And the Nominees Are… Spank Bank Awards 2019

It’s that time again! Time for the most irreverent, engrossing, and extensive awards in the adult industry: the Spank Bank Awards. Show host for life Missy Martinez revealed the nominations via podcast for the 9th annual Spank Bank Awards presented by iafd.com. while eating mozzarella cheese sticks as trophy girl Charlotte Sartre cooled Miss Martinez’s freshly waxed butthole with a fan of palm fronds.

The Spank Bank Awards were founded on the ideals of all inclusive, good natured fun, with categories giving recognition to the performers in the adult industry who may (or may not) receive the accolades they so richly deserve from some other awards shows. Once again, this year’s list includes a record number of major categories for female performers, as well as those for the directors and male talent within the industry. And, as usual, there are plenty of ‘technical’ awards as well (to be given out on the red carpet before the awards ceremony) giving kudos on a wide variety of subjects.

Leading the way in nominations this year are Adriana Chechik, Maddy O’Reilly, and Riley Reid all receiving 19 nominations each, with Abigail Mac, Casey Calvert, Kristy Black, and Whitney Wright hauling in 18 apiece. Rounding out the top nominees are Abella Danger, Angela White, Charlotte Sartre, Haley Reed, Kira Thorn, Lisey Sweet and Violet Monroe all receiving 17 noms each.

Winners will be announced as soon as we wring every last piece of social media traffic out of this… so in a couple weeks. :-)

The XBIZ Awards honors the very best in the business of sex and is set to fill the largest ballroom in Los Angeles — the Westin Bonaventure Hotel — where the adult film legend Ron Jeremy will be featured as master of ceremonies for the red-carpet gala.

A star-studded affair that attracts the industry elite, the XBIZ Awards show, celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2017, recognizes outstanding achievements across every facet of the multibillion-dollar business, including movie production, pleasure products, technology and retail.

Since its inception, household names from the world of adult have hosted the gala, including Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick, Jesse Jane, jessica drake, Kayden Kross and James Deen. Its worldwide reach has led to international media coverage from renowned outlets such as the L.A. Times, CNBC, TIME, Cosmopolitan, New York Magazine, Huffington Post and The Daily Beast, among others.

The XBIZ Awards will once again coincide with the industry’s trade events series of the year, XBIZ 2017, which annually features an unparalleled lineup of guest speakers and special events dedicated to exploring the future of the adult industry.
