LOS ANGELES—Sunny Leone, who continues to be one of the leading stars in the adult film world, has seen her production company SunLust Pictures' meteoric rise as well as crossing over to mainstream in a big way with her appearance in The Virginity Hit. Capping off this amazing year, Sunny and SunLust were honored with 13 AVN Award nominations including five for SunLust’s monster hit Gia: Portrait of a Porn Star.

“I had such a good time with Tori,” added Sunny. “She is so beautiful and we had great chemistry on set. I am honored by the nomination for 'Best Actress,' but being naked with Tori was a lot more fun than learning dialogue."
