CHATSWORTH, Calif.—New Sensations and Digital Sin combined to garner 28 nominations for the upcoming 2019 AVN Awards.
Among its honored films, the acclaimed romantic-comedy Love In the Digital Age leads the pack with eight nominations, including Best Comedy, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.
Written and directed by Jacky St. James, Love In the Digital Age marks the celebrated filmmaker's triumphant return to romance and is the first release for New Sensations Romance since 2014's AVN award-winning Second Chances.
“AVN has supported me in my career from my first year in the business—with a nomination for Dear Abby—to present day,” Jacky St. James said. “I was thrilled to see the recognition for Love In the Digital Age across all facets of production. Thank you for acknowledging a film that I consider one of my best to date!”
Love In the Digital Age stars Gia Paige as Sara, an internet-obsessed millennial, who on a dare, gives up her smart phone and social media and discovers love is far more rewarding when your head is out of the cloud.
Paige's portrayal of Sara puts her in the running for Best Actress - Feature. Logan Pierce, who plays her once embittered love interest in the film, is also nominated for Best Actor in the category.
AVN award-winning cinematographer and editor Eddie Powell is nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Editing for his outstanding work on Love In the Digital Age. The film’s fun and uplifting score is also up for Best Soundtrack.
Powell is also in the running for Director of the Year and shares a nomination for Best Director - Non-Feature for Digital Sin's Schoolgirl Bound 5 with frequent collaborator and fellow award-winning director Paul Woodcrest.
Woodcrest's Innocence of Youth 10, a milestone entry in Digital Sin's groundbreaking, ama-loli fashioned young-girl series, scored nods for Best Cinematography and Best Ingénue Movie. In addition, Digital Sin's artistic all-girl imprint The Lesbian Experience received nominations for Best All-Girl Series and Best Older Woman/Younger Girl Movie for Women Loving Girls 3.
New series My Wife’s First Blowbang impressed out the gate, earning New Sensations nominations for Best Oral Movie and Best Oral Sex Scene for Kristen Scott’s performance in the debut volume and Emily Willis’ in My Wife's First Blowbang 2. The studio continued to be recognized for its hotwifing projects across the board, picking up nominations for Best Polyamory Movie for Watching My Hotwife 3, Best Gangbang for My Hotwife's Gangbang 4, and Best BDSM for Hotwife Bound 3.
