The FIDOS , or For Incredible Dogs On Screen Award , is a film awards ceremony in the UK founded by Toby Rose. It honors dogs' performances and acknowledges their skills in movies (live or animated). The Palm Dog Award , a related event created by Rose in 2001, takes place at the Cannes Film Festival in France and is considered the sister award to the FIDOS . These awards were created in honor of Rose's late Fox Terrier, Mutt [ 1] [ 2] .
Fidos Award Awarded for Excellence dog performance in films Date October 28, 2007; 16 years ago (2007-10-28 ) Location London Country England
Toby Rose, a cinema journalist, established the Fidos Award in 2007. The inaugural ceremony was held at the BFI on the South Bank in London during The Times London Film Festival on October 28, 2007[ 3] . The Guardian dubbed the event as "The Canine Oscars". In 2009, the judges for the FIDOS were Evening Standard 's Derek Malcolm , Empire 's Angie Errigo, The Independent 's Kaleem Aftab, Heat Magazine 's Charles Grant, and The Times film critic James Christopher [ 4] . The event has since been moved to March.
Fido Awards collars [ edit ]
Like the Palm Dog Award , the Fidos Award also consists of a leather dog collar. However, unlike the Palm Dog Award , the collars shows the name of each category instead of the term "PALM DOG". In 2021, the documentaries, Stray and The Truffle Hunters were the joint winners for the Dog Dox and the Best in World categories.
