On the Scene: Backstage at the 27th Annual XRCO Awards Show

The 27th Annual X-Rated Critics Organization Awards Show recognized the best in adult entertainment in more than 20 categories, from the traditional "Best-Movie" style prizes to awards honoring the work of individual performers like the "Unsung Siren" or the "Unsung Swordsman." The tradition of having the show in Hollywood on Valentine's Day was discontinued, but the XRCO Awards remains a staple of the adult industry every spring since the inaugural ceremony back in 1985.

This is the only awards show in the adult industry that is not open to the general public and as such, admission is strictly by reservation only and invitations are limited to recognizable members in adult entertainment and to voting members of the organization. L.A. After Dark went backstage to bring you every tantalizing moment.
