PARIS - Uggie the adorable terrier from the Oscar-winning film The Artist was posthumously awarded the Palm Dog of Palm Dogs on Friday for the best canine performance ever at the Cannes film festival.
The Palm Dog is the doggie version of the festival's top prize, the Palme d'Or, and almost as sought after, with Quentin Tarantino, Noah Baumbach and Jim Jarsmusch among a galaxy of top-dog directors who have emerged from the pack with the highly-prized collar between their teeth. "Every single year a journalist would pose the question, 'Is there going to be a year with no dogs?' We have been doing this 19, coming on 20 years, and dogs and directors never fail to come up with the goods," he added.
Uggie's trainer Omar Von Muller, who also worked on Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, said winning the Palm Dog was the launchpad for The Artist and its fairytale Oscar success.
