XRCO Announces Nominees for 2023 XRCO Awards, presented by LoyalFans

The X-Rated Critics Organization has announced the nominees for the XRCO Awards, presented by LoyalFans. XRCO has been giving these awards for nearly four decades. The panel of judges is made up of currently working adult movie critics, both those who write for magazines and for internet publications.

Nice to see nominations for BurningAngel and for alt-friendly sites AdultTime and EvilAngel, along with alt fave directors Ricky Greenwood and Bree Mill. Alt aficionados will be especially pleased to see noms for Ariel Demure, Kira Noir, Lauren Phillips, Lucky Fate, Lydia Black, Maddy May, Maitland Ward, Nathan Bronson, Owen Gray, and Tommy Pistol, which is nice, although a bit less alternative than the 2022 XRCO Awards. Full list is below.

The ceremony will be hosted by Jennifer White and Linzee Ryder, with trophy girls Caitlin Bell and Lily Starfire. The May 11 event is open to all adult industry.
