Chicago – When 2025 began, we were fresh off seeing Cali Caliente take home some of the most prestigious awards and nominations of her career. She is, after all, one of the true sexual prodigies within this generation’s era of porn. Critics all said that she would one day be in this place; her career has come to now, and it is with so much pride that she and Red Bottom Productions announce that she has been nominated for Best Lead Actress at the 2026 XRCO Awards for her role in Shadows of Trust. One of the highest-grossing films in the company’s history, as well as one of the first times Cali Caliente graced the RBP stages and set the world on fire with yet another type of nomination and talent attribute under her belt. All with the help of Red Bottom Productions’ largest investment of 2025, a film that continues to establish Red Bottom Productions and Cali Caliente as the forces of nature within the adult film industry that they now are.
I was honored to be included in the production of Shadow of Trust. Mr. Red wanted to make a statement with this film. It’s been highly reviewed, and the fans loved it. I think he did a great job at picking out the talent. I’m extremely excited and grateful for my nomination, and I hope we all win”! – Cali Caliente
This is the second group of voters who have seen such excellence within this character role Caliente played within Shadows of Trust. Red Bottom’s plan from the start was to showcase Cali Caliente in a way that no one else had before. That was the promise that brought this beauty to Los Angeles to shoot what was at the time Red Bottom Productions’ highest budgeted film. A sexual satire that takes more than just a performer who can look sexy in front of a camera, but an actress who can bring the audience to their knees in other ways. That is exactly what Cali Caliente and Red Bottom Productions set out to do with this prestigious 2026 XRCO Awards nomination.
