a change from past tradition, the XRCO Hall of Fame inductions kicked off the evening.
“Mike Moz suggested that we change things up a bit and do the Hall of Fame at the beginning of the show rather than midstream during the evening, and this worked quite well,” revealed XRCO Chairman Dirty Bob when asked about the slight rescheduling of the order of presentation. “I was quite pleased that most of the ‘Hall of Fame’ inductees were able to attend in person and accept their award. Just seeing their heartfelt gratitude and happiness when they were inducted makes the entire evening, and all of the year-long work involved making it happen, worthwhile.”
Big individual winners this year included India Summer, who won two awards including “MILF of the Year,” and stunning superstar Asa Akira who was named both_”Superslut” and “Female Performer of the Year.” Her star vehicle “Asa Akira is Insatiable 2” from Elegant Angel was named “Best Gonzo Movie of the Year” as well.
It was an equally big night for Elegant Angel. In addition to the win for “Asa Akira is Insatiable 2” the powerhouse production company also scored wins for their huge hit “Portrait of a Call Girl.” The movie was named “Best Epic” and scored hardware for its lead actress Jessie Andrews and director, Graham Travis for “Best Actress” and “Best Director, Feature” respectively.
“I’m very honored to receive the awards from XRCO for ‘Portrait of a Call Girl’,” says Travis. “To receive this recognition from such a historic organization of critics means so much to me and the whole team who did such an amazing job on this movie. Thank you XRCO.”
