Martin Scorsese, director of Hugo, fights Doberman Stereotyping:

"While I have been extremely heartened by the reception of my movie"Hugo,"I feel that there is one area where we've been severely slighted.

I have been cautioned against speaking out on this issue lest I create the appearance of churlishness. Well, I'm going to have to risk it.

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?"

"Best dog in a theatrical film"? That award would most likely give rise to a steady stream of unsavoury jokes.
