In an industry that’s always moving, some nights are simply special. For rising star Addyson James, this past weekend marked one of those career-defining moments as she stepped onto the stage at the 41st Annual XRCO Awards in Hollywood, not just as a nominee or guest, but as a presenter.
The XRCO Awards are legendary in the adult world. Bypassing the glitzy, fan-voted extravaganzas, this is an intimate, industry-only affair where the critics and insiders honor the year’s best. Being asked to present is a significant nod of respect, and Addyson was buzzing with excitement.
“Presenting at XRCO is not just an honor; it’s a celebration of creativity and passion within the adult industry,” James shared. “It feels incredible to be recognized among such talented individuals who push the boundaries of art and expression.”
A Star on the Rise
For those following her fast-moving career, this moment feels like a natural next step. Represented by Nexxxt Level Talent Agency, Addyson has been turning heads with a string of impressive performances for top studios like Team Skeet, MissaX, Nubiles, and Adam & Eve, proving her versatility and star power.
Her agent, Jonathan Morgan, co-owner of Nexxxt Level, couldn’t be prouder, seeing this as a major milestone.
“This is a huge opportunity for Addyson!” Morgan said. “XRCO is such a respected event in the adult business and for Addyson to be a part of it is huge for her. She’s going to do great as her personality will shine at this event.”
Celebrating the Craft
Held at the historic Boardner’s in Hollywood and hosted by industry icons Lisa Ann and Skin Diamond, the XRCO Awards have a unique vibe. As the original source NexxxtLevelTalentAgency.com notes, the event started back in the “glory days” and maintains its reputation as a place where the art form is genuinely celebrated. Addyson’s role as a presenter placed her right at the heart of that celebration.
This kind of recognition from the X-Rated Critics Organization is often seen as a sign that a performer is respected not just for their popularity, but for their contribution to the craft. It’s a testament to the passion that Addyson herself spoke about, and fans on social media were quick to share in her excitement, flooding her X (formerly Twitter) account with messages of support.
