Hollywood will honor its on-screen canine performers in its brand-new awards show, The Golden Collar Awards Monday at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. And the nominees are:

• Cosmo as Arthur in Beginners
• Uggie as Queenie in Water for Elephants
• Denver as Skeletor in 50/50
• Hummer as Dolce in Young Adult
• Uggie as The Dog in The Artist
• Maximilian as Blackie in Hugo

They are all winners, but my bet is on Uggie!
