The stars of the adult world descended on sunny Torremolinos, Spain, for the annual Grabby Awards Europe, and what a night it was! The energy was electric, the fashion was fierce, and the trophies found their deserving new homes. If you missed the action, don’t worry—we’ve got the full scoop on who won big and the moments everyone is talking about.
Paddy O’Brian Crowned Porn Star Of The Year
The night’s biggest honor, Porn Star Of The Year, went to the unstoppable Paddy O’Brian. After also snagging the award for Collaboration Of The Year alongside Alex Ink and Justin Jett, Paddy was clearly on cloud nine. He took to social media to share his joy with his fans.
“Porn Star of the Year 2025 at The Grabbys Europe,” Paddy O’Brian shared on X. “I’m overwhelmed with happiness. I have no words. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, especially all my followers and my loving husband.”
It’s a massive win that cements his status as one of the industry’s top talents, celebrated for his incredible performances and genuine connection with his audience.
An Emotional Tribute to a Legend
One of the most moving moments of the ceremony was the posthumous award for Contribution to the Industry presented to the late, great Tim Kruger, who passed away earlier this year. His absence was deeply felt by everyone in the room. According to reports from Queer Me Now, his close friend and colleague Marcel Gassion accepted the award in a heartfelt tribute that left many in tears. It was a beautiful, somber moment to honor a true pioneer who gave so much to the community.
More Than Just Awards: A Community Celebration
The Grabbys are always more than a list of winners; they’re a full-blown festival celebrating European gay porn. The festivities kicked off with a sizzling pool party at the Hotel Ritual, where the iconic Sister Roma delivered a powerful opening speech. She reminded everyone of the importance of sticking together as a queer community, a message that resonated deeply.
And can we talk about the fashion? The poolside catwalk was on fire! Over 30 performers strutted their stuff in a fashion show that was all about sex appeal and personal style, showcasing the personalities behind the performers we love.

The talent pool was deep this year, with some incredible performers getting their moment in the spotlight. American star Derek Kage took home the trophy for International Porn Star, proving his global appeal.
The charismatic Johnny Hakson was crowned Best Twink, while the Best Fetish Pornstar award went to the magnetic Karim Yoav. These wins highlight the diverse range of talent that keeps the European scene so exciting.
