Grooby Scores 11 AVN Award Nominations

LOS ANGELES, CA – Grooby received an impressive 11 AVN Award nominations, including a coveted nomination for ‘Best Trans Movie or Series’ for Cloudy Vi is the Bride, featuring 2024 Grooby Brand Ambassador Cloudy Vi.

“I’d always wanted to do a full wedding scene as there is something so delicious about a bride in a full white dress, and getting to see up that dress, so when our 2024 Brand Ambassador suggested it, we were all in,” says Grooby CEO, Steven Grooby. “Cloudy is so pretty with that air of innocence, like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth – but we all know better. Radius Dark brought his usual great eye to the set, and the co-performers here were excellent, Pierce looking every bit like the Groom. Anyone watching should see the passion Cloudy brings to this project.”

“I’m so grateful for all of the nominations,” adds Cloudy Vi. “Thank you so much to everyone who has enjoyed the passion I bring to this industry. Your love and support make everything possible. I couldn’t have made it here without you all. I’m excited to see what the future holds for us, together.”

Grooby also received a nomination for its movie ‘Once Upon a TS Summer,’ which marks the directorial debut of 2026 AVN nominee Blake Lovely. 2025 Grooby Brand Ambassador Avery Lust also received a nomination for her scene on GroobyVR.com, along with a nomination for the 2026 AVN Trans Performer of the Year.
