标题: “艺术家”狗狗勇夺“动物奥斯卡” [打印本页] 作者: Amy 时间: 2012-6-20 14:46 标题: “艺术家”狗狗勇夺“动物奥斯卡” On February 12 (local time)， silent movie "The Artist" won seven awards at the BAFTAs——the biggest ceremony of the British film industry, making it a favorite for the Oscars this year. It won awards for best film, best director, best original screenplay, best original music, best cinematography, best costume design as well as a performance award for leading actor Jean Dujardin。
However, Uggie the dog in "The Artist" have no chance to win an Oscar award, because the Academy has had strict rules for more than 80 years, excluding animals from its consideration. The Academy is still trying to establish itself as a serious awards program and the idea of giving awards to animals, despite the public's deep admiration for the animal actors, would decrease its prestige。
But audiences have fallen in love with Uggie, the dog in "The Artist". The 10-year-old Jack Russell Terrier plays the best friend of Dujardin and steals the show in the silent film. His vocal range doesn't come into play, but his courage and humor do。
The talented dog has got much support across the Internet. Over 9,000 people hope the Academy Award would allow animals to compete for the awards. With the recent buzz for Uggie, many have been asking whether the Academy should revise its rules。
Now, Uggie has received the "Best Dog in a Theatrical Film" award in Dog News Daily's first ever "Golden Collar Awards". That is, he has picked up the animal equivalent of an Oscar. And he has been named "Best Scene Stealer" by the American Humane Association。
