[Updated] Here Are the 2015 Grabby Nominations

The Sword got an exclusive sneak peek at the nomination list today for the 2015 Grabby Awards, which are going live on the site at noon Chicago time [Update: It’s now 7 p.m. in Chicago and they’re not up there yet, so…].

Here they are! As per usual procedure, the nominations are spread around among all the major studios, and sites like Sean Cody and Corbin Fisher aren’t eligible for the main prizes because they don’t produce DVD content.

A couple new things this year: The awards for Art Direction and Best Non-Sexual Performance are getting nixed, perhaps because there hasn’t been much art direction going on in recent years? (I’ve reached out to show producer and Grab Magazine publisher Mark Nagel for comment on this.) And there’s now a new Best Supporting Actor category, where Tommy Defendi gets a nomination for Dirty Rascals for instance (Connor Maguire is nominated in the Best Actor category), Levi Karter gets a nod for CockyBoys’ Answered Prayers, and Abraham Al Malek gets one for Raging Stallion’s The Tourist. Also, there’s now a Best Twink Performer category so that the twinks don’t have to all vie for Best Bottom with non-twink bottoms, or so that the twink tops don’t all get skipped over completely.

Brace yourself for a flood of reports in the porn press tomorrow with various studios touting various figures of how many nominations they got, claiming the model nominations for their own if that model was exclusive to them or even performed once for them at any point in the last year. Some notable figures: CockyBoys’ Answered Prayers got 8 nominations, including the SteamWorks fan favorite; the same goes for Dirty Rascals and The Tourist, which each got 8, although Dirty Rascals was shut out of the screenplay category for some reason. Ryan Rose got 8 nominations; Colby Keller got 8 as well; Connor Maguire and Boomer Banks are tied at 7 nominations apiece; Rocco Steele, Tommy Defendi, and Sean Zevran each clock 6 nods apiece, with Rocco just a newcomer last year — and Sean Zevran holds the honor of being nominated in the Hottest Top, Hottest Bottom, Hottest Versatile Performer, and Hottest Cock categories.

The Grabby Awards will be held on May 23 in Chicago, over Memorial Day Weekend, and those tickets will go on sale April 8 here. You can book rooms at the official Grabbys hotel, the Hard Rock, right here with a promotional rate of $119/night.

  1. all these awards are more about the before and after parties than anything else. The awards are just ways to try and justify it. No one should take these things seriously.
    As for shutting out bareback porn, who gives a shit. I still say if you have to go bareback for sales then your performers aren’t worth shit and don’t deserve an award any fucking way. If the sex is good and realistic who gives a damn if there is a thin piece of latex in between.

  2. Funny thing is i only subscribe to the BB sites….better content hands down!
    So like the Grammy’s this award is def irrelevant…an award for sucking dick and taking it up the ass.
    Not that’s talent:-)

  3. Hey Grabby’s: Guess what?!?! BAREBACK companies exist and are doing a hell of alot better, and produce better content than alot of the videos you have nominated!!!

    Time to get with the times and open it up. I know your mouthpiece Chi Chi LaRue would rather die than see an award given to a bareback company but alot of us would LOVE to vote for videos that we actually watch and find extremely HOT!

  4. Ridiculous.

    Do you want to create an award that really matters? less non-redundant and more serious categories, and roster of nominations limited to 6 per category.

    And, as much as I am against the concept of bareback in porn, shutting out the bareback content nowadays does not make much sense.

  5. Great to see that one of my favorites, Ryan Rose, is nominated in so many categories: Performer of the year, Best Versatile, Best Supporting, Best Manly Man and Hottest Top. While these porn stars aren’t curing cancer, few of us are, they are providing great entertainment and sexual stimulation for untold numbers of gay men, myself included. For that I say Thanks.

  6. I find it strangely ironic that the majority of sites & companies are Bareback now yet there isn’t any nominees or category or even anything under Fetish for it…yet the content is produced to sell more DVD’s & online mememberships…I guess it still isn’t “mainstream”

  7. more fucking categories & nominees than the Oscars, Grammys & Emmys combined LOL…this is just laughable…cybersockets, hookies, prowlers, grabbys how many awards do you really need to have to legitimize the gay porn industry anways…you’re sucking dick & taking it up the ass GET OVER YOURSELVES ALREADY!!!

  8. The Grabbys will continue to be irrelevant as long as they continue to segregate the gay adult porn industry and refuse to acknowledge bareback companies and performers.
    Hey Grannys – it’s 2015.
