Sabien DeMonia Scores Five XMA Europe Nominations—Here's How

Sarah Davis · 2026-08-09

Sabien DeMonia is heading into the 2026 XMA Europe Awards with serious momentum. The Polish-born creator, performer, and director just landed five nominations, spanning everything from performer and creator categories to movie, group scene, and virtual reality recognition. That's a rare kind of sweep, and it says a lot about where her career is headed. DeMonia is no stranger to this stage. She took home the 'MILF Performer of the Year' trophy in 2025, and now she's back in the running again. But this year, she's also up for 'Inked Creator of the Year,' a brand-new category that celebrates tattooed talent. It's a fitting nod for someone whose inked glamour look has become part of her signature. ### A Showcase That Means More The big one, though, might be 'Best All-Sex Movie.' Her Evil Angel showcase, *Sabien DeMonia: Polish Fuck Machine*, is nominated—and this isn't just another project for her. It's her first-ever performer and director showcase, a much larger body of work than anything she's tackled before. In her own words, it's "possibly the most important achievement of my career." That kind of personal stake changes the energy around a nomination. It's not just about winning; it's about validation for a project that took real risk and vision. ### Group Scenes and Virtual Reality DeMonia's other nominations show off her range. She's part of a female-led orgy/group scene nomination alongside Little Maly, Jesus Reyes, and Leo Santos. And in the virtual reality category, she joins Kumi, Juicy Roxie, Jesse Squid, Dante Colle, and Mike Hell for *Boss Treatment From 3 Hot Asians*, produced by SexLikeReal and ThroattleVR. Getting recognized in VR is a big deal, especially as that side of the industry keeps growing. It's a different skill set, and it's clear DeMonia is comfortable pushing into new formats. ### What's Next for DeMonia As a director, DeMonia has a clear vision. She's focused on gonzo showcases built around European stars, and she's excited about the new 'Inked Creator of the Year' category. "I'm very happy to be nominated again for 'MILF Performer of the Year' after winning last year," she said. The 2026 XMA Europe Awards will take place on Sunday, September 13, in Amsterdam, wrapping up a week of industry events that also includes XBIZ Amsterdam and the inaugural X3 Amsterdam. Voting for industry members opens Wednesday, August 5, at XBIZ.net. ### A Career Built on More Than Awards DeMonia's path to this point has been anything but linear. She started in live studio and cam shows before building a global career across major European and U.S. studios, including Evil Angel, Brazzers, Spizoo, Marc Dorcel, Reality Lovers, Czech VR, VR Taboo, Legal Porno, Lust Reality, and Gonzo.com. She's also landed covers and features for outlets like FHM, XBIZ, Hustler, and Inked Barbie, and has racked up nominations from AVN, XBIZ Europa, AltPorn, Fleshbot, and Inked Awards. In 2025, she earned XBIZ Europa recognition for 'Director of the Year – Body of Work (Non-Narrative).' When she's not filming or directing, she's usually in the kitchen—she's a self-described globetrotting foodie. It's a reminder that even at the top of a demanding industry, there's room for the things that keep you grounded. With five nominations on the table, DeMonia is already having a standout year. Whether she takes home the trophies or not, the recognition itself tells the story: she's one of the most versatile and driven creators working today.
