    Uggie, 'War Horse' among Pawscar award winners

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — 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 Thursday 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.

    "War Horse" was recognized for "best perception versus 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 next week.

      I think it's so adorable that they had these special awards for the animals.Uggie did great in "The Artist" and while I haven't seen the other movies,I'm sure the animals deserved to win.

      The war horse was magnificent, the movie less so, found it depressing.

      War Horse, a boring and mawkish tale of a horse "done wrong". I liked the bidding war for it at the end. The guy who bought the horse for an enormous amount in memory of his grand daughter, just says OK and gives it to the soldier after he says he raised it. What? Duh.

        @SuperG -- Thank you for telling the end of the story for all of us that haven't seen it yet. It was very considerate of you.
