The 2026 XBIZ Awards (XMAs)

Updated · reviewed by a human

The XBIZ Awards, branded the XMAs, are XBIZ’s annual adult-industry awards show — the 2026 edition was held Sunday, January 18, 2026 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, and the winners and nominees documented here are each sourced to XBIZ.com.

Who won the 2026 XBIZ Awards (XMAs)?

The XBIZ Awards, branded the XMAs, are XBIZ’s annual adult-industry awards show; the 2026 ceremony was held Sunday, January 18, 2026 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, and XBIZ’s nominations announcement counted 2,201 nominees across 120 categories.

This page documents 101 creators with a page on this registry: 41 winners and 60 nominees, each sourced to XBIZ.com’s winners list or nominations announcement.

Winners here include Jennifer White (Female Performer of the Year), Octavia Red (Girl/Girl Performer of the Year), Ariel Demure (Trans Performer of the Year), Cubbi Thompson (Best New Performer), NakedBakers (Female Streamer of the Year), Sarina Havok (Trans Streamer of the Year) and Emma Magnolia (Female Creator of the Year).

This is our researched coverage of the creators on this registry, not the ceremony’s full results — XBIZ named winners and nominees we haven’t individually verified, so a name missing here means we haven’t documented her placement yet, never that she didn’t place.

It is a different show from the May 2026 XMA Creator Awards in Miami, which has its own roster page.

The documented roster · 101

This page lists the winners and nominees documented on this registry — not the ceremony’s full results, which ran across far more categories and names than we’ve individually verified. A name missing here means undocumented, never unlisted by XBIZ itself. XBIZ prints stage names without handles, so each placement is matched to a page by the printed stage name or a documented alias of hers; where XBIZ’s spelling differs from the page name, the card says so. Winners trace to XBIZ.com’s winners list (January 18, 2026) or XBIZ’s own profile of the win; nominations trace to XBIZ.com’s November 19, 2025 nominations announcement, including the nominations mentioned in winners’ notes. Scene-category wins are shared credits among the performers XBIZ names. This is a different show from the 2026 XMA Creator Awards, Fansly’s creator and streamer awards at XBIZ Miami in May, documented on our separate XMA Creator Awards page (/xma-creator-awards-2026) — notes here that mention the May show come from that roster’s own sources — and from the XMA Europe awards.

Quick answers

What are the XBIZ Awards?

The XBIZ Awards, branded the XMAs, are the annual awards show from XBIZ, the adult-industry trade publication; XBIZ bills it as the industry’s biggest night. For the 2026 show, peer voting opened November 26, 2025 on the industry network XBIZ.net, with fan voting for the ten Fan Favorite categories (Fav Female Star, Fav Newcomer and so on) opening the same day.

When and where was the 2026 XBIZ Awards show?

Sunday, January 18, 2026, at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. XBIZ names Violet Myers and Kazumi as the hosts, with Melissa Stratton hosting the red carpet; Wet Ink Magazine’s recap of the night names the same two hosts.

Who won Female Performer of the Year and the other headline categories?

Among the creators documented here: Jennifer White won Female Performer of the Year, Octavia Red won Girl/Girl Performer of the Year, Ariel Demure won Trans Performer of the Year, Cubbi Thompson won Best New Performer and Ryan Reid won Best Lead Actor. In the streamer and creator categories, NakedBakers won Female Streamer of the Year, Sarina Havok won Trans Streamer of the Year, Emma Magnolia won Female Creator of the Year, Kyaa Chimera won Fetish Creator of the Year and Elly Clutch won Creator Duo of the Year, with Jak Knife. The fan-voted Fan Favorite winners documented here are Violet Myers (Fav Female Star), Aubrey Kate (Fav Trans Star), Leana Lovings (Fav Girl/Girl Star), Brittany Andrews (Fav MILF Star), Karla Lane (Fav BBW Star), Little Puck (Fav Cosplay Star) and Violet Voss (Fav Fetish Star). Winners of categories with no page on this registry, such as the male, MILF and gay performer awards, aren’t listed here.

How is this different from the XMA Creator Awards?

Both use the XMA name, but they are different shows. The XBIZ Awards (XMAs) documented on this page were held January 18, 2026 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles and include performer, movie, streamer and creator categories. The 2026 XMA Creator Awards (/xma-creator-awards-2026) is Fansly’s separate creator and streamer show at XBIZ Miami in May 2026. Category names overlap but the awards are separate: NakedBakers won Female Streamer of the Year in January while Bunnydollstella won it in Miami, and Sarina Havok won Trans Streamer of the Year in January while Carrie Madsin won it in Miami. The XMA Europe awards are a third, separate show.

Are the people on this page real?

89 of the 95 have a page with a documented real-person verdict, built from public evidence. The other 6 are unverified: their pages say plainly that realness is still unproven, and nobody on this roster is called fake. A win or nomination is a documented fact about a stage name at a ceremony, not a verdict by itself, which is why each card links through to the fuller evidence page.

How should I read the Best Sex Scene wins?

Scene categories credit every performer in the winning scene, so a scene win on this page is a shared credit. We list the category name only. Performer of the Year, streamer, creator and Fan Favorite wins are individual awards, and the Fan Favorite categories are decided by fan vote.

Is this the complete list of winners and nominees?

No. XBIZ named winners and nominees across far more names than have a page on this registry, so this page covers only the creators we have documented. A name missing here means we haven’t documented her placement yet, never that she didn’t place.
