(HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- The 2008 XRCO Awards ushered in a new era even before the first trophy was handed out. This year’s event featured a new logo, a brilliant new location, superstar presenters and a great turnout.

For the first time the XRCO Awards was held at Highlands Nightclub on Hollywood Boulevard. With the bright lights of a huge mainstream premier just below, hostesses Gina Lynn and Carmen Heart entertained a record turn out for the annual awards show.

''This was huge for me,'' said Gina of her experience. ''The XRCO Awards are always important for our industry, but this year you could just feel the renewed energy. I knew I had to give my best effort and I’m really happy with the way things turned out.''

Thanks to sponsors HotMovies.com, Wicked Pictures and Pink Visual, the 2008 XRCO Awards were bigger and better than ever.
