### A Long-Deserved Win for Ricky Greenwood Ricky Greenwood has been racking up nominations and awards for years. But this one? This one hits different. The French-Canadian director and writer just took home Best Feature Director at the 34th Annual NightMoves Awards, and it's the biggest directing prize of his career so far. The ceremony went down Sunday night at The Stockyard in Holiday, Florida. Lauren Phillips hosted, Melony Melons co-hosted, and the red carpet was packed. Greenwood wasn't there, though. He was off directing another feature. But his absence didn't stop the room from celebrating his win. ### Five Nominations, One Huge Win Going into the night, Greenwood had five nominations on the table. That's not a typo. Five. He was up for Best Feature Director, Best Feature Film for Digital Playground's "Deadly Vows" and Dorcel's "Strip," plus Best Transsexual Release for Transsensual's "TS Adventures #2" and "TS Chronicles #2." When they called his name for Best Feature Director, it felt like the culmination of years of grinding. And Greenwood knows it. > "Unfortunately, I was directing a feature and was unable to attend the ceremony. But I'm truly honored to have won this award. Thank you to all my casts, crews, and studios that I worked with this year, the fans who voted for me, and of course, everyone at NightMoves. This means so much to me, and I'm truly honored." That's a classy response from a guy who clearly values the people he works with. No ego. Just gratitude. ### Why This Award Matters More Than the Others Greenwood has won plenty of trophies before. But Best Feature Director at NightMoves? That's different. NightMoves has been around for over three decades. It's one of the longest-running adult industry award shows in the U.S. Winning here means you've earned respect from peers, fans, and critics alike. And let's be real: directing features is hard work. You're managing cast, crew, schedules, budgets, and creative vision. Doing it at a level that gets you nominated five times in one year? That's elite. ### What's Next for Greenwood? He's not slowing down. Greenwood is already deep into his next project. If his track record is any indication, we'll be talking about him again at next year's awards. For now, though, he's got every reason to savor this one.
