Here are the 2016 XBIZ Award Winners

XBIZ announces the winners of its prestigious annual porn awards…

The 2016 XBIZ Awards Show was hosted last night in Los Angeles, CA, where the winners were announced.  The event was hosted by Stoya and held at the J.W. Marriott, in the heart of downtown LA.  The XBIZ Awards are considered to be some of the most prestigious honors the industry has to offer, so winning one is a pretty big deal.

For those of you who are interested, here’s the rundown of all the 2016 XBIZ award nominees.

Before getting into the winners, its worth pointing out two things.  First, Wanted (Wicked Pictures) proved to be the big winner of the night, earning five trophies, including Feature Movie of the Year and Director of the Year honors for Stormy Daniels.  The second is that neither James Deen or any of his movies won a single XBIZ Award, possibly a telling sign of how far the one-time “Prince of Porn” has fallen after a series of women have come out and accused him of rape and physical abuse.

Anyway, on to the important stuff…
