Uggie your dog Honours Campaign: Join the reason to obtain 'The Artist's' Canine Scene Stealer Some Recognition

Team Uggie! As individuals who've seen 'The Artist' know, the quiet film from director Michel Hazanavicius accomplishes many apparently impossible goals -- like creating a quiet film relevant and enjoyable to 2011 tastes and sensibilities -- though possibly none more than Uggie. Whereas most films use creatures like a schmaltzy crutch or cheap joke, Uggie your dog is the central go up and down of George Valentin, the quiet film star in 'The Artist' who will get pressed aside when talkies become en style. "I believe this character, Uggie, is essential,Inch stated Hazanavicius, seriously, to Moviefone throughout a current intervew. "He's the only real other character that does not speak, because he's your dog. But, it's his closest friend. I believe it is on the deep level, but It is sensible.Inch It will! Uggie -- like Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo -- is wonderful! So: where's the honours buzz? Because of the truly amazing S.T. VanAirsdale at Movieline, the following: "Retrograde union and Academy rules may stop [an Oscar nomination] for Uggie in groups in the past restricted to humans, but it is time for experts and honours physiques like NBR and also the Golden Globes to consider a great hard consider Uggie's huge eyes and huger talent and turn back discriminatory trend that forbids recognition of the degree of animal artistry." Amen, boy! To assist the reason, VanAirsdale has produced a "Consider Uggie" Facebook page, in addition to a Twitter hashtag (#consideruggie). Even if you think this can be a lark, observe that NY Publish film critic Lou Lumenick pressed for that NY Film Experts Circle to recognition the eight-year-old Jack Russell Terrier. "Greatest #NYFCC disappointment: no special award for the best performance of 2011, Jack Russell terrier in 'The Artist,'" Lumenick authored on Twitter. This could happen! Mind to Movieline to obtain your Team Uggie paraphernalia, and like this Facebook page. Uggie may not win an Oscar, but that does not mean he can't receive some critical love. There just must be one experts group guy (and lady) enough to face up for any dog. [via Movieline] [Photo: Getty] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook
