The Golden Collar Awards: Sorry, Blackie

Well, I'm a bit late on this, since I was "covering" Westminster, but if you're only  just now tuning in, I'll try to let you down easy.

Blackie the Doberman did not win the first Golden Collar award.


Better luck next year, I suppose. Or the year after that. We need movies with positive representations of Dobermans in them! I definitely appreciate Scorsese's getting Blackie on the nominees list in the first place. It was ridiculous to me that, if the award show is for "dog actors", they decided to leave one out. I haven't seen any explanation for it anywhere, though I guess I know better than to expect one. 

Hopefully, more movies will come out with Dobermans in them, and show the Doberman breed as it really is, so that people can get over their prejudices. And then. Then, my friends, the Golden Collar will be ours!

Martin Scorsese goes to bat for Dobermans

This year is the first annual Golden Collar Awards ceremony, on Monday, February 13. I'd heard about it peripherally, on Dogster first I think, because who doesn't like talking about dog actors? There aren't enough movies with Dobermans in them, though. Or rather, enough movies with Dobermans just as....dogs. Not slavering villains. Not menaces.
