Here Are The 2016 Cybersocket Noms, Sponsored By The Year 1986
Here are the nominations for the 15th annual Cybersocket Awards, honoring the very best (and in many cases, the very worst!) in gay porn. (Coverage of last year’s ceremony: videos and photos.) Just when you think you’re starting to mostly agree with a particular category’s long list of nominees, one will pop up and make you say, “The fuck?” That’s just part of the charm of the Cybersockets!
Here are the most significant categories and deserved/ridiculous nominees:

Playgirl? When was the last time you looked at Playgirl on your mobile phone, let alone anywhere? When was the last time you even heard the word “Playgirl”? Looks like someone bought a Cybersocket ad. (But curiously: Playgirl has money to buy a Cybersocket ad?)

This list is nearly identical to last year’s, and it’s filled with the same blogs you’ve either never heard of, or blogs that haven’t published anything in over two years. Also, who knew Randy Blue was a blog? Nice.

This is the most embarrassing and horrific list of nominees in any category. CocksureMen has been recycling terrible European content since 2014. Dallas Reeves, Jason Sparks, and TIMFuck are insane horror shows that should be shut down. Jet Set Men hasn’t released any new content since 2013. Even Dominic Ford himself isn’t stupid enough to watch the content on DominicFord.com. Icon Male forces its models to sleep in a house full of rodent feces. And Playgirl. Did Playgirl spend extra on their ad to make their name appear in ALL CAPS every time?

No, I didn’t type my name in there at the bottom, and no, I didn’t buy a Cybersocket ad. Your guess is as good as mine as to what in the world is going on.

Malachi Marx came back and did two scenes, and he’s up for Best Porn Star? Trevor Knight and Kirk Cummings haven’t filmed any gay porn since like 2011. And while many of these guys deserve to be here, it has to feel pretty gross being nominated alongside someone like Dallas Reeves. Just give this award to Curtis. Or Playgirl.
Notable snubs this year include Jarec Wentworth (if Michael Lucas can be nominated, why can’t a convicted felon?), Tom Faulk, Colt Rivers, Ricky Roman, and Mickey Taylor.
Awards will be handed out in Los Angeles on January 12th, 2016. Location TBD. Full list of nominations here. Fan voting (through December 5th) is here.
