The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) just dropped the news we've been waiting for: the 43rd Annual XRCO Awards will happen on Sunday, May 23, 2027. And yes, it's going down at the legendary Boardner's in Hollywood. This isn't just another awards show. It's the night when the adult entertainment industry comes together to celebrate the people who make it all happen. Think of it as the Oscars of adult content, but with way more personality and a lot less tuxedo drama. ### What Makes the XRCO Awards Special? Founded back in 1984, the XRCO Awards have been around longer than most of us have been alive. That's over four decades of honoring the best performers, directors, producers, and creators in the business. What sets them apart? The voters are actual critics and writers who cover the industry day in and day out. They're not just picking names out of a hat. - Critics-only voting means the winners are chosen by people who really know the work - The XRCO Hall of Fame inducts legends who've shaped the industry - Categories cover everything from mainstream adult to niche genres The whole thing has a community vibe you just don't get at bigger, more corporate events. It's intimate, it's real, and it's been held at Boardner's for so long that the venue feels like part of the family. ### What to Expect in 2027 XRCO Chairman Dirty Bob couldn't hide his excitement. "The energy from this year's awards made it a no-brainer to start planning for 2027 right away," he said. "We can't wait to bring everyone back to Boardner's for another night that celebrates the incredible talent in this business." Awards Show Coordinator Alexander Raymond added, "Each year we grow while keeping that close-knit, community-driven feel that makes the XRCO Awards unique. We're already cooking up ideas to make the 2027 show unforgettable." Here's what we know so far: - Date: Sunday, May 23, 2027 - Location: Boardner's, 1652 N. Cherokee Ave, Hollywood - Hosts and presenters: To be announced later - Sponsorship opportunities: Available now The organizers are keeping some details under wraps, but that just adds to the anticipation.
