Just scanned through this article on XBIZ: 2020 Europa Awards Nominees.
Made me wonder what constitutes "award-winning" business. I rarely anymore buy adult content from the USA (& never France), barring a few exceptions from some favorite self-shot amateurs on some of the web sites. Mainly, it's pretty much ONLY LegalPorno & its associated labels & STARLETS who I support. Because LP is a clear standout to me in terms of hardcore quality, in a XXX universe that (IMO) has been steadily diminishing in hardcore quality.
I see Giorgio and Julia Grandi's names among the nominees, but few or none of who I consider to be pornworld's greatest XXX performers. You know who I mean. The girls whose performances appear on this site.
Is it just a matter of politics? Self-congratulations among a small inner circle? Or kowtowing to distribution muscle? Because to me, these lists appear to have little to do with recognizing the kind of hardcore eroticism that defines good & lasting XXX in the first place.
Just my opinion.
