Chicago – The X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) has announced Fans Only 1 & 2 from Vandercom Films as a nominee for Mainstream Crossover or Documentary at the upcoming 42nd Annual XRCO Awards, scheduled for May 24, 2026 at Boardner’s in Hollywood.
Founded in 1984 by Dirty Bob, the XRCO was created to give adult video reviewers and editors from the adult entertainment industry a voice in selecting the yearly best in X-rated movies. This marks Bentley’s second nomination from the XRCO, which has been recognizing excellence in adult entertainment since its inaugural awards show in Hollywood in 1985. The XRCO stands as the second-longest running awards show in the industry, second only to the AVN Awards.
“I’m really looking forward to the XRCOs and seeing everyone again,” said Director Joel Van der Molen. “Last year was a blast, and this year we’re excited to have Billy once again rolling the camera for ‘FansOnly, Episode 3.’ We are truly honored by the nomination and want to extend our sincere gratitude to Bob and the Awards.”
Tommy Gunn echoed the sentiment, “When I heard the news about the nomination, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s great to be recognized for the work that Joel, myself, and the entire cast and crew have all contributed. This was definitely a passion project; we felt it was finally time to shed a more realistic portrayal of an industry that is so often looked down upon. There are some truly amazing people in this business, and it’s been quite the journey working alongside Joel and our videographer, Billy, who has a real gift for bringing out the honesty in people and capturing it perfectly. I also want to extend a sincere thank you to Bob and the XRCO for this incredible honor.”
The 42nd Annual XRCO Awards will take place on May 24, 2026, at Boardner’s in Hollywood (1652 N. Cherokee Ave). The event will feature a red carpet beginning at 6:30 PM, followed by the awards show at 9:00 PM.
