- Did you hear the news that,
A spokesperson for The Weinstein Company said the 10-year-old terrier had “not been asked to participate or appear at the Oscars” on February 26.
The announcement contradicted earlier reports that Uggie had been rehearsing a sketch with host Billy Crystal.
- Do you think it’s because, since Uggie just retired due to health problems, they’re afraid he’s going to die before the Oscars, and they don’t want to have that sad mess on their hands?
- Isn’t that terrible to think about?
- Oooh, do you think that maybe there’s just some mean person in charge of whatever would allow Uggie to attend and participate in some way and they’re just like, “I am NOT working with a dog.”
- Is it possible that the rest of the The Artist crew is just sick of this dog getting so much of the spotlight, and they were like, “It’s fine that he got the spotlight at the Golden Globes because that is nonsense, but this is serious”? So that’s why they don’t want to take him?
- Are dogs just not allowed at the Oscars? Do you know if a dog has ever attended the Oscars before?
- Is there anything else that we can look forward to going on at the Oscars, now that we know Uggie isn’t going to be there? That was kind of the one shining light of the whole thing this year, I feel like. There already aren’t going to be any musical performances. Are they trying to make it extra boring?
- BUT WHY?
- Do you think Uggie is really that great, or are we only holding on to him so tightly because a cute dog is a lot easier to deal with and understand than both “art” and our own feelings about the self-glorification of celebrity that we have to witness constantly during award season?
- Whhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy??

There ought to be an “Uggie Lookalike Contest” that Birdie would roll ov, I mean, walk over.
It’s super fucked up. If I were Uggie I would slap the person in charge like this:
Teach me how to Uggie. Teach me, teach me how to Uggie.
All them bitches love me. All them, all them bitches love me.
Uggie is probably too much of a diva now, so they hired the dog from Beginners instead.
That dog was amazing. You take your cat propaganda back to Cat Fancy where it belongs.
It’s not like he has a bathroom to keep his Oscar in anyway.
HOW DO I SUBSCRIBE TO RACIST MARMADUKE?
Maybe Uggie is a quadruple minority threat: gay, Muslim, Republican and Canidae
It’s been a rule since the first group of men came together to create their rules for the Oscars: No Uggies Allowed.
Nobody mentioned what they allowed for the 1998 Academy Award for Best Actress yet? Too cruel?
Guess the oscars got 99 problems and a bitch aint one
Clever reference. If Uggie were female.
Sorry, after 100 bitch jokes on the Martha Stewart thread, I’m just not having it. Not for the misogynistic undertones, those are fine, but because it is just plain inaccurate,
how do you know for sure? could be a crying game and/or victor/victoria type bit. JAZZ HOT! Snap
thedevilprobably is right!
the proof is in the pudding
I guess all the movie pros learned from Air Bud years ago and put a clause in their Oscar rulebooks.
Someone listened to Fresh Air yesterday. Or maybe not, but yesterday on Fresh Air, Terry Gross was talking to a guy who just came out with a book called “What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank”, which is a play on Raymond Carver’s “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love”. And Uggie not being invited to the Oscars definitely works in this context, because it’s the sort of easy stand-in we use to discuss our fears about those things that make up the core of our identity, because we can’t just talk about them because it’s scary! Who are we anymore if Uggie doesn’t get to go to the Oscars?!?! Oh no! Does this mean my grandpa was right about me wasting my life on cultural trivia? AAAGGGHGHGHG!!!! LET UGGIE GO TO THE OSCARS!!!!
If Uggie (God forbid) dies before the show, will they put him in the montage of dead people?
According to that article, “His health is good, but he has a bit of a shaking syndrome that white dogs get,” Muller said. “People will think he’s nervous or cold, but it’s a neurological thing.”
Um, what? Has anyone ever heard of this ever?
