Holy Dillon Diaz Awards, Batman! The popular performer won big at the 2023 XBIZ Awards at the Hollywood Palladium last night, having a hand in three trophies. Raging Stallion also won big with its blockbuster Ride or Die, following up on its success at the GayVN Awards last week.
In addition to Best Feature and Best Director (Tony Dimarco) for Ride or Die, Falcon | NakedSword also won Best All-Sex Movie for its creative project Falcon LIVE: 4 the Fans (the first time XBIZ added an All-Sex category to go alongside Feature). The nominations alone proved groundbreaking for the studio, which in addition to multiple noms in the gay categories was also up for two trophies typically reserved for straight studios: Studio of the Year (the first time a gay studio has been nominated in that category, which covers content across the entire industry), and Best Cinematography for director Marc MacNamara and NakedSword’s Get.Away. (the only gay production named in the category). Dante Colle also picked up a nomination for the all-inclusive Male Performer of the Year award.

Congrats to all the winners!
Best gay performer? Dillon isn’t even gay. Just because he takes a dip in the gay porn genre now and then doesn’t negate the fact you’re more likely to see him eating and fucking pussy while double-teaming some women with another G4P performer.
Does Dillon Diaz have any scenes with asians? As an asian fan, I love Dillon’s work and would love to see him film with cody seiya, luke truong, or jkab ethan!
None of the movies/scene or performers are on my list. This seems to be awards arranged between the same studios. Jayden Marcos has great scenes with Nextdoor and no award… “Between us” laureates.
Fixed.
