Wicked Wins 4 NightMoves Awards, Including Best Feature

TAMPA, Fla. — Wicked Pictures garnered four trophies at the 30th annual NightMoves Awards ceremony in Tampa last week.

The studio took home the award for Best Feature for Wicked Comix' "Black Widow XXX: An Axel Braun Parody." The same feature earned Seth Gamble the win for Best Actor for his role as Deadpool. Kenzie Taylor won the award for Best Actress for her role in the Gamble-directed "Deranged." And the Wicked Noir feature "Dark Is The Night," from director James Avalon, won the NightMoves First Choice Award.

"It was such an honor to win an award for portraying Deadpool in "'Black Widow XXX,'" said Gamble. "It is an amazing experience every time I get to play the Merc with a Mouth and I’m very grateful for that. Most of all I can’t tell you the emotions that went through me to see my wife Kenzie Taylor win Best Actress for 'Deranged' — not only did I put my heart and soul into this movie, but she did as well, more than anybody can really know."

Taylor enthused about her win.

"I’m so thankful and happy to finally get the opportunity to win an award for acting," she said. "Winning Best Actress for 'Deranged' really means a lot to me. 'Deranged' was my husband’s first narrative series, and he not only directed, he also wrote the screenplay. It’s always an incredible feeling when your hard work is recognized."

Avalon expressed his gratitude to his cast and to Wicked director and Head of Production Axel Braun in particular.

"It is such an honor to have won the NightMoves First Choice award for 'Dark Is The Night,'" he said. "I had a wonderful time working with Axel, Seth, Kenna (James), and the rest of our cast and crew. I appreciate Axel letting me make a feature the way I envisioned it with such a great cast of wonderful actors, and I thank NightMoves for recognizing our hard work."

For his part, Braun was "thrilled" by the accolades.

"It was a fantastic evening," he said. "The NightMoves people really pulled out all the stops for this milestone celebration, and it was an honor being there to support them. I was obviously thrilled to bring home two more 'Black Widow XXX' awards, but I am ecstatic about Kenzie Taylor winning Best Actress for 'Deranged.' Ever since she starred in 'Captain Marvel XXX,' I have been blown away by her acting chops and her absolute commitment to every role she plays, and in this movie she really proved how talented she is."

He continued by praising both Gamble and Avalon.

"While Seth Gamble winning a Best Actor award may seem like routine nowadays, it is always a great feeling to see him recognized for the hard work and unmatched passion he consistently puts in everything he does," he said. "Last but not least, the trophy for James Avalon’s 'Dark is the Night' is very special to me, not only because it’s my first award as a producer of a movie I didn’t direct, but also because it really is a truly incredible movie that James wrote, shot, and edited masterfully, and I am rightfully proud of it."
