In einer von Porno-Megastar Maitland Ward moderierten Zeremonie versuchten die XBIZ Awards 2022, sich von der Pandemie zu erholen. Die Preisverleihung wurde von ManyVids gesponsert und fand im Hollywood Palladium in Kalifornien statt.
Vielleicht als Zeichen dafür, dass die Erotikbranche nach zwei Jahren COVID-geplagter abgesagter Veranstaltungen und nur per Stream übertragener Preisverleihungen in diesem Jahr endlich zurückkehrt, fanden die XBIZ Awards 2022 im Rahmen einer glamourösen Nacht statt, die von Maitland Ward moderiert wurde, einer ehemaligen Mainstream-Darstellerin, die jetzt eine der gefragtesten Pornodarstellerinnen der Welt ist. Die Veranstaltung auf dem roten Teppich vor der Preisverleihung wurde von Joanna Angel moderiert.
Zu den größten Gewinnern des Abends gehörten die Firmen Deeper, Jules Jordan, Adult Time, Vixen und Wicked Pictures. Der Preis für die beste Darstellerin des Jahres ging an Emily Willis. Mick Blue gewann in der gleichen Kategorie bei den Männern. Den Preis für die beste Regie konnte Kayden Kross in Empfang nehmen.
