DAME HELEN’S CORGIS TIPPED TO SCORE CANINE OSCARS
The corgis who played DAME HELEN MIRREN’s companions in 2006’s THE QUEEN have been tipped to win the film yet another accolade - a Fido award.
The five pups have been nominated for the Historical Hound category of this month’s (Oct07) Fidos, a British award ceremony recognising outstanding canine acting. The competition, held as part of the London Film Festival, sees the corgis go head-to-head with fellow movie mutts including the collie-mix owned by Samantha Morton’s character in Control, and the brown hunting dog from French picture Moliere.
Mirren says, "I loved those corgis because they were funny. I can understand why the Queen has them. Forget winning an Oscar, I’d be more proud of an award for dog handling."
