Here at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talentmanagement.com\/\" title=\"pet actor\" target=\"_blank\">Talent Management<\/a> many of the staff agree that this popular pooch was the best thing about the film that cleaned up at both the BAFTAs and the Golden Globes this year.<\/p>\n<p>Uggie was sadly snubbed by the powers that be at the BAFTA awards when they refused to nominate him for his performance in <em>The Artist<\/em>, but trainer Von Muller recently gave his explanation for this to reporters at the Telegraph: \u201cThe main reason people don\u2019t want animals to compete with humans is that they know humans wouldn\u2019t stand a chance: Uggie sometimes has to do 15 or 20 takes because the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talentmanagement.com\/talent\/\" title=\"actors\" target=\"_blank\">actors<\/a> keep messing up\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>However, Uggie and his trainer are well compensated for their patience with his co-stars, while Muller will not disclose the amount that Uggie is able to charge for his services these days he does hint that it&#8217;s a decent wage: \u201cWe don\u2019t like to talk about such things but now that Uggie has made his name and demand is so huge, people <em>are<\/em> willing to pay that bit more.\u201d He added: \u201cHe\u2019s developed a taste for Dom Perignon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Expensive tastes indeed. With comments like these you can&#8217;t help but wonder &#8211; has fame changed Uggie? Co-star Jean Dujardin thinks so: \u201cFame has gone to Uggie\u2019s head so badly that he now believes he can do anything. Next thing you know he\u2019ll think he can play a cat.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Well he does seem to be a particularly talented dog. Uggie beat fellow fido Blackie &#8211; from <em>Hugo<\/em> &#8211; in order to walk away with his &#8216;Best Dog in a Theatrical Film&#8217; award. Clearly his acting skills and tricks are what gave him the edge but maybe some of those cosmetic touch-ups have helped? Muller confirmed that Uggie does get a little help with his looks: \u201cHe has his teeth whitened,\u201d he said, \u201cand we have a make-up artist for when he\u2019s on set. They apply natural chalks and dyes to make sure Uggie looks his best.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>How does your favourite pet compare with Uggie? Do you think they could outshine him as a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modelsdirect.com\/become-a-model\/\" title=\"model\" target=\"_blank\">model<\/a> or even an actor on the big screen?
