LOS ANGELES – The Cybersocket Awards Show makes its return to West Hollywood for its 22nd annual edition on Tuesday, May 24. Presented by Streamen and Chaturbate, this year’s show will be hosted by RuPaul’s Drag Race personality and fan favorite Pandora Boxx and will feature “special appearances by Drag’s Baddest Bitch, Rhea Litre, and sex pot pop star Onicks,” Cybersocket noted in an announcement this week.
This year’s red carpet interviews will be hosted by adult film director Mr. Pam and Teddy Bear, host of Cybersocket’s Bear with Us, Gurrrl podcast. Pup personality Zac Snow will serve as the onstage escort, while DJ and porn personality Brandon Wilde will “keep the beats going throughout the night,” starting with his preshow at 6:30 pm.
“We are so excited to be back, in-person, bigger and better than ever,” said Cybersocket Director Alexander Rodriguez. “This year’s awards reflect the diversity and advancements personalities in front of and behind the camera have made, even during COVID. This year’s event will be a delicious mix of red carpet fabulous and community fellowship, featuring the top names of the industry. This will be a night to remember.”
The Cybersocket Awards will have a “new look and revamped format” this year, Cybersocket said in its announcement, noting that the show is taking place at “West Hollywood’s hottest new venue,” Heart. The red carpet event will kick off at 6:30pm and will include a private VIP reception for nominees and show sponsors. The event is also open to the general public, with awards show itself starting at 8pm.
A completely fan-driven awards event, nominees in a wide variety of categories were voted on in a “record-breaking online ballot process,” Cybersocket said in its announcement.
“In addition to the usual Top Cock, Epic Ass, and Performer of the Year, the awards will include Power Verse, Pup, Go-Go Boy, and Bear of the Year,” the company explained. “This year’s nominees include not only studio and cam performers, but also Fan Site personalities as well. Included in the business and LGBTQ lifestyle categories are Best Gay Bar, Best Gay Resort, Best Gay Sex Podcast, and Best Gay Apparel company of the year. Cam site Chaturbate will also present an award for their top performer.
This year’s festivities will also include the Cybersocket Legacy Award presented to veterans Chi Chi LaRue and Trenton Ducati for their career-spanning work in the industry.”
