Even if no awards body deigns to recognize the year’s finest screen work by a dog (or anyone else, for that matter), we can all take some comfort in knowing that Movieline’s Consider Uggie campaign has attained an apex of some kind: The Artist ‘s wonder-dog sidekick has been featured in that celebrated repository of prestige, glamor and influence otherwise known as Page Six.

I don’t know what it all adds up to. I just express myself. Maybe one day I will be able to judge it myself but I am too in the middle of it to do it now.” Also: “The only thing more troubling than making jokes about the male penis would be to be serious and honor the male penis.” Now you know.
