Pornhub Awards Puts Spotlight on Industry's Best and Kanye West

LOS ANGELES — Winners were revealed last night at the inaugural Pornhub Awards, where members of the adult entertainment industry celebrated the stars, studios, scenes and trends that have attracted the most attention from fans.

Those who attended the presentation at the Bellasco Theater in downtown Los Angeles were treated to a special Kanye West fashion show and dance number that showed off his Yeezy fashion brand, complete with scores of adult stars wearing his custom apparel, recording artist Teyana Taylor belting out a performance and an appearance by West himself.

West, who has previously professed his fondness for Pornhub, even had a hand in designing the uniquely designed orange trophies (picture alien sex toys) that were handed out to Pornhub Awards winners throughout the three-hour ceremony.  

The evening, which included a pre-show red carpet that dazzled attendees and industry photographers, also had performances by Young M.A., Blackbear and a post-show video of West’s yet-to-be-released video, “I Love It.”

A topless Asia Akira was the official Pornhub Awards host for the evening, which also included presentations by Honey Gold, Abella Danger, Angela White, Ana Foxxx, Riley Reid, Adriana Chechik, Lela Star, Bonnie Rotten, Greg Lansky, Abigail Mac and Kendra Sunderland, among others.

For those who couldn’t attend, the show was live streamed by Pornhub in a 3D 360-degree virtual reality broadcast provided by HoloFilm Productions, a leading producer of filmed VR content.

The show’s sponsors included Vice Industry Token, Brazzers, Chaturbate, BaDoink VR, PVR.fun and XBIZ.
