Well, the Grabbies finally have some competition!

The 1st annual Str8UpGayPorn Awards will be held June 22 in New York City, and will honor outstanding achievement in gay adult film. And get this, Sandra Bernhard will be hosting the event.

 

According to Bernhard: “Sometimes you just get lucky, and someone says, ‘Hey, do you want to put yourself out on a limb and go crazy?’ No one will be the wiser, and you might end up falling in love, hence, me hosting the Str8UpGayPorn Awards. Yes, it’s so right!”

 

There will be 17 categories spotlighting the very best in gay porn, with winners determined by a carefully selected group of  judges from the world of gay media. The categories will range from the classic Best Performer, Best Feature and Best Studio, to some yet to be named unique categories that only Str8UpGayPorn can concoct. The full list of nominations will be announced on April 11th.

 

“It’s a fabulous honor to officially sponsor the Str8UpGayPorn Awards," said Corey Price, the Vice President of Pornhub. "June 22nd will be a night to remember as we celebrate and recognize the outstanding achievements in gay adult film, and ring in Gay Pride weekend in New York City. We’re especially excited about Sandra Bernhard hosting. There are few performers more qualified, and even fewer who can light up a room quite like she can.”

 

Str8UpGayPorn editor Zachary Sire added: “Given all the Str8Up coverage on the evolving intersection of sex, news, entertainment, and porn, having a show like this where we can celebrate everyone in such a fun and high profile way was a clear choice. ... and as a lifelong fan of Sandra Bernhard’s, I am literally dying that she is hosting our show. It’s a dream come true, and I just hope I can stay alive through June 22nd!”

 

Can't make it to see the show? No worries, as the event will stream live on Str8UpGayPorn. This way you can watch the event like you watch your porn: naked, dick in hand, while sipping a glass of champagne!
