Who does the most accomplished canine performer in Hollywood have to lick to get some hardware around here? “He’s the toast of this year’s award season, now Uggie, the Jack Russell star of this year’s Academy Award-winning silent film The Artist , will walk the red carpet and serve as a presenter at the only major award show where animals take center stage – The Humane Society of the United States’ 26th Genesis Awards. ‘The Genesis Awards are about honoring the animal protection message, not the performance, but if we had an award for a dog who’s become a poster animal for people not giving up on their unruly companion animals, we’d give it to Uggie… now, there’s a thought!’, says Beverly Kaskey, senior director and executive producer of the annual Genesis Awards.” [ Genesis Awards ]
