Charlotte, NC - January 4, 2011 - AEBN, the global leader of adult Video on Demand, has kicked off 2011 with the announcement of the winners of its 6th annual VOD Awards.
Since 2006, AEBN has calculated the most popular films and the stars of the year based on viewing habits of the millions who visit the company's network of VOD theaters and celebrated those winners with the VOD Awards. Nominations are based on minute sales in the theaters in one calendar year, decided upon with a precise, in-house accounting system.
"The only vote cast in these awards is our customers' choices over the year. With every minute they've watched over 2010, fans have made their voices heard," says AEBN's Jerry Anders, VP of Sales and Marketing. "We've seen them become increasingly choosy through the last few years, so these winners have definitely captured the loyalty of many of our visitors."
Nominees were announced in November, and the winners will receive their awards via mail.
"We would like to thank our fans for their support of this film," said Smash owner Dan Quinn and company V.P. Stuart Wall, whose film Bus Stop Girls won for Best Overall Movie. "From bringing in a full-size bus to capture the right feel to compiling an all-star cast, we didn't take any short cuts with this production. The great girls and guys in the cast coupled with the great directing talents by Jim Powers was a winning formula for us."

John Stagliano, founder of Evil Angel and the award-winning director of the famous Buttman series, has been highlighted for the Lifetime Achievement honors, while Smash Pictures has been named Studio of the Year.
Lisa Ann, for the second time since the Awards inception, won for Performer of the Year, while Jennifer White, one of the stars of Smash Pictures Bus Stop Girls, was named Best Newcomer.
"Thank you, I am honored, touched and inspired by the demand for more of me," said Lisa Ann on the news of her win. "I love my fans and the life they have provided for me. To all the companies I have worked for, and for AEBN for having the most amazing VOD Site and honoring me twice with this award, thank you as well!"
