Breaking News: Dug From Up, the Palm Dog Winner at Cannes!

PetSugar — Fri, 22 May 2009 10:20:51 -0700

Four paws up to the super cute Dug, can you dig it? The animated star of the upcoming Disney-Pixar 3D animated caper captured this year's Palm Dog award at the Cannes Film Festival! The flick, Up, features several hilarious dogs - and a ginormous bird - and I can't wait to see this pooch in action, especially after what my pals BuzzSugar and geeksugar had to say about their sneak peek and interviews with the director and producer.

I guess you can't give an animated dog a treat, but here's an e-bone for you, lil guy!

Breaking News: Lucy, the Lucky Palm Dog Winner at Cannes!

PetSugar — Fri, 23 May 2008 12:00:23 -0700

Four paws up to the super cute canine, Lucy, this year's lucky Palm Dog winner at Cannes! This mixed-breed pooch is part hunting dog and part retriever and was lucky enough to star alongside Michelle Williams in Wendy and Lucy. From what I can tell, the pup plays a major role in the film that follows their journey to Alaska, where Wendy hopes for a Summer of lucrative work at the fish cannery . . . until her car breaks down in Oregon, that is. Learn who accepted this award on her behalf when you read more.

It seems that Lucy was unable to receive today's award in person . . . errr, in dog . . . because she lives in Queens, NY so her diamante collar award was received by owner, and film director, Kelly Reichardt. However, there were plenty of new pictures of another pooch (who looks suspiciously close to that famed pup, Frank, from Men in Black). Now the original Palm Dog spokespup, Muttley, passed away last month so I wonder if this smooshy is taking his celebripup place for this ceremony?! Only time will tell but check out the fab beachside photoshoot with this puggy lad! I don't know who he is, but he sure is adoro!

Forget About the Palme d'Or, What About the Palm Dog?

PetSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 00:30:48 -0700

With all the excitement of the 2008 Cannes Film Festival hitting the Sugar Network, we don't want to forget about our furry, four-legged actors and actresses out there in showbiz! Not only are animals key players in film, but they deserve an award all their own: The Palm Dog.

An event that began in 2001, The Palm Dog is taking place this year right along side heavy hitters like Angelina and Brad at the UK Film Pavilion at Cannes this Friday. Past Palm Dog winners include "Mops" from Marie Antoinette (2006), "Moses" from Dogville (2003), and "Otis" in The Anniversary Party (2001) which starred Jennifer Jason Leigh and her own pup, Otis!

Remember how excited we got about the Corgi-licious winners of The Fidos last fall? I've heard the pooch starring alongside Julianne Moore in Blindness is the early favorite this year! It's hard for me to say – 'cause I couldn't be with those lucky guests to see that opening premiere at Cannes. Sigh. Stay tuned – I'll bring you the winner list as soon as the ceremony wraps up.

Forget the Palm Pre, Get a Palm Puppy!

PetSugar — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 06:00:23 -0700

geek may be all over the newest phone to hit the market, but I'm more interested in another item with a similar name. The Palm Puppy may not have a 3 inch touch screen, built in keyboard, or GPS, but he sure is cute!

Coming straight from PalmPuppy's Etsy shop, I can't help but love this tiny stuffed Boston Terrier doll. Sure, he can't make calls, but he definitely makes me smile! And he's not the only one - there are a variety of plush and stuffed puppies (as well as buttons and other trinkets) for you to choose from as gifts for other dog lovers, or for yourself. You know, just because.

And check out the bulldog plushie! How adoro is that!? Each handmade plush doll comes in at around $30, which to some may seem a bit expensive, but can you really put a price tag on happiness? Well, can you?

The Fidos Crown Top Dog From the Silver Screen

PetSugar — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 13:44:40 -0700

Inspired by the Palm Dog, the canine version of the Palme d'Or award at Cannes each year, the BFI London Film Festival now presents The Fidos, the world's first international awards for dog stars of the big screen on October 28.

Up for grabs are awards in the following categories:

Historical Hound – a dog in a film set in bygone days.
Blockbuster Bowser – for achievement in an action flick.
Comedy Canine – the smoochiest pooch in a romantic comedy.
Cupcake Cinema – dogs in a short film.
Best in World – the top honour, for a top dog.

Among the nominees are dogs featured in movies like Molière and Control. My favorites are the five Corgis (Anna, Poppy, Megan, Alice, and Oliver) from The Queen. Their onscreen mama, Helen Mirren, already won an Oscar for her royal role... and, personally, I found the well-behaved, scene-stealing pups in the film to be worthy of an honor as well.

The Queen's Corgis Sweep Fidos!

PetSugar — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 12:00:56 -0700

Winning both the "Historical Hound" and "Best in World" awards, the Corgi stars of The Queen represented in royal fashion at The Fidos. Four of the five pooches – Anna, Poppy, Megan, Alice, and Oliver – who played the part(s) were present on the red carpet in England at yesterday's event, and are pictured above with Oscar winner, Helen Mirren. The other winners included pups from Year of the Dog ("Comedy Canine"), Shooter ("Blockbuster Bowser"), and short film, Dog Flap ("Cupcake Cinema").

These awards were produced by Toby Rose, also the producer of the prestigious Palm Dog award at the Cannes Film Festival. This event is the world's first international award ceremony exclusively for canine stars of the big screen, and marks the first time dogs have been allowed on the red carpet and into the National Film Theatre building in Southbank. Congratulations!
