LOS ANGELES—Wicked Pictures, considered by most to be a global adult entertainment innovator, has announced that Wicked Girl Jessica Drake has been nominated for several 2019 industry awards, including a Best Actress nomination from AVN. The veteran contract star and sexual wellness educator's AVN and "O" Awards nominations speak to the diversity of her work in a trio of big-budget erotic blockbusters created by contract directors Brad Armstrong and Axel Braun: Fallen II Angels & Demons, Carnal, and Deadpool XXX: An Axel Braun Parody, as well as her ever-rising mainstream media profile and tireless work as an advocate for sex positivity.
The 2019 AVN nominations saw the excellence of Ms. Drake's work in Fallen II Angels & Demons, for which she was recognized with Best Actress honors as well as a Best Group Sex Scene mention for her epic encounter with Casey Calvert, Luna Star, Ryan Driller, Derrick Pierce and Eric Masterson, while her sequence with trans performer Natassia Dreams, Sean Michaels, and Ana Foxxx in Carnal was recognized with a Best Transsexual Sex Scene nomination. The 2019 AVN Awards will be celebrated in Las Vegas January 26, 2019, as part of the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo. The show will be hosted by Romi Rain and Bailey Rayne, and feature music by chart-topper Cardi B.
The "O" Awards celebrated Jessica's passion for sex positivity by honoring the Guide to Ride, her collaboration with COTR's Cowgirl brand of premium riding sex machines, with an Outstanding Marketing Campaign nomination. The 10th Annual “O” Awards will take place Thursday, January 24 during the AVN Adult Novelty Expo at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Las Vegas.
“It’s that time of year again when the hard work and dedication that we all invest into this business is rewarded," Jessica said of the 2019 nominations. "To work in this industry as a performer, director and educator is one of my most fulfilling passions, and I’m honored by the recognition. I want to sincerely thank Brad Armstrong and Axel Braun for directing me, our amazing team of performers, and our hardworking crews, for if it weren't for them, these movies would not uphold the quality that Wicked Pictures has established over the years. I am also grateful to Daniel Metcalf of Dash, Adella Curry, and the team at FAM for amazing PR. And most of all, I am thankful for Steve Orenstein and everyone at Wicked Pictures for their continued support and encouragement. Go Team Wicked!"
Wicked Pictures President and owner Steve Orenstein observed, “Jessica has headlined some of our most popular releases over the years, but it is her tireless efforts to educate and help people however she can which really have had the most impact. I am extremely proud of all that she has accomplished as a performer, director, and educator. We appreciate her and stand with her. We thank AVN... and the "O" Awards for recognizing her talent, passion, and advocacy.”
