Hentaied Universe Scores 13 XMA Europe Nominations

Sarah Davis · 2026-08-09

The adult entertainment world is buzzing, and for good reason. The Hentaied Universe has just pulled off an impressive feat, racking up a combined 13 nominations for the 2026 XMA Europe Awards. That's a huge deal, especially for a brand that keeps pushing creative boundaries. All of this comes as the company brings its entire ecosystem under one roof. If you've been following along, you know they've been building something special. Now, with Hentaied PRO, Hentaied, and the brand-new Hentaied Men, they're showing the industry exactly what a modern, multi-brand studio looks like. ### The Big Winners in Nominations Let's break down where all that recognition landed. It's not just about quantity; it's about the quality of the nods. The feature "Head of the Legion" is clearly the crown jewel this year. It snagged nominations for Best Picture, Director of the Year for Individual Work (Roberto Di Suna), and Best Acting for Amirah Adara. That's not all. The chemistry between Adara and Sata Jones in "Head of the Legion" also earned a nod for Best Sex Scene in the Lesbian category. Last year, their feature "Parasited" took home the Best Acting trophy, so they're clearly on a winning streak. ### Directors and Creative Vision The talent behind the camera is getting their due as well. Both Roberto Di Suna and Mark Zicha, who direct for the Hentaied Universe, are nominated again for Director of the Year for Body of Work in the Narrative category. Roberto actually won this very category last year, so the pressure is on to defend the title. ### Hentaied Men Makes a Splash Perhaps the most exciting news is the immediate success of Hentaied Men, their standalone gay site. It launched recently, and it's already making waves with four nominations in the Best Sex Scene Gay category. That's a massive statement of intent for a new platform. The nominated scenes include: - "Glitch" starring Leo Adonis and Minsito - "Mr. Horsecock Pt. 3" starring Ruslan Angelo and Luciano Heart - "Taken as Hostage" also starring Ruslan Angelo and Luciano Heart - "Game" starring Gus Torres and Dimitri Venum To get that level of recognition right out of the gate speaks volumes about the production quality and the performers they're working with. ### Digital Media Recognition for Hentaied PRO The business side of things is also being celebrated. Hentaied PRO picked up three digital media nominations, including Paysite Company of the Year, Paysite of the Year, and Specialty Site of the Year. They previously won Paysite of the Year in 2025, so they're looking to repeat. "We're thrilled with the sheer number of XMA Europe nominations, especially the four we received for our newest site, Hentaied Men, as well as the digital media nominations," says creator and producer Romero, Mr. Alien. "We know Alec and everyone at XBIZ worked hard on the nominations, and we appreciate the recognition and how much time they spent watching our content." ### How to Vote and What's Next If you're an industry member, you have a say in who takes home the hardware. Voting is open on XBIZ.net through August 18th. The team is encouraging everyone to check out their categories and use the hashtag #rockthevote. The glitzy red-carpet ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, September 13th in Amsterdam. It will serve as the grand finale to the XBIZ Amsterdam conference and the inaugural X3 Amsterdam event. For fans and consumers, the Hentaied PRO platform offers access to all ten sites under the umbrella. New members can save over 65% on their first 30 days with recurring billing, which is a solid deal if you want to explore the full universe of content. It's an exciting time for the studio, and with this many nominations, all eyes will be on Amsterdam this September.
