HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) has released a video announcing the 2020 XRCO Awards nominees that features a litany of popular adult performers. In a statement announcing the release of the video, XRCO suggested the unique presentation of its list of nominees was fitting for what has been a unique year.

“To call 2020 an unusual year would be a tremendous understatement,” XRCO said in its statement. “Our world has been affected in unprecedented ways by the Covid-19 virus, and that includes the adult entertainment industry. To keep performers and industry members safe, awards shows have been cancelled or radically changed. But to borrow a line, the show must go on.

“With health and social distancing concerns foremost on everyone’s minds, adjustments were necessary,” said XRCO’s Dirty Bob. “We knew that the usual industry-only party and in-person awards show with trophies would not be possible in 2020 or anytime soon. We also wanted to make sure to properly honor the nominees and winners this year. Thanks to some creative thinking and a lot of help from our friends in the industry we came up with something fun and hopefully entertaining. We can’t let something like Covid 19 social distancing screw up the 36th annual XRCO Awards Show.”

The video, which can be seen here, includes star performers Alex Coal, Alexandria Silk, Angela White, Aria Khaide, Arianna Marie, Britney Amber, Cherry Kiss, Dani Daniels, Dee Siren, Ember Snow, Evan Stone, Felicia Fox, Gianna Dior, Jada Kai, Jillian Janson, Joanna Angel, Katie  Morgan, Kelli Shibari, Kenzie Madison, Lauren Phillips, Lexi Luna, Luc Wyler, Mike Horner, Miles Long, Porno Dan Leal, Richard Pacheco, Shelby Paris, Tanya Tate, Val Dodds, Will Ryder and others.

“We even had 2 stars come out of retirement just to support the XRCO and participate in this event: Mike Horner and Richard Pacheco,” Dirty Bob continued, noting that XRCO also received video submissions from Europe.
