LAist Was There: XBIZ Awards 2010
Female Performer of the Year winner Tori Black, accompanied by Tee Reel, at XBIZ Awards 2010
Last night, local adult publication XBIZ held their eighth annual XBIZ Awards in Hollywood. Newly relocated this year to Avalon from Boulevard 3, the celebratory industry gala presented awards in 67 categories, including Feature Movie of the Year (Adam & Eve's The 8th Day), Female Performer of the Year (Tori Black), Female Acting Performance of the Year (Kimberly Kane, The Sex Files: A Dark XXX Parody), and New Starlet of the Year (Kagney Linn Karter).
"The awards program drew 1,000 enthusiastic attendees who honored the businesses and performers that define the industry," reported XBIZ. TMZ was also on the red carpet and "...teased the segment on TMZ.com today with the following dialogue: 'So we went to the porn awards — not the AVN awards — the XBIZ Awards... They’re the 'Daytime Emmys' of porn.'"
Look for additional photos from last night as well as last month's AVN Adult Entertainment Expo and AVN Awards (delayed due to computer trouble) in the near future.
