Si è tenuta la cerimonia di premiazione degli XBIZ Awards 2023 presso il famoso Hollywood Palladium, con Joanna Angel e Small Hands come padroni di casa. La serata è iniziata con un tappeto rosso sfarzoso, presentato da Kenzie Taylor e Kenna James, dove tutte le star del settore si sono presentate per mostrare i loro abiti migliori. L’evento è stato il culmine di una settimana piena di azione, che ha incluso l’XBIZ Show 2023 e X3, una delle più grandi esposizioni di creatori di contenuti per adulti al mondo. Durante la serata sono stati premiati i migliori professionisti e le migliori aziende dell’industria per i loro contributi e il loro impegno nel settore. Gli XBIZ Awards rappresentano uno dei punti di riferimento per il settore dell’intrattenimento per adulti (insieme agli AVN Awards, andati in scena solo qualche giorno fa) e sono riconosciuti a livello mondiale come uno dei premi più prestigiosi per le eccellenze nel campo pornografico. Tra i vincitori non risulta nessun italiano, a differenza degli AVN Awards.

Female Performer of the Year XBIZ Awards 2023

La notte degli XBIZ Awards 2023 è stata una serata memorabile per Vanna Bardot, star pornografica statunitense che lavora in esclusiva con Slayed. Vanna Bardot ha vinto tre statuette, tra le quali, il premio Female Performer of the Year, riconoscimento che premia l’eccezionale talento e l’impegno della performer nell’anno. La vittoria di Bardot rappresenta un grande traguardo per la sua carriera. Kira Noir, che solo pochi giorni fa aveva vinto il premio Female Performer of the Year agli AVN Awards 2023, non è riuscita a fare la doppietta vincendo anche agli XBIZ Awards 2023.
