The Award
Always with an eye for a trend, showbiz gadfly Mutley enlisted his friends to create a unique major international film award, the dog equivalent of the Oscars. The event came to life in the new millennium, 2001 when Oscar-nominated actress Jennifer Jason Leigh accepted with great pride the trophy collar for her co-star and housemate Otis. "This is great, this is wonderful. I was feeling flat today and hearing the news that Otis had won the Palm Dog really lifted my spirits," she enthused. Since its inception the award has got the message that, 'yes dogs count,' out to media from the Sydney Morning Herald to the New York Post and all points inbetween. Not to mention France 3 TV and the Reuters and AFP wire services.
The Palm Dog award is discerned by a jury of top international film critics under the presidency of Mutley.
In a pamphlet worthy of Zola, Mutley set out the reasons for such a long overdue recompense. But in a word it was about respect for fellow performers. Fulfilling a need for recognition of the cinema talents of man’s best friend the Palm Dog celebrates the the glamour, the sparkle, the razzmattazz and absolute fabulousness of the fourlegged.
Long Live the Palm Dog!!!
