Chicago was buzzing as the 2025 Grabby Awards took over Boystown, bringing together some of the biggest names in gay porn for a night that was equal parts fun, sexy, and full of love. Fans, stars, and industry folks packed the venue to celebrate the performances, scenes, and people that defined the past year. Between heartfelt speeches, wild crowd energy, and a few surprise wins, the Grabbys once again reminded everyone why it’s the gay porn event of the year.
There were many categories spanning over the entire night, so let’s see our winners!
Best Performers: Rhyheim Shabaz & Adam Snow
This is the big one — the award that honors performers who have gone above and beyond all year long. It’s not just about looking good (though, yeah, that helps), but about bringing it in every scene: chemistry, versatility, energy, and that can’t-take-your-eyes-off factor.
Best Newcomer: Mateo Tomas & Dex Devall
Every year, a new face emerges and captures everyone’s attention. The Best Newcomer award goes to the rising star who made a significant impact right out of the gate; someone who didn’t just dip a toe in but dove headfirst into the industry and left us all wanting more!
Best Actor: Rob Montana
It’s not just about the sex! It’s about selling the story. This award celebrates the performer who brought real emotion and character to the screen.

Drake Von? Really? No.
