LOS ANGELES—Adult entertainment studio Wicked Pictures has received 16 major nominations for some of its top features released in 2019-'20 at the 28th Annual NightMoves Awards. These noms include Best Feature Production recognition for Editor's Choice releases from directors Axel Braun, Brad Armstrong and Holly Randall. Fan voting on the nominees has already begun, and the online voting ballot is now available here.
Parodist/anthology director Axel Braun has secured several nominations for his features and their stars, including Best Non-Feature Director, Best Feature Director, Best Actress (Kenzie Taylor) and Best Feature Production, the latter three for his multi-award winning Wicked Comix hit Captain Marvel XXX: An Axel Braun Parody. Among his non-feature nominations, Inked 6 and Bush 3 earned Best Taboo/Fetish/Specialty Release, while Busty Hotwives 2 garnered Best All-Sex Gonzo Release.
The nominations earned by contract performer, writer, art director and moviemaker Brad Armstrong spoke to the eclectic nature of his talent. His 2 1/2 hour saga Lost Love earned him Best Feature Director, Best Feature Production and Best Actor nominations.
Director, photographer, podcaster and author Holly Randall's couples dramas Finding Rebecca and Stranger Than Fiction each received Best Feature Production noms and earned Randall Best Feature Director attention.
Climax, a Dorcel production from Europe distributed by Wicked and featuring Angela White, Avi Love, Britney Amber, India Summer, Jane Wilde and Whitney Wright, garnered a nomination for Best All-Sex Gonzo Release.
Finally, both Wicked Pictures and Axel Braun's eponymous company Axel Braun Productions received Best Production Company nominations.
"It's an honor to see Wicked's contract talent and adult industry collaborators nominated for such a wide range of projects," said Wicked media liaison Daniel Metcalf. "The features run the gamut from a powerful special-effects laden superhero parody and an intricate, emotionally driven story of loss, to smart, sexy dramas. Similarly, the all-sex titles from Braun and Dorcel nominated in the Best Gonzo and Best Specialty categories are each stylistically unique and tailored for maximum appeal to a specific niche. Wicked strives to create the best movies possible and appreciates NightMoves for recognizing the effort.”
The 28th Annual NightMoves Awards Show winners will be announced this October in Tampa, Florida. Online voting for the 28th Annual NightMoves Awards Show can be accessed here. To learn more, visit Wicked.com.
