Adult Empire has announced the winners of the 2024 Adult Empire Award, with Tiffany Watson taking the title of “Pornstar of the Year,” alongside winners in a dozen other categories, including new categories the “Creativity Award,” “Lifetime Achievement,” and “Comeback Star of the Year.”

Watson’s work in 2024 included appearing as Elegant Angel’s latest “Squirtwoman,” bringing the series back after a five-year hiatus.

“It is such an honor, truly, to be named and awarded this considering all the hard work that I’ve put into my career,” Watson said. “I set the bar pretty high for myself this year. I made some goals and to say I achieved those goals would be an understatement. It was just such a great year, and I’m really proud of myself for all the hard work I put in.”

Another of the big winners this year is Leilani Li, who captured the prize for New Performer of the Year.

“I did always tell myself it would be cool to like, be nominated or receive awards,” Li said, “so to be nominated and able to receive this award is a really surreal and happy feeling.”
