NEW YORK — CockyBoys has announced it has received dozens of nominations for the 2017 Grabby Awards.
Owner and director Jake Jaxson congratulated the industry for all the great work being produced this year from other studios, directors and performers.
"This has become a yearly event that we look forward to, being able to come together and celebrate the art of porn with our fellow producers, performers, fans and friends,” he said. "This year I am particularly excited by our nominations, because the work being recognize is the result of a series of wonderful collaborations with a some of the best in the business. More often than not cynicism, small differences and rivalries rule the day, but being able to make and co-direct ‘One Erection: The Un-making of a Boy Band’, with Chi Chi LaRue has been a highlight both personally and professionally for our studio — which goes to show that good things come when we choose to work together as an industry."
Celebrating 10 years in the business this year, CockyBoys is “especially proud to once again have their work recognized by the Grabby's team of Mark and Staci.” The company reports that it was only a short five years ago that CockyBoys attended their first Grabby's show with the success of their first big feature release, “Project Gogo Boy,” which took home Movie and Director of the Year, amongst other awards.
Jaxson also commented on CockyBoys’ EroticDoc “Just Love” and its nominations, including the “SteamWorks Fan Favorite Award.”
"Once again, this was a beautiful collaboration with Boomer, Ricky, Carter, Jimmy and Levi,” he said. “Their opening up, sharing and being truly "naked" helped create a project that is dear to my heart, as it based on the purpose and mission of our company — to help remove shame from sex, by connecting to and better understanding our sexual self. I am so thankful to of the proud men I worked with everyday, and to my loving husband and co-director, RJ Sebastian, who inspires me and our team everyday to produce the best we can."
This year, CockyBoys will not host the annual Cocky Con, however, the company will host a brunch for friends and fans. While there will be no Cocky Con this year in Chicago, CockyBoys is planning a series of events, parties and appearances to celebrate the 10 year anniversary during NYC Gay Pride in June. Event dates will be released at a later date.
"We have always enjoyed and felt blessed by the community of friends, members and fans that we have gotten to know over the years, because without you, none of what we do would be possible, and we can't thank y'all enough,” Jaxson concluded. “Let's all have a good year.”
