Fans of X-Rated Entertainment

Fans of X-Rated Entertainment (F.O.X.E., also known as FOXE) is a United States based pornography fan organization founded by adult film actor, director and critic William Margold and actress Viper.[1] It advocates against censorship of pornography and gives annual adult film awards.

Awards

The annual FOXE awards ceremony presents three standard awards, decided by fan vote: Male Fan Favorite, Female Fan Favorite and Video Vixen for a new female performer. Additional special awards, including Fan of the Year[2] are presented some years. In the 1990s, the Fan Favorite awards were often shared, but Vixen was always for one recipient. Since the 11th FOXE awards, the ceremony has included a "Broast" (a "benign roast"[3]) of a well-known performer who also receives a lifetime achievement award. Any performer winning Fan Favorite three times is "retired" with the FOXE X award, and they become ineligible for further awards.[4] Holders of the FOXE X include Tera Patrick, Nina Hartley, Ashlyn Gere and Jill Kelly.[5] Ceremony attendance fees go to support anti-censorship causes.

The FOXE awards have been compared to the People's Choice Awards.[6]
