New Sensations/Digital Sin Receive 41 XBIZ Award Noms

LOS ANGELES — New Sensations/Digital Sin received a combined 41 nominations for the 2016 XBIZ Awards, including Studio of the Year honors and Director of the Year - Body of Work slots for each of its talented and renowned filmmakers — Jacky St. James, Eddie Powell, and Paul Woodcrest.

"The Submission of Emma Marx: Boundaries" earned 13 nominations, among them Feature Movie of the Year and directing and screenplay honors for Jacky St. James. The film also locked in nominations for BDSM Release of the Year and garnered best acting recognition for leads Penny Pax and Richie Calhoun and supporting players Riley Reid and Logan Pierce.

Matching "Boundaries" in its 13 nominations was New Sensations "Tales From the Edge" series. Launched in late 2014, the line blossomed this year with the release of its scripted and cinematic vignettes set in the enthralling and provocative worlds of swinging, BDSM, and hotwifing.

Leading the "Tales From the Edge" nominations was wife-sharing dramedy "The Swing Life," picking up multiple slots in the couples categories, including Couples-Themed Release of the Year, Best Scene, and best acting nods for Keira Nicole and Chad White. "A Hotwife Blindfolded 2" was up for Vignette Release of the Year and earned St. James a directing nomination for best Non-Feature Release, her third director nomination for the 2016 XBIZ Award Show.

Digital Sin's award-winning "Tabu Tales" line is nominated for five awards, among them All-Girl Release of the Year for "Sisterly Love 2," All-Girl Series of the Year for "A Mother Daughter Thing," and Vignette Release of the Year for the sex-comedy "Kinky Wedding Day," which is also up for two Best Scene nominations.

Digital Sin's acclaimed flagship series "Meet..." and "Innocence of Youth" took slots for Best Performer Showcase and Best Scene - Vignette for "Meet Aidra Fox" and "Innocence of Youth 8," respectively. "Shane Diesel's Black Bull for Hire," a hotwifing series presented from the "bull's" perspective, wrangled a nom for All-Sex Series of the Year, while "Innocence of Youth" spinoff "Innocence Bound" scored Eddie Powell his second directing nomination for the 2016 XBIZ Award Show.

"XBIZ has always been a huge support of our studio and my work and I’m thrilled by all of the nominations for our company," Jacky St. James said.

New Sensations/Digital Sin President Scott Taylor said, "We're grateful to XBIZ for the acknowledgement they have given our studio and directors and the movies we all pour our creative energy into producing. This year saw the release of our much anticipated Emma Marx sequel 'Boundaries' and the growth of our series, 'Tales From the Edge.' Response for both has been phenomenal and to receive this recognition from XBIZ caps the year off nicely and inspires us for what's next."
