Industry awards such as the Grabbys are not only an opportunity to celebrate the men that fuel our fantasies, but they’re also an important lever in the marketing and promotional campaigns for performers focused on building their brand and growing their audience.
The nominees have been announced and public voting is now underway.
Let’s take a look at the field in each of the categories so that you can carefully consider who is getting your votes.
Hottest Twink
- Alex Gonz
- Bad Boi Benvi
- Canyon Cole
- Darron Bluu
- Dex Devall
- Grant Ducati
- Jake Preston
- Jamar West
- Lucien Sin
- Max Mabry
- Mikey Vega
- Noah White
- Seth Peterson
- Silas Brooks
- Spikey Dee
- Trevor Harris
- Zac Steele
There’s a lot of worthy contenders in this field. We adore Bad Boi Benvi, Seth Peterson is an accomplished performer, and Zac Steele always has our attention.
Hottest Top
- Adam Snow
- Carter Woods
- Cliff Jensen
- Dom Llamas
- Drake Von
- Guy Spencer
- Jason Derek
- Jayden Marcos
- JJ Nova
- Justin Matthews
- Kev Inspiring
- Legrand Wolf
- MaXXX Schlong
- Reece Scott
- Sir Peter
Who is going to be voted Top of the Tops? Adam Snow brings Top energy to everything he does but it’s hard to go past the Portuguese god that is Sir Peter.
Hottest Bottom
- Andrew Delta
- Cade Cain
- Gordon Saucedo
- Jace Starr
- Jamar West
- Jax Thirio
- JJ Nova
- Kyle XX FTM
- Lucien Sin
- Mikey Vega
- Milo Miles
- Noah Asli
- Noah White
- Rob Montana
- Trevor Harris
Andrew Delta is excellent at taking dick, but we could also make a case for Milo Miles. He’s super-intelligent and articulate – nerdy bottom boys are hot, right?
Hottest Daddy
- Ace Banner
- Adam Snow
- Beaux Matthews
- Bruce Jones
- Cain Marko
- Daddy Patrick
- Dane Hardon
- Derek Kage
- Dillon Diaz
- Greg Dixxon
- Jake Apton
- Jason Derek
- Kev Inspiring
- Legrand Wolf
- MaXXX Schlong
- Reece Scott
Men like Reece Scott and Daddy Patrick are straight out of Central Casting for horny Dads, but we’re loving that Dillon Diaz has embraced his daddy-era – it would be great to see that celebrated.
Hottest Cock
- Adam Snow
- Alex Kof
- Bull Boss Josh
- Chris Damned
- Cliff Jensen
- Elijah Zayne
- Jake Andrich
- Jake Apton
- Jason Derek
- Jayden Marcos
- Legrand Wolf
- Lucien Sin
- MaXXX Schlong
- Nico Coopa
- Rhyheim Shabazz
- Serg Shepard
- Spikey Dee
- XXL Huge Twink
We’re fans of cock whatever shape or size it comes in, so this is a tough choice, but it kind of has to be Alex Kof, right?
Hottest Body
- Beau Butler
- Cade Maddox
- Derek Kage
- Dick Dawson
- Dylan Tides
- Hazel Hoffman
- Jack Xtra
- Jake Andrich
- Jake Apton
- Jayden Marcos
- Lane Colten
- Lucien Sin
- Reese Rideout
- Rhyheim Shabazz
- Santana XXL
- Vincent Grey
- Zander Woodz
This is a difficult category to judge – are we voting on the body that we most enjoy seeing naked or the body most likely to land an underwear ad campaign? There’s something kind of perfect about Beau Butler’s furry physique, but then Rhyheim Shabazz looks like he’s carved from marble which is also compelling.
Hottest Content Creator
- Brandon Cardoso
- Darren Bluu
- Darryl Ryder
- Dom Llamas
- Drake Von
- Dylan Tides
- Hazel Hoffman
- Jake Andrich
- Jake Apton
- Julian Barboza
- Kyle XX FTM
- Lucien Sin
- MaXXX Schlong
- Mikey Vega
- Rob Montana
- Santana XXL
- Sean Xavier
- Serg Shepard
- Silas Brooks
- Spikey Dee
- Zander Woodz
Content creation is the name of the game but we probably need some more definition on what “hottest” means in this context if we’re going to be comparing apples with apples. Drake Von seems to have mastered much of what is required to be a successful content-creator in today’s adult entertainment industry – that deserves some recognition.
Performer of the Year
- Adam Snow
- Alex Kof
- Beau Butler
- Daddy Patrick
- Derek Kage
- Drake Von
- Jake Apton
- Jayden Marcos
- Joey Mills
- Legrand Wolf
- Nico Coopa
- Ryder Owens
- Serg Shepard
- Silas Brooks
- Spikey Dee
All of the Grabby Awards are worth winning, but Performer of the Year is the big trophy that recognises someone at the peak of their career. This is a very strong field so it’s hard to predict who will triumph, but it’s hard to think of a more deserving winner than Derek Kage – he’s a professional who works hard and loves this industry.
Best Versatile Performer
- Cole Blue
- Cole Connor
- Darron Bluu
- Derek Kage
- Dominic Pacifico
- Dylan Tides
- Greg Dixxon
- Jake Apton
- Jake Waters
- Jayden Marcos
- Kev Inspiring
- Nico Coopa
- Ryder Owens
- Silas Brooks
- Sumner Blayne
- Vincent Grey
- Zander Woodz
Versatile men are top-tier. Cole Connor always gives 100 percent, but maybe this could be Nico Coopa’s year?
Best Actor
- Adam Snow – Hung Fuckers
- Carter Woods – Breaking Free
- Darron Bluu – Darron Fills Eddie With Big Cock
- Derek Kage – Wild Game
- Jake Apton – Snake Charmer
- Johnny Donovan – End Of Your World
- Leander – The Devil You Know
- Legrand Wolf – Funsized Boys
- Milo Miles – Twink Top
- Nico Coopa – Double Booked
- Paddy O’Brian – The The Nines
- Paul Wagner – Wild Game
- Serg Shepard – 12 to 8: Wednesday
- Serg Shepard – Midnight Rider
- Sir Peter – The Barcelona Job
Great to see Leander getting some recognition for his work on The Devil You Know, but this trophy probably belongs to Paul Wagner for his performance in Wild Game – if you were going to be hunted by anyone, you’d want it to be Paul Wagner.
Best Supporting Actor
- Blain O’Connor – Wild Game
- Derek Kage – Double Wide
- Eddie Burke – The Way to a Man’s Heart
- Gustavo Cruz – 12 to 8: Wednesday
- Jake Mathews – The Devil You Know
- Jayden Marcos – Wild Game
- John Jai – The Devil You Know
- Justin Matthews – End Of Your World
- Kyle Wyncrest – Double Booked
- Leander – The Devil You Know
- Miles Fallon – Wild Game
- Rhyheim Shabazz – The Barcelona Job
- Ryder Owens – End Of Your World
- Sir Peter – The Devil You Know
End Of Your World was a parody of The Walking Dead, so we could see Justin Matthews or Ryder Owens recognised for surviving the zombie apocalypse, but my money is on Blain O’Connor for bringing the crazy to Wild Game.
Best Newcomer
- Cade Cain
- Darryl Ryder
- Dio Ferrero
- Jake Apton
- Jamar West
- JJ Nova
- John Jai
- Kyle XX FTM
- Mikey Vega
- Miles Fallon
- Nicholas Michaels
- Q Moore
- Vincent Grey
- Zander Woodz
This has been a big year for Miles Fallon – he’s filmed major studio productions, he’s smashed it on social media, and he brings his eager little bro energy to everything he tackles.
Best Director – All Sex
- Alter Sin and Ben Rush – Spain In The Ass 2
- Ben Rush – Ten Out Of Ten
- Brian Fitzgibbons – International Transfer 2
- Danny Zeeman – Cockaholics Anonymous
- Jake Jaxon – Fuck Around and Find Out
- Jasun Mark – Deep Ends
- Jeremy Babcock – Double Booked
- Rex Marco – Capo Dei Capi
- Steve Cruz – Hardwood Lodge
Spain In The Ass 2 was a big production to wrangle, but we loved the ambition of Capo Dei Capi from Rex Marco.
Best Director – Movie/Web Series
- Alter Sin – French Connection
- Alter Sin – To The Nines
- Ben Rush – Bred and Breakfast
- Ben Rush and Jessica Jasmin – Wild Game
- Jeremy Babcock – Double Booked
- Legrand Wolf and Foxtrot – Deeper Deep Throat
- Micah Martinez – Active Duty
- Micah Martinez – End of Your World
- Rex Marco – Capo Dei Capi
- Ryan Brian and Jasun Mark – Double Wide
Alter Sin had some great work on French Connection, but the energy of Wild Game will probably see the trophy going to Ben Rush and Jessica Jasmin.
Best Threeway Scene
- Ace’s Boys – Ace Banner, Dex Devall, and Marcus McNeill
- ASG Auditions – Serg Shepard, Kyle Harper, and Derek Spears
- Break for Cole – Adam Snow, Cole Blue, and Noah White

- Nico’s First Threeway – Jayden Marcos, Nico Coopa, and Evan Knoxx
- The Covenant – Ace Banner, Dylan Tides, and Reece Scott.
- The Devil You Know – Leander, Ross Hurston, and Adam Tyrant
- Wyld Ryder Loves DP – Wyld Ryder, Brogan, and Kev Inspiring
We’re spinning the roulette wheel on this one – so many great threesome scenes to choose from, and a lot of our favourite performers represented. Hard Working Tools featuring Magnus Loki, Justin Jett, and Serg Shepard brought three outstanding men together, so that’s worth celebrating.
Best Duo
- French Connection – Andolini XXL and Hugo Dupre
- Up Blacks Crack – Archer Black and Silas Brooks
- Ride Me – Benvi and Zen Goken

- Bred and Breakfast – Paul Wager and Sir Peter
- My Boy Zac – Reece Scott and Zac Steele
- Training Howls How To – Rob Montana and Grayson Howls
- End Of Your World – Ryder Owens and Noah Asli
Reece Scott and Zac Steele created some magic with their scene but we do have skin in the game with this category – No Loads Refused was a co-production from Squirt Studios, so we’d love to see the award going to Nico Coopa and Serg Shepard.
Best All Sex Movie
- 12 to 8: Wednesday
- Capo Dei Capi
- End Of Your World
- Flash Bang
- Global All Stars Orgy
- Hall Pass

- Midnight Rider
- Red, White, and Bred
- Ride Me
- Spain in the Ass 2
- Spikey Dee and Joey Mills
- No Loads Refused
- Ten out of Ten
- The Whole Package
- Trying New Things
We’re really proud of No Loads Refused – we’d love to see some recognition for the work of director Micah Martinez and performers Serg Shephard and Nico Coopa. If you want a horny movie to fuel your fantasies, this is it!
Best Group Scene
- Boy Unchained
- Cosa Nostra Gangbang
- Casa Iquitos Gangbang
- Christopher White CumDump
- Drake Von and Friends
- Global All Stars Orgy
- Hog Heaven
- Jets Collab Week – Naked Beach Orgy
- Red, White, and Bred
- Derek’s First Gonzo Gangbang
- Ritual Orgy of Muscle
- Wild Game
The best group scenes generally convey the raw, unbridled sexual energy you feel with a roomful of men all getting it on – you don’t want it to be too choreographed or controlled. Which is why Hog Heaven – the annual Pig Week orgy from Don Llamas gets our vote.
Favorite FTM Performer
- Adam Cyrus
- Andy Deviance
- Asher James
- Austin Spears
- Chance Heart
- Coby Webb
- Colby Tate
- Gray West
- J London
- Joey Michaels
- Kyle XX FTM
- Noah Way
- Stevie Trixx
- Tommy Tanner
- Tommy Topii
It’s hard to go past Stevie Trixx – he’s been in this game a while and knows how to produce quality content.
Best Movie/Web Series
- 12 to 8: Wednesday
- Active Duty – Operation Weekend Off Base
- Bred and Breakfast
- Capo Dei Capi: Cosa Nostra
- Deeper Deep Throat
- End Of Your World
- French Connection
- No Loads Refused
- The Devil You Know
- Wild Game
No Loads Refused has got to win something, right? Could it be this one?
Best Screenplay
- 12 to 8: Wednesday
- Bred and Breakfast
- The Devil You Know
- To The Nines
- Wild Game
- French Connection
- Deeper Deep Throat
- End Of Your World
- Welcome Home
- Double Wide
We liked the narrative strands of Bred and Breakfast. Also, Wild Game was a well mapped-out storyline. But maybe we’d give this trophy to French Connection? There’s a lot to love about a man with a French accent.
