Maitland Ward Celebrates 6 XBIZ Awards Nominations

LOS ANGELES — Maitland Ward is celebrating a sextet of 2021 XBIZ Awards nominations for her work with Vixen Media Group's Deeper and filmmaker Kayden Kross.

Ward earned two Best Lead Acting nods, for "Mistress Maitland" and "Muse," and two Best Feature Sex Scene citations for "Mistress Maitland," opposite Pressure, and "Muse" for her fourgy featuring Adriana Chechik, Sly Diggler and Isiah Maxwell.

She is also among the contenders for Premium Social Media Star of the Year and Female Performer of the Year.

At the 2020 XBIZ Awards, Ward walked away with three trophies, including Crossover Star of the Year.

"I'm really proud of the projects Kayden and I have created together this year,” said Ward. “To see them so highly recognized is humbling and such an honor. I love being the face of Deeper.”

The rep noted Ward, her co-stars and production crew "took great care in working [within] the COVID pandemic restrictions to make the films, and that taking the proper precautions to produce their artistic endeavors was '100% worth it.'"

"Muse" earned 10 XBIZ Awards nominations, while "Mistress Maitland" collected six nods; both are contending for Feature Movie of the Year.

“I am so thankful to everyone at XBIZ for their support and these incredible nominations,” Ward added. "It means more to me than you know."
