Emma Rose Makes History With 2022 XBIZ Awards Noms

LOS ANGELES — Emma Rose has received four nominations from the 2022 XBIZ Awards and has become the first trans performer to earn simultaneous nods for the all-inclusive categories "Best New Performer" and "Premium Social Media Star of the Year" in addition to "Trans Performer of the Year."

She is also contending for "Best Trans Sex Scene," shared with Dante Colle for "TS Factor 15" from Evil Angel.

"I was so happy and honored when the nominations came out," Rose said. "I was really excited that a trans performer could get nominated for two categories that are usually only given to cis female performers. I always enjoy breaking stereotypical barriers. I have some incredible industry friends and fans around the world —I hope everyone will vote for me and help me win."  
 
The 2022 XBIZ Awards will crown the best-of-the-best in adult Sunday, Jan. 9 at the historic Hollywood Palladium. Voting is now underway; click here for a full list of nominees.
