The Sword is in Chicago for The Grabbys and the International Mr. Leather competition, but we aren’t leaving you behind. In fact, we’re hoping you’ll come rescue us.

Yes, The Sword has totally shifted into US Weekly mode. With summer right around the corner, we thought we’d check in with our favorite paragons of aesthetic virtue to see how porn stars prepare themselves for the never-ending scrutiny of the beach paparazzi.

Ricky Sinz, Brent Corrigan and Logan McCree were the big winners tonight, leaving the Castro Theatre ceremony with multiple awards each. And to nobody’s surprise, epic snuff film To the Last Man took home the Best Picture.

Lady Bunny’s hilarious cameo in Lucas Entertainment’s new film Brothers’ Reunion is a perfect example of making the most of only a few seconds of screen time. 

This year’s nominees for the Grabby Awards–which round out the ever-glamorous gay porn awards season with a ceremony/party in Chicago, two months after the GayVN Awards–have been announced!

It’s not often that a porn flick gets a premiere–these are the days of straight-to-DVD and straight-to-web porn releases, after all.  But Raging Stallion Studios went all out to promote their latest extra-violent porn epic, To the Last Man.

The 2009 GayVN nominations are out, kids!  As per uje, there are about nine thousand of them!  And did we mention this year’s porn oscars are going to be QUITE A SHOW?

During his eight years as a Special Forces Sergeant First Class in the US Army, Ricky Sinz killed 28 men. As one of Raging Stallion’s newest stars, Sinz has fucked his way across eight films and countless co-stars.

This summer’s big Raging Stallion production, To The Last Man, is about ranchers in a drought. But Arizona (where they’re filming the epic) is having it’s rainiest summer in over 25 years. Luckily, the men at Raging Stallion have made do with a little creativity and a lot of sex good humor luck. We stopped by to see the boys this in between floods.

When we visited the set of Raging Stallion’s To The Last Man, we didn’t exactly have books on our mind. But then we watched as Logan McCree and Damien Crosse fought over a book about angels (truth be told, one of them just wanted it to block out the sun), RJ Danvers poured over comics wrapped in plastics, and Tristan Jaxx sat reading with such intensity that we could only guess he’d unearthed The Fountainhead, or perhaps the new E. Lynn Harris tome. Boy, were we wrong.

Below, a selection of what we found laying around the set, and to whom it belonged.

Forty-eight hours later we’re still unsure whether we should report some of this past weekend to the police, but one thing is for sure: the 2008 Grabbys were a rollicking good time without the pressure or the pomp of the GayVNs. Maybe it was the table service or maybe it was that it’s hard to get too worked up about not winning “Hottest Bottom.” Either way, if that’s an award show, we’ll have a double.

After the jump, some of our favorite off-stage moments.

We’re confused as to what day it is, and where this inflatable sheep came from, but the 2008 Grabby Awards are over and all for the better. We’re not that young anymore and the penicillin isn’t as effective as it used to be. So while we sober up and try to find our underwear, here’s a quick look at the winners of the 2008 Grabbys.

Like a once-in-a-lifetime confluence of astronomical events, the International Mr. Leather Expo is happening in Chicago this weekend AT THE SAME TIME as the infamous Grabby Awards.  The Sword will be covering the weekend live-blog style, in association with Fleshbot.  After the jump, a refresher (in case you missed them the first time) on this year’s Grabby nominees.

Thanks to a few well-placed handjobs and a bottle of Kahlua, we’ve weaseled our way into Grabby headquarters and stolen the list of nominees that’s scheduled to be published tomorrow. We started to tally the studio with the most noms, the movie with the most noms and the studio with the most movies and, well, wait… what were we saying? Sorry, we totally fell asleep. It doesn’t really matter since there’s enough noms here for each studio to spin, Bush-style, an edge up on the competition. By noon tomorrow, everyone will be in the lead.

This may be the first year that the GayVNs best the Golden Globes in viewership, and we couldn’t be more pleased: not only has our industry’s little fete grown in recent years, the clothes are more exciting. No offense to Valentino Garavani or Domenico Dolce, but porn star fashion — with it’s reliance on mesh, mess and meth — is infinitely more exciting. We’ve got 35 days until we can bring you the new Spring Collection, so until then, here are the nominations …
