(Century City, CA) -- Adult entertainment history was made Thursday, April 11th at the 2002 XRCO Awards when Wicked Pictures Euphoria was awarded Video of the Year honours by some of the nation's top critics. This event marked the first time a video release has swept the Best Video honours of all three of the adult industry's major critics organizations: AVN, Adam Film World, and the X-Rated Critics Organization.

The award was accepted onstage by Euphoria director Brad Armstrong and Wicked Girl Sydnee Steele (who's stunning performance as Euphoria's Melina earned her a Best Actress Video award earlier this year at the 2002 AVN Awards).

Other highlights of the evening included the first media appearances by Julia Ann since becoming the newest Wicked Girl. Fellow Wicked Girls Stephanie Swift, Devinn Lane, and Sydnee Steele also took to the stage throughout the night to present such awards as Best Group sex Scene and Best Three-Way sex Scene.

In related Wicked news, Julia Ann followed her XRCO appearance by resuming production on Jonathan Morgan's big budget Hercules the next morning in Malibu; the cast of almost 30 also includes Sydnee Steele. Sydnee fans will also want to check out the full-page photo of the brunette Wicked Girl with superstar rap mogul Snoop Doggy Dogg in the current issue of Maxim's Blender. This Saturday, April 20th, Devinn Lane and Stephanie Swift will be stepping in front of the cameras together to shoot the second episode of Devinn's new adult variety series the Devinn Lane Show, which Devinn is also writing, producing, and directing.
