Grabbys postponed a week, going online

The Grabbys have revealed that awards will be handed out a week later than initially planned. And even though the organizers had hoped to hold the event live and in person, it has -- as with most things these days -- been relegated to the Internet.

The event was planned for May 23, but will now air on May 30, starting at 8:30 pm EST.

“Despite the unfortunate situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, the show must go on — safely,” said show producer Stacy Bridges in a statement. “We’re excited the GRABBYS is the first gay erotic award show to be live-streamed, providing more fans the opportunity to join the celebration for free! And unlike our live-stage productions, the show this year will feature adult material, such as X-rated film clips for ‘Best Movie’ nominees!”

The show will last about 90 minutes and feature co-hosts Chi Chi LaRue and Honey West.

“We are thrilled to be working with our friends at the GRABBYS to stream their highly anticipated ceremony live on our GayVN Stars platform,” said AVN Media Network CEO Tony Rios. “We're looking forward to seeing all the fans of adult entertainment worldwide come together online for this special interactive broadcast event.”

There will also be a pre-show, hosted by comedian Alec Mapa. You will need to be a member of stars.gayvn.com to watch it (though you can sign up for free to watch the show, but won't have access to content created by other members).
