EspañolX-RATED CRITICS ORGANIZATION
(Redirected from XRCO)
'The X-Rated Critics Organization' was founded in 1984 to give writers and editors from the adult entertainment industry a voice in selecting the yearly best in X-Rated movies. The purpose of the XRCO is to award works of "excellence," recognizing specifically the unique qualities of sexually explicit films.
Its original membership included writers from Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia. In 2005 the XRCO welcomed its first Euro confrere.
As the adult medium centralized in Los Angeles, so did the organization's members. With the rise of the Internet, membership has expanded to include writers from major adult web sites. The XRCO remains an organization of, by, and for professional working critics. Voters include writers from a wide range of adult publications and Internet sites.
The first XRCO Awards were presented in Hollywood on February 14, 1985. The original practice was to present the awards on Valentine's Day and it was observed until 1991.
The show is a relaxed, low-key affair, more like a big party than a formal presentation and is now usually staged in the spring of every year. It is the only awards show in adult entertainment that is not open to the general public. Admission is strictly by reservation or invitation only to recognizable members of the adult industry and to the voting members of the XRCO.
Awards are given in some twenty categories, from traditional "Best Movie"-style prizes, to awards that are unique to the XRCO, to those that honor the "achievements" of individual performers (for example, Unsung Siren, Unsung Swordsman). The XRCO's Adult Movie Hall of Fame was the first such and it remains the keystone of the organization. Inductees must have been industry members for at least ten years, and they are chosen with a discriminating selectivity.
The late Jim Holliday was the "Honorary" Historian - a position temporarily filled by founding member Bill Margold until 2006.
Jared Rutter was Chairman of the XRCO from 1984 to 2004, when he stepped down. In appreciation of his past work, the organization continues to recognize him as XRCO's "Honorary Chairman".
In May of 2004, two long-time XRCO members, "Dirty Bob" Krotts and Dick Freeman, assumed co-Chairmanship of the XRCO.
