Uggie, the four-legged star of "The Artist," was named Best Scene Stealer at last week's Pawscars awards in Hollywood. He's shown here with his two-legged co-star, Jean Dujardin.
LOS ANGELES -- The Oscars aren't until Feb. 26, but winners of the Pawscars are already celebrating.
The American Humane Association, which advocates for animals on film and TV sets, announced the top animals last week being honored with Pawscar awards.
Uggie, the four-legged star of "The Artist," was named Best Scene Stealer. Fellow Jack Russell terrier, Cosmo, whose thoughts were communicated through subtitles in "Beginners," won Best Animal Speaking role.
The movie "War Horse" was recognized for Best Perception vs. Reality for a scene that shows the title horse becoming entangled in barbed wire that was actually made from soft rubber.
Other winners include "Dolphin Tale," "We Bought a Zoo" and "Mr. Popper's Penguins."
The Pawscars are among an emerging breed of awards honoring animal actors. The Golden Collar dog awards will be presented this week.
