VAN NUYS, CA — Two of Evolution Distribution’s exclusive studios garner XRCO Award Nominations! For adult fans and buyers “in the know,” the X-Rated Critics Organization is a prestigious group of adult entertainment reviewers that honor studio and performer achievement each year.

Tom Byron Pictures’ Seasoned Players line was nominated this week for Best Gonzo Series for the 2010 XRCO Awards. It was a prolific year for director Tom Byron and the various performers for that line: the Seasoned Players series released four installments in 2009! Seasoned Players 8 stars Kelly Nichols (in a fantastic return to adult cinema!), Devon Lee, Janet Mason, Vannah Sterling and Lola Martin; Seasoned Players 9 features Chloe (in cumback role!), Monique Fuentes, Mika Tan, Brandi Love, and Sheila Marie; Seasoned Players 10 features Tabitha Stevens, Maria Bellucci, Payton Leigh, Kelly Leigh, and Syren Demer; and finally, Seasoned Players 11: Salt & Pepper stars Lisa Ann, Jada Fire, Monique, Zoey Holloway and Alana Evans.

Strap on Sally, a perennial fan favorite from Pleasure Productions studio, was also nominated, in the Best Girl/Girl Series category. Strap on Sally 24 and Strap on Sally 25 (both DVDs featuring Gina Lynn and a bunch of her girlfriends) were released in 2009.

Evolution Distribution, Tom Byron Pictures and Pleasure Production sales and production staff wanted to thank the folks at XRCO. A huge THANKS goes to every adult reviewer and critic out there!

The X-Rated Critics Organization will present the 26th Annual XRCO Awards on April 29th, 2010, in Hollywood.

This year’s show, hosted by Nikki Benz, Lisa Ann and Sean Michaels will be dedicated to the memory of three fallen industry legends, Jamie Gillis, Juliet “Aunt Peg” Anderson and Erica Boyer.
