Digital Playground Receives 45 AVN Nominations

Leading adult entertainment studio, Digital Playground today announced industry accolades with a most impressive 45 nominations as given by the 25th Annual AVN Awards committee.

One of her most recent titles, Jesse Jane: Image also captured a nom for Best High-End All-Sex Release, a category brand-new to AVN this year.

Proof-positive that Digital Playground cultivates the hottest talent in the world, comes by way of Best New Starlet nominee and contract superstar-in-the-making, Shay Jordan™.

Her simply "must see" two-scene performance was just released in HD DVD and can now be viewed in High-Definition the way it was intended.

Famed director, Robby D also received recognition for his contributions made from behind-the-lens and captured Director of the Year (Body of Work) and Best Director, Non-Feature (Babysitters) nominations.
