Dakota Skye Earns Seven AVN Award Noms, Including Best New Starlet

LOS ANGELES — Superstar Dakota Skye has been nominated by AVN for seven awards, including Best New Starlet.   "This is a huge deal in our business and such a great honor," beamed Skye.  The 20 year-old Florida native entered the adult business just one year ago, and in that time has established herself as one of the most sought-after performers in porn. "A year ago, I didn't think I would of come this far," Skye says. "Thank you AVN for these amazing nominations and for making my first year involved in the AVNs an amazing experience!" The young performer, who stands 5' 2" and measures a slim 32A-25-36, turned in dozens of spectacular performances in the past year, and scored her own showcase movie, Meet Dakota Skye for Digital Sin. Meet Dakota Skye was recognized by AVN with nominations for Best Star Showcase, as well as Best Anal Sex Scene, for Skye's turn with top male performer and crossover celebrity James Deen. "I cried when I heard my name be called for Best Anal Sex Scene! This was a huge goal of mine, and I couldn't be happier," Skye said. "I'd love to thank Digital Sin, and also James Deen for showing up early to my showcase DVD scene; I always appreciate an early scene partner. Oh, and thanks for the spit."  Skye has also been honored with a Best Three-Way Sex Scene - B/B/G nom, for her performance between Jordan Ash and Ramon Nomar in From Both Ends 2 (Digital Sin).  "This was my first three way sex scene with two men that was aggressive and rough! I remember the look on the director's face after he shot this and right then I knew this was AVN nomination material. I just am so thrilled it actually got nominated!"  Sky's other 2015 AVN nominations include:  Best Boy/Girl Sex Scene for Young & Glamorous 6 (Jules Jordan Video). "This was my first Jules Jordan shoot," Skye recalled, "and, well... I was so excited to shoot for his company, I went in to work that day with one thing on my mind, 'how can I make this better than my last scene?' Now I follow that every time I show up to set."  Best POV Sex Scene for My Brother's Point of View (Digital Sin); Dakota Skye and Erik Everhard.  Best Non-Feature for She's So Small, Porn Pros. Skye is connected to 12 additional AVN-nominated releases, including four titles in the Best Young Girl Release category, Teen Manipulations (Forbidden Fruits/Exile); The Teen-aholics$ 2 (Joey Silvera/Evil Angel); Teens Love Huge Cocks 2 (Reality Kings); and Young & Glamorous 6 (Jules Jordan Video).  This year, AVN has added a new category, Best Taboo Relations Movie, and Skye stars in two of the nominated movies, Our Father and Teens Love Huge Cocks 2 (both from Digital Sin). Award winning director Jacky St. James says, "The first time I directed Dakota was on Our Father. She was so eager and excited to be doing a scripted piece. It is that level of enthusiasm that any director craves from their talent. If someone is eager, they are malleable; they can be molded into delivering an incredible performance, as she did in Our Father. I couldn't have been more pleased."  The adult industry’s biggest extravaganza, the AVN Awards will be hosted by Alexis Texas and Tommy Pistol at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Las Vegas.
