And an extra special shout-out to the jury who have thrown kudos the way of canines.One of the world's most famous dogs has passed away after a career that included award-winning acting roles and a published memoir. A huge heartfelt thank you to all the actors and directors who have embraced the award and at times risking their credibility - but the love of dogs was irresistible.
“He has since gone to kennel heaven but lives on through the world’s foremost and paw-most awards for dogs on the big screen. “Palm Dog was inspired by my Fox Terrier, born in the Champagne region of France, who went by the name of Mutt,” said Rose of his 20-year-old Cannes institution. By coincidence, Uggie’s owner von Muller was involved in the final fight scene in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Uggie led the pack among the judges over 18 other winners, including the first Palm Dog honoree, Otis from The Anniversary Party (with the award accepted in 2001 by director Jennifer Jason Leigh), Dug from Up in 2009 (the award’s first 2D winner), and last year’s top dog Sayuri, who played Brad Pitt’s pit bull Brandy in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (which saw Quentin Tarantino unexpectedly turn up to the awards ceremony). Palm Dog will always have a special place in our hearts because this award was where it all began for Uggie and The Artist.“
“Dash will be honored to wear it for Uggie. “Uggie would be very proud of that, and we will keep this forever,” said von Muller. The award - a special collar - will be awarded by competition founder Toby Rose to Omar von Muller, trainer and owner of Uggie (who passed away in 2015) and fellow Jack Russell Dash, his kennel mate and body double on The Artist. The Hollywood Reporter can reveal that in a virtual ceremony over Zoom that will go live on the Palm Dog website on Friday, the late Jack Russell terrier Uggie from The Artist - winner of the Palm Dog in 2011 - will be crowned the Palm Dog of Palm Dogs.
