LOS ANGELES—Wicked Pictures won ten awards Sunday night at the 22nd Annual NightMoves Awards, including several major Fan Choice awards.
The winners were revealed during a ceremony at South Florida’s Tampa Gold Club that was hosted by Ron Jeremy and Sunny Lane. The star-studded soiree saw the company’s performers, directors and productions receiving some of the evening’s top honors, including NightMoves' First Choice Award, which went to the Wicked Fairy Tales release, Sleeping Beauty XXX: An Axel Braun Parody, starring Stormy Daniels and Anikka Albrite. The first release in the series, Snow White XXX: An Axel Braun Parody, with Riley Steele and Jessica Drake, was honored with the Best Parody – Drama Fan Choice award.
Braun received several other fan-voted trophies, including Best Director – Parody Fan Choice. Best All Sex Release Fan Choice went to his star showcase Riley Goes Gonzo, and the film’s titular star, Axel Braun Productions contract girl Riley Steele, received Best Body Fan Choice. APB contract star Aiden Ashley was similarly honored, receiving Miss Congeniality Fan Choice. And fittingly enough for a filmmaker who swept so many major categories, Braun was also inducted into the NightMoves Hall of Fame.
“Having not one, but two of my Wicked Fairy Tales win awards was awesome,” commented the director. “I’m especially happy to have been able to make Wicked proud, and to be part of a company where Brad Armstrong, another big winner at NightMoves, is one of my colleagues. The fact that Wicked also won Best Production Company is a testament to the level of quality and commitment that we all strive to achieve.”
Major accolades continued to come Wicked’s way throughout the evening. Veteran blockbuster creator Brad Armstrong’s work was rewarded with the coveted Best Director – Feature Fan Choice award, while Asa Akira, the charismatic star of such hit Armstrong releases as Asa Gets Wicked and Holly…Would, earned the Editor’s Choice – Best Body trophy.
“I’m so happy to be awarded Best Body,” Akira enthused. “In a business full of so many perfect figures, it truly is a great compliment. Thank you, NightMoves!”
The conclusion of the evening also saw Wicked Pictures receive Best Production Company Fan Choice honors. Company owner and president Steve Orenstein was quick to praise both NightMoves and his contract team.
“We would like to thank NightMoves for continuing to offer a fan component to their awards," he said. "Having the fans choose Brad for his whole body of work and Axel for specific projects tells us we are continuing to deliver what they want to see and we appreciate their support. As NightMoves kicks off awards season, we hope critics will feel the same as the fans in the upcoming voting.”
