Empire Awards Winners Announced

LOS ANGELES- Adult DVD Empire has announced the winners of its annual Empire Awards, currently the only adult awards dedicated solely to adult DVD.

Wicked Pictures took seven awards, more than any other production company with the bulk of them going to this year's AVN Award winner for Best Comedy, Space Nuts.

"We're honored to see our company's DVD product receiving this recognition, and we thank Shannon Nutt, Mike Barry, Jeff Rix, J.T. Smith, and the rest of the team at Adult DVD Empire for their support. It's especially gratifying to see Wicked win the Best DVD Studio award for the second year in a row, a testimony to the quality of a full two years worth of product, rather than just one title. It's a confirmation of our dedication to innovation and excellence," Wicked Publicity Director Daniel Metcalf told AVN.com.

Digital Playground won four Empire Awards with two going to Jesse Jane: Erotique. Evil Angel also won four with the multi-AVN Award winner The Fashionistas being the standout.
