Just like at the beginning of every year, the cream of the adult industry gathered at the X3 Expo in Los Angeles for three days of mingling, workshops, conferences, fan meetings, and a lot of partying.
This year’s awards were presented by ManyVids, and the ceremony was hosted by beloved redhead MILF Mailtand Ward, who also holds six XBiz titles herself.
At the end of these three naughty days, the XBIZ Awards for 2022 dropped, and we’re here to give you a brief on the best categories. There are some surprises, but there is no controversy. Everyone was happy and congratulated each other for their wins. Let’s take a look at the big winners!
Feature Movie Of The Year – Muse 2 (Deeper)
Although it’s not a spectacular win, it’s not an anticipated one either. Nobody was expecting Muse 2 to be the big winner of the expo after the last year’s award for the best feature movie went to the first installment of the same series. Although it is the obvious choice for the best production, everyone was expecting the first place to towards another nominee just for diversity. But this series seems to set a new standard for sexual intensity and cinematographic value. The five-part series comes with Maitland Ward in the leading role, getting ravished in the final scene’s gangbang. It also features the BBC impalement of Lulu Chu and an excellently performed twins latex threesomes with Avery Christy and Vanna Bardot.
Female Performer Of The Year – Emily Willis
If you’ve been watching any premium porn in the past year, you surely saw Emily Willis everywhere. She has proven herself to be a petite porn star with the sexual appetite and the endurance of a horny cougar. Although she is 5’5 and only weighs around 110 pounds, this fragile-looking innocent teen was the queen of double penetration lately, taking on the biggest cocks of the industry, including all the legendary BBCs. And she’s also been in a public scandal. Fame and success always bring you enemies, and Emily’s enemies are Gianna Dior and Adria Rae, who launched some nasty rumors on Twitter about the 2022 XBIZ performer of the year.
Male Performer Of The Year – Mick Blue
Mick Blue had the warmest cheering for winning the male performer of the year. Not only that he has had an excellent run last year, but this is an award to thank him for a long, successful, and professional career. He’s been in the industry for a quarter of a century and performed in well over 5,000 scenes. He also helped Emily Willis win her award. Three of their scenes are on Deeper, where you can see how good these innocent-looking performers go together when it comes to on-screen chemistry.
MILF Performer Of The Year – Alexis Fawx
This one was another surprise for the public, who expected a second consecutive win of Cherrie DeVille. But this year Alexis Fawx had proven herself to be more appreciated by both public and critics for her badass attitude. You can even compare them side by side in FFM threesome action. Digital Playground has released such a movie, and there’s also a free gonzo scene Ramon Nomar has uploaded on his PornHub channel.
Best New Performer – Kenzie Anne
This is one of those years when the best new performer is older than the year’s starlet. Kenzie Anne is 28 years old, and maybe that’s why she became such an instant success. She knows what she wants, she has a formidable work ethic, and she’s not afraid of any kink or any cock size. She already had her Blacked debut, she impressed both Manuel Ferrara and Jules Jordan, and she is even better in lesbian porn, as seen on both Slayed and Vixen. Not to mention that she is a gorgeous blonde with both the face and the body of Victoria’s Secret model.
Other Awards
The gonzo movie went to Jules Jordan for his Hot Girl Summer hit, and Tushy Raw won the gonzo series award. Adult Time dominated the girl-girl porn category with the True Lesbian series and Sweet Sweet Sally Mae for best lesbian scene. Evil Angel produced the best trans porn movie of the year, I Am Aubry, with Aubrey Kate leading. But the best trans performer of the year went to Casey Kisses. The gay film of the year is The Last Course, from Disruptive Films, while the gay performer is Michael Boston.
A detailed list of all the other rewards can be found on the official XBIZ Awards website. We’ll be keeping an eye on all the winners to see how they carry themselves on in the following year. It would be best if you did the same.
