(LOS ANGELES, CA / November 20, 2017) — AVN Hall of Famer Joanna Angel and BurningAngel Entertainment are the proud recipients of two AVN Awards for 2018.

Angel and her infamous production studio received an award for Best Comedy for Jews Love Black Cock  and Best Lewd Propositions Movie – a brand-new AVN Award category this year – for Babysitter Auditions.

“Both Jews Love Black Cock and Babysitter Auditions are two of my favorite films I’ve ever made, and I’m so honored that they both won awards,” said Angel.  “Neither of these movies had a particularly high budget; there were no special effects, costumes, CGI or anything of the sort. The appeal is all in the humorous dialogue and the intensely hot sex – the two things that makes the BurningAngel brand what it is.”

Both Jews Love Black Cock and Babysitter Auditions showcase director and leading lady Angel’s comedic acting chops throughout each sizzling scene, and are available now through Exile Distribution.

Angel was on hand with the BurningAngel team to accept their AVN Awards at the 35^th Annual ceremony Saturday, January 27, 2018 at the Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada during the Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE).

Pushing the envelope, the BurningAngel empire is a refreshingly unique web cocktail of sex, rock n’ roll and pop culture. BurningAngel.com launched in 2002 with a few sets of photos and a band interview, conceived by two amateur college kids from Rutgers University, Joanna Angel and Mitch Fontaine. It has since exploded into a fierce indie company, pioneering a new species of erotica known as “alt porn,” with a network of websites and hundreds of DVDs to its credit. BurningAngel is revered for popularizing alternative-style girls, and prides itself on delivering hardcore adult content alongside band interviews, record reviews and its own social networking community.

As both the star of many of BurningAngel’s movies and company spokesperson/owner, Angel has stormed both mainstream and adult media. She has appeared on the cover of every major adult magazine (AVN, Club, Hustler, Picture Magazine, Adam Film World, Xtreme and more), and has been featured in numerous tattoo magazines as well (some include Prick, Taboo, Inked and Savage). Angel has been featured on Fox News, Playboy TV, Fuse TV, G4 TV, KROQ Radio, as a regular on the Jason Ellis show on SIRIUS Radio, as a guest on the series premiere of TLC’s LA Ink and in a speaking role on Adult Swim’s Children’s Hospital. She has also appeared in The New York Times, Newsweek, Inc. Magazine, The Village Voice, The New York Press, Esquire UK, Details and Penthouse, among others. Heeb Magazine featured Angel as its cover girl, naming her one of the Top 100 Up-and-Coming Jews in 2005; the New York Post featured her as one of the Top 25 Sexiest New Yorkers, and Playboy.com named Angel one of the 50 Hottest Adult Stars on Instagram. Angel also co-hosted the 2016 AVN Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Angel has also made her mark in the sex toy world, becoming a venerated Fleshlight Girl in 2013 and creating a BDSM line of toys with Stockroom. The same year, she made further strides into the mainstream world with a speaking role in the indie drama Scrapper. BurningAngel has brought home several awards from all the major adult shows—from AVN to XBIZ, to XRCO to YNOT. Some of its accolades include Best Porn Star Website, Best Web Premiere and Best Sex Comedy.

From a college dorm room to national television, Joanna Angel and BurningAngel have made their mark in entertainment, and it’s only just beginning.
