The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced its nominees this morning, and while this venerable group got some things right (a supporting actor nomination for Christopher Plummer in Beginners), it missed the boat in some cases.
In an effort to recognize the contributions of our four-legged friends to the film industry, below is the inaugural list of nominees for the annual Sam on Cinema award. All films nominated for a Sammie were reviewed by this blog in 2011 and feature a performance by a dog or dogs. (I'm still waiting to see Uggie do his thing in The Artist.) They are:
- Hugo
- 50/50
- Super 8
- Jane Eyre
- Beginners
The winner of the first Sammie will be announced following the Feb. 26 Oscar telecast.
