YNOT – The fifth annual Tranny Awards, presented by Grooby.com, celebrated transsexual adult entertainment in high style Sunday night. A gala ceremony overflowing with industry luminaries, live entertainment and joie de vivre took place at Beyond the Stars Palace in Glendale, Calif.

Following a red-carpet procession, Ru Paul’s Drag Race alum Jujube hosted the festivities, during which statuettes were presented to performers, films and websites that “excelled in tranny adult media” during the previous year.
