(Pittsburgh, PA / November 20, 2015) — Online retail and entertainment giant Adult Empire (AE) and its production label, AE Films, are the proud recipients of 11 XBIZ Awards nominations for 2016, honoring the very best in adult entertainment.

AE Films‘ Missy Martinez: Fucked Ra earned two nominations – Performer Showcase of the Year and Best Scene-All-Sex Release – as did True Erotica, nominated for All Sex Release of the Year and Director of the Year-Non-Feature Release for Holly Randall, while the studio grabbed an overall nod for Best New Studio.

Adult Empire also received nods for Online Retailer of the Year-Full Range, Adult Site of the Year (VOD), VOD Company of the Year, Adult Affiliate Program of the Year-Retail, Marketing Campaign of the Year and Progressive Web Company of the Year.

“The entire staff of Adult Empire would like to thank XBIZ for our 11 nominations,” said Adult Empire’s Director of Marketing, Megan Wozniak. “2015 has been such a milestone year for us and we’re especially ecstatic that our new production label, AE Films, has been recognized by Xbiz for such prestigious awards.”

Adult Empire also scored two nominations as part of XBIZ’s Industry Awards Exec Awards announcement late last month (Colin Allerton was nominated for Business Development Executive of the Year and Daniel Chura was nominated for the Tech Leadership Award).

“Adult Empire has been a perennial award nominee over the years, but 2016 represents its largest ever range of XBIZ award nominations, and we are truly honored to be selected as standouts in this competitive and rewarding industry.”
