MONTREAL, Quebec  – Hard X’s acclaimed gonzo “Abella” was named Best Star Showcase at the 2017 AVN Awards on Saturday night. Featuring superstar Abella Danger and directed by Mason, the film also received Best Double Penetration Sex Scene (Abella Danger, Mick Blue, Markus Dupree). The awards were among the five received by Hard X and sister studio Dark X.

The evening also included awards for Hard X’s “Anikka vs Kelsi” (Best Big Butt Movie), Hard X’s “Facialized 3” (Best Oral Movie), and Dark X’s “Her 1st Interracial” (Best New Series).

“Hard X was built around Mason’s stylized performer showcases, and we believe every showcase we put out is deserving of the award each year,” says Jon Blitt, head of production for Hard X and Dark X’s parent company, O.L. Entertainment. “Congratulations to Abella, as she did a phenomenal job, and the fans and critics loved the movie.”

In 2014, Hard X burst on the scene, as its showcase “Anikka” received Best Star Showcase from AVN, as well as Best Director, Best Tease Performance, Best Anal Sex Scene, and Best Three-Way Sex Scene. That year Hard X was also named Best New Studio.

Hard X and Dark X productions use gorgeous locations and high-end production values to capture the beauty of the performers and the passion of the sex. In contrast to its sister studio, Erotica X, movies from Hard X and Dark X include the wildest, kinkiest, and dirtiest sex available to fans, all featuring a trademark style developed by Mason.

Hard X’s official membership website, www.HardX.com, and Dark X’s website, www.DarkX.com, feature all of the studios new scenes upon release.
