Listen up—the AVN noms dropped at Avalon Hollywood last night and one name had jaws on the floor: Jasmine Sherni walking away with the holy grail Best Leading Actress nod. Yeah, that one everyone fights tooth and nail for.
In a room full of heavy hitters, the South Asian stunner stole the spotlight with three nominations total, and trust me, these aren’t participation ribbons.
Jasmine Sherni’s Triple Threat at the 2026 AVN Awards
Let’s start with the big one.
Best Leading Actress – “Ghosted” (Digital Playground)
Picture this: girl gets ghosted by Danny D (classic), ends up spending the night in a creepy-ass haunted mansion, lights some candles, does a séance… and shit gets wild. Jasmine carries the entire feature on her back—acting chops, sexual heat, the full package. Digital Playground knew what they were doing when they handed her the lead, and AVN just stamped it with approval.
She’s literally all over the Virgin Hotels campaign this year too. Walk through the casino in January and you’ll be staring at her face (and the rest of her) on every damn billboard. Smart marketing? Hell yes.
Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene – “Pulled Out of the Closet”
Over on Adult Time’s Lez Be Bad series, Jasmine teams up with Aria Sloane and Little Dragon for a filthy closet three-way that apparently melted servers. If you’ve seen the trailer, you already know the chemistry is stupid hot. That nom was basically inevitable.
Best International Boy/Girl Sex Scene – “Pool Prankster Drowns in Ass”
And then there’s the Brazzers banger with Jordi El Niño Polla. Title alone should tell you everything—this one’s pure chaotic energy and Jasmine’s legendary booty takes center stage. Jordi’s face disappears for half the scene and nobody’s complaining. International category? Locked.
“‘Ghosted’ was an incredible movie to film and show off my acting skills and sexual prowess. I’m very excited about my Best Leading Actress nomination for it and would love to take home the trophy. But I have some serious competition.”
– Jasmine Sherni
Understatement of the year, queen. The Best Leading Actress field is always a bloodbath, but landing it as a South Asian performer in a major Digital Playground feature? That’s a massive W for representation and for anyone who’s been riding for her since day one.
The full AVN 2026 nominees list is live now if you wanna see who she’s up against. Fan voting drops soon—y’all better mobilize.
Ceremony goes down January 24 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. Mark the calendar, book the flight, do whatever you gotta do. Something tells me Jasmine Sherni’s night is gonna be one for the history books.
- Best Leading Actress – “Ghosted” (Digital Playground)
