Exclusive: Austin Andrews Named 2012 Grabbys Co-Host

This wasn’t supposed to be announced until later tonight, but I’ve just been tipped that AustinZane.com founder and performer Austin Andrews has been voted in as the “fan favorite co-host” at this year’s Grabby Awards in Chicago. He was up against Scott Spears, Trevor Knight, Dean Flynn, and Spencer Reed. As co-host, Austin joins already named emcees Chi Chi LaRue, Honey West, Adam Killian, and Tom Wolfe.

While he’s not exactly a porn household name yet (that’s him in the middle above, with performer Bret Myles on the right and site co-founder Zane Michaels on the left), his fanbase is loyal and loud. I’ve only done a handful of posts on him and AustinZane.com, but the number of outgoing clicks from The Sword to that site has dwarfed the traffic to all my other affiliates, including several big studios, so I’m not surprised he won. Most importantly though, Austin is a really nice guy!

The Grabbys are on May 26th, and this year’s nominees will be revealed later tonight.

And in case you missed it, here’s a hardcore preview of AustinZane.com:

  1. There are some way over the top nasty, vindictive comments being made here. It’s 2012 not 1950; Zane and Austin were totally honest when they founded the site; predominantly gay for pay, they have been careful who they have employed, there are tens of thousands of guys only too willing to have gay sex be it for whatever reason, money, fame etc. They have built up a loyal following from all around the world, including myself from England. They improve the quality with each new vid, model etc. I know nothing of the Grabbys other than it’s an awared ceremony, and yes like the Oscars there must be a ‘well it’s your turn to win now syndrome’; looking at the nominations there are so many duplications it quite frankly is a bit of a mockery, but the occasion is a chance for people in the industry to meet up. Yes, I too hope they do not join up with any of the major studios and cut their own path to success. The market for manufactured gay sex videos is crowded with the same old faces, doing the same old (sometimes bile making) videos. I’m sure the majority of us gay men do not enjoy being pissed on, have horrible things shoved inside us, made to have enemas, beaten up, the list goes on. AZ produce quality intimate videos of ‘normal’ guys having a great time and giving the viewers pleasure in watching them. Advice to them: ignore the haters, avoid the people who want to screw you over because of your success, be true to your goals and success in all you do!

  2. I’m a big fan and have been a satisfied member of their site from day one. It’s great to see that these guys siezed an opportunity and appear to be achieving some success. I hope that AZ doesn’t sell their soul to the world of La Rue and that gang and are able to continue to blaze a new trail without losing their unique point of view. AZ’s detractors are pretty nasty, but they continue to be positive and focused. They appear to be genuinely nice guys. Kudos to them.

  3. I’m sorry but austin and zane are fucking gay!! u can’t do what they do and not have feelings for one another.

    p.s. i love there videos together!!

    I can’t pass up an opportunity to comment on this. First and foremost, who the hell gives a damn about this tacky ass show? Is this some kind of sick joke? A bunch of damaged, attention seeking men, most of which, are G4P, giving out awards to see who can take it up the ass the best. Real damn classy……….yeah right!! Anyway, I’m not all that keen about either of the guys that run AustinZane.com. I’ve seen some of the content and being brutally honest, it wasn’t all that. They might’ve been into one another, but the sex was just….whatever!!! Because of the whole B.S. G4P factor, I have no plans of ever financially supporting AustinZane.com. Way too many guys in the industry are so terrified of being something other than straight, that they’re willing to keep up all kinds of false appearances just to hide who they are and please the rest of this ass-backwards society. If the two guys are close as they claim to be, that’s cool, I understand that. But common sense will tell you that no two men as friends, who are only attracted to women, have any desire whatsoever to be sexual with one another. If these two men have any sort of sexual relationship with one another, and still proclaim to be straight, not only are they lying to themselves, but they’re lying to people that are closest to them. They are making a fool of themselves. But hey, it’s their life and they can do as the please. At least I have the pleasure of already knowing who I am, and have no intentions of keeping up a false appearance, and making an ass out of myself at the same time.

  5. Oh sweet….Isn’t he the one who just had a baby? Perhaps all the gay for payers’ wives and children should be treated as VIPs. I mean they have to sacrifice so much because gay men demand straight men in gay porn.

  6. ‘Straight’ obviously means a lot of different things. Most of the time, just another synonym for ‘gay’? Does anyone care? (Forgive me for yawning.) Still, Austin is truly TRULY wonderful.

  7. Man those guys are freakin’ gorgeous! I have seen some of their stuff and they are both fantastic performers. However, they claim to be ‘straight’. Um, no. If you have that much dick up your butts, you are not straight. Bi, maybe. I just wish they would admit it. The Valentine’s vid of them didn’t seem made up. There were no openly gay guys available?

    1. The blond with the fast-receding hairline is tolerable I’ll grant you. But “Austin” is givin’ me Michelle Bachmann “crazy eyes” here. And the one on the right is all squinty-eyed and weasel-faced (though he does have a big dick IIRC – he also did that jerk-off video with his father at SCM *shivers*).

    2. You’re right James It didn’t. It was actually pretty hott. I got a boner watching those two, which doesn’t happen very ofter when watching porn. I also agree with some of the other posters here where you can’t be doing what they do and claim to be straight. It’s not like this is mainstream film where the sex is simulated. When it’s clear that two guys are on camera having sex with each other it just doesn’t seem honest.

  8. Congrats to AZ! They’ve had some especially hot scenes as of late, and they both seem like nice, regular guys who just happen to do porn. Hopefully Zane will make it out to the Grabbys as well!

    1. Well, I think with two drag queens and the masculinity of Tom Wolfe sucking up all the air in the room, there won’t be too much for our poor lil’ straight-boy-next-door-who’s-just-so-nice-and-wholesome-but-also-happens-to-do-gay-porn *whew* … to do. He’ll be like the Grabbys’ “Miss Golden Globe”. LOL!
