Digital Playground won four awards at the 2008 Erotic eLINE Awards, met with lines of eager fans during the Venus Berlin Show, and further demonstrated the company’s mass international appeal and dominance over the adult entertainment industry.

Primarily a German awards show, Erotic eLINE also includes international and US categories, which Digital Playground garnered nearly half of the eligible awards.  The annual eLINE awards, organized and presented in gala-style celebration by the B2B magazine MEDIENeLINE, have become an industry highlight. The eLINE awards distinguish outstanding directors, innovative developers and designers and the hottest girls in over 20 different categories.

Digital Playground’s Robby D. won for Best International Direction, while Jesse Jane® received the award for Best US Actress, and Stoya™ was awarded Best US Newcomer. Digital Playground also received a trophy for Film With the Highest Potential (“Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge”).

Throughout the Venus Show, the stunning girls of Digital Playground greeted fans, signed autographs, and posed for photos.  Brand new Digital Playground contract girl Angelina Armani™ made her anticipated public debut alongside her contract sisters Jesse Jane®, Stoya™, Shay Jordan™, Katsuni, and Riley Steele™, as well as Digital Playground’s CEO Samantha Lewis and acclaimed director Robby D.  In a week packed full of wild, sexy fun, there was no bigger allure than the blockbuster “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” and the beautiful stars of the film.

“What an amazing week in Berlin,” says Samantha Lewis.  “I’d like to thank Peter Bubel, The Venus Fair staff, Martha Johnson and everyone at Medien eLINE magazine for their coverage and support.  The show was phenomenal.  It was wonderful to see our clients, discuss new business, and gauge the audience’s reaction to our stars and product.  It was great to receive 4 awards.  I am extremely proud of Jesse, Stoya, and Robby D. for their extraordinarily hard work this year and I’m equally honored by the acknowledgments.  The award for ‘Pirates II’ is something that we can all revel in.”

Robby D. says, “It’s great to see Digital Playground’s constant strong presence in Europe.  Thank you to my fans all over the world for your continued support in my quest to continually make the horniest porn available.  Maybe it’s time for Jack to pay a little visit to Europe.”

Jesse Jane exclaims, “Wow!  Thank you so much to all my fans around the world!  It’s such a rush to hear your name called.  I’m overwhelmed by the love I continue to receive from my fans.  I love you all right back.  The award is for you.”

Stoya smiles and comments, “It’s awesome to win especially considering the hot girls I was up against.  Digital Playground continues to let me develop my career in a nonconformist way, so I’m glad that I can share this award with Sam, Joone, and Adella as a big thanks.  This was my first time in Europe and I can hardly wait to come back.  It’s nice to have such dedicated fans all over the world.”

2008 marks Jesse Jane’s third time to receive Best US Actress award in her five-year career, and Robby D.’s second time to be named best US Director in four years.
