Hosted by Ron Jeremy, Jenna Jameson, and a handful of other stars, the five-day event was graced by a break in the tropical storms affecting the East Coast and even featured a on-stage marriage proposal made by Nightmoves National Features Editor Art Koch.
“This year’s show was a fantastic success and I’d like to thank all the studios and stars for their support,” said Paul Allen, publisher of Nightmoves magazine. “It is always an honor to have our industry cohorts in town to celebrate.”
“We are thrilled to award Digital Playground Best Production Company,” Allen said. “They’re always a pleasure to work with and everything that comes out of their offices, from Jesse Jane to the award-winning ‘Jack’s Playground’ series, reflects high production values and quality.”
During the course of the ceremony, Digital Playground also took home the Editor’s Choice award for Best Adult Website for its web show “DP Tonight,” hosted by contract stars Jesse Jane, Devon and Teagan Presley, and Best Overall Series for Robby D’s “Jack’s Playground.”
