(HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- SexZ Pictures was the big winner at the 2008 XRCO Awards when the science fiction sex thriller Upload took home the top prize of Best Epic at a vibrant adult industry party in Hollywood.

Winner of the XRCO Award for what amounts to the best feature movie of the year, Upload has now taken the top movie prize in four straight 2008 major award shows including AVN, XBIZ, Adam Film World and now the coveted X-Rated Critics Organization.

''It’s incredibly gratifying that the critics who make up the XRCO chose once again to recognize the hard work put in by everybody at SexZ Pictures on these big productions, not just the quality of the movie but the hard work that went into all the extras that make Upload’s four discs a nine-hour event,'' stated director Cross.

''We’re also extremely proud of Hillary’s (Hillary Scott) win for Best Analist, Eva’s (Eva Angelina) win for Best Actress, and I just want to thank the XRCO on behalf of all of us at SexZ,'' he concluded.

SexZ.com CEO Bo Kenney felt honored that his company has now claimed the top prize two years in a row. ''We made a commitment to provide the porn fan with the most intense sexual action possible along with a compelling storyline and both Corruption and Upload fit that bill I want to thank the XRCO for these awards. If you haven’t seen Upload, your missing what many are saying is best adult movie of the year.''

Made up of a few dozen veteran writers and reviewers throughout the world, the XRCO voting panel recognizes the best efforts put forth by the adult movie business in a number of key categories. The awards night is routinely recognized as one of the best adult industry parties of the year and the show at the Highlands Nightclub was no exception as it was packed with a who’s who of adult cinema including a lively contingent from SexZ Pictures including contract superstar Hillary Scott.

Currently editing Hillary Scott: Icon for SexZ Pictures, the humorous yet ever- serious Cross was pleased following the show and reflected on his repeat visits to the stage to collect the awards. ''I look like I just swallowed a lizard. I know because I checked a photo that was taken a few years back immediately after I did eat a lizard, and the expression is identical.''
