The Cybersocket Web Awards happened at Penthouse nightclub in West Hollywood last night, and Chi Chi LaRue was there in a top hat to MC the proceedings.
If you weren’t aware, the Cybersockets are put on by Cybersocket Magazine, which as the name suggests is a title that refers to the early days of the internet when it was all about “cyber” things and “web surfing,” and it’s a free mag that’s stacked up in nightclubs with lots of ads for porn sites. And the annual awards are somewhere behind the Grabbys in terms of world influence and importance.
As XBiz reports, winners this year included Pierre Fitch for Best Webcam Performer, Icon Male for Best New Site, TimTales for Best European Porn Site, and Bel Ami for Best Video Site.
Sebastian Kross took home the Best Newcomer prize, which is not a shock, and NakedSword won Best VOD Site, but there were a couple odd choices in the Surfers’ Choice categories. A Helix scene from June, titled either “Menage a Trois” or “Two Americans for a Frenchie” depending on who you ask, with Blake Mitchell and boyfriend Casey Tanner having a threeway with French Twinks model Camille Kenzo, won Best Porn Scene, which seems like kind of an out-of-nowhere choice and I demand to see the vote tally. And while his cock is certainly huge and hot, Antonio Biaggi won Best Porn Star despite not making a scene for a studio or site besides his own BiaggiVideos.com in years. But if he’s the “surfers’ choice,” who am I to argue.
Below, some photos of the party from mr. Pam and some tweets, as well as the complete list of winners.

Colby as best personality, and Cocky Boys were deserving winners .
I would have liked to have a bit of love for the sensational Mr. Pam, Steve Cruz, and yes ( don’t neg me) Michael Lucas.
Keith Webb, and the terrific Jasun Mark were ignored at Titan, too.
WOW so many good performers don’t even get a mention – so sad!
! ‘Princess’ Blake from Project Runway !
Does that coked out old whore Chi Chi host everything? And Gerard Courcy aka Damon Kruezer aka Kent Barclay is probably seething in rage that his object of rage and jealousy (because you know, it’s an actual blog and not bloviating like GC/DK/KB), Zach Sire was a big winner last night.
when you’re broke you gotta do what you gotta do.
As a short person and a so called “midget” I am proud that one of our fellow little people kind are going to such great heights.
who are those two kissing in the photo? (in the second-last row)
