The Banshees Of Inisherin may have missed out at the Oscars but it triumphed at the Fidos today when canine star Morse won special collars for Comedy Canine and Best in the World. The busy border collie, who played loyal companion Sammy alongside Brendan Gleeson, was unable to attend, so Kerry Fox and her canine friend Snowpe stepped in to pick up the awards on his behalf.
The ceremony, held in London’s Chiswick Cinema, saw the Dogmanitarian award go to Kean Cao for founding the brand new International Animal Future Film Festival, a Chinese event which celebrates filmmaking from the perspective of animals and aims to encourage more filmmakers to make animal films in a harmonious and professional way which raises awareness of how humans should live in harmony with animals in the future.
