Adult DVD Empire Congratulates Vivid On Empire Award Nominations

Warrendale, PA (February 3, 2006) – 2005 was a banner year for Vivid Pictures on DVD, and their success was reflected when Adult DVD Empire announced the nominees for the 2005 Empire Awards earlier today.

Vivid captured 8 total nominations, including 5 for The New Devil In Miss Jones, their blockbuster feature starring porn legend Jenna Jameson and Vivid Girl Savanna Samson. The New Devil In Miss Jones was nominated for Best Overall DVD, Best Feature DVD, Best DVD Extras, Best DVD Commentary, and perhaps the most coveted award of them all, the Viewer’s Choice Award, which can be voted on by anyone who visits Adult DVD Empire or the Empire Awards site.

Vivid was also nominated for their work as a studio – getting nods in both the Best Overall Studio and Best Compilation Studio categories. They also picked up a nod for their release of the original Where The Boys Aren’t in the Best Classic DVD category.

In addition to Vivid’s 8 nominations, the Club Jenna release of Jenna Loves Pain was nominated for an Empire Award in the category of Best Fetish DVD. Vivid is the exclusive distributor of all Club Jenna releases.

“Vivid’s always been known for their great features, ” said Adult DVD Empire Editorial Director Shannon Nutt, “but the fact that they received nominations in so many different categories…their most ever for the Empire Awards…shows how much they’ve expanded their appeal to fans and consumers in the past year.” Nutt also commented on the five nominations for Vivid’s The New Devil In Miss Jones. “It was obviously one of the biggest and best put-together adult DVDs of the year, so it’s no surprise that the film got recognized in some of our Awards’ biggest categories.”
