Scorsese demands Blackie the Doberman be a nominee for the Golden Collar

Scorsese is not happy that "Uggie" received the nomination for the first Golden Collar Award for Best Dog and that "Blackie" did not. He believes its simply because Uggie is adorable and a terrier. Here's a section from the article:

“One recent morning, I turned on the television, and imagine my surprise when I heard the nominations for the first Golden Collar Awards for Best Dog in a Theatrical Film. “After all, we had Blackie the Doberman in our movie. How could she not be nominated? I listened in vain for Blackie’s name to be called, and then to all the hullabaloo over a certain Jack Russell terrier named Uggie.” Actually, he admitted: “Uggie is so adorable that he received two nominations for two separate pictures. Well done.”
