AMSTERDAM — Serg Shepard has received three nominations for the 2026 XMA Europe Awards, one for Gay Performer of the Year and two in the Best Sex Scene — Gay category.
Previously nominated for the 2024 XMA for Best New Performer, Shepard's first XMA Europe nominations include nods for NakedSword's "Ashes Before Dawn" with Paddy O'Brian and Sir Peter, and for "In the Depths" from Raging Stallion Studios with Dato Foland and Allen King.
"I am beyond excited to be nominated for the first time for XMA Europe, and to compete in categories with the best of gay performers alongside some of my lovely colleagues and friends," he enthused. "This year I had the lucky chance to work on some massive projects thanks to director Alter Sin, and I'm so happy, humbled, and honored that my favorite threesomes from both of these movies of his were nominated for Best Gay Scene."
Set for Sunday, Sept. 13, in the vibrant city of Amsterdam, the red-carpet extravaganza will once again serve as the grand finale to a series of industry events, including XBIZ Amsterdam conference and the inaugural X3 Amsterdam.
