Specific Best Feature nominations went to her hit comedy Divorcees and the supernaturally-themed Wicked Passions romance, Immortal Love.

Veteran Wicked contract director Jonathan Morgan's Lisa Ann Can't Say No was one of three Wicked titles recognized in the Best Cougar / MILF Release category, which included Cougars Vs. Kittens and Cougars and Cubs from director Edwin Lee. Wicked Girl and recently-announced 2014 AVN Awards Show co-host Samantha Saint received attention in two very different categories—Best Boobs and Best All-Sex Release for the Barrett Blade-directed Saints & Sinners.
