Indy, the dog star of ‘Good Boy’, has been nominated for Best Performance in a Horror or Thriller at the Astra Film Awards. He is the first animal actor to be nominated for a major acting award that had only recognized human performers before.
A request on Indy’s behalf was sent to the Academy earlier asking for them to consider giving him an Oscar nomination: “I understand you have rules to protect my human co-stars, but no such rules exist to recognize the rich and complex contributions of our canine thespians. How many great performances must go overlooked before the academy throws us a bone?”
