A Date with Uggie the Dog from 'The Artist'

The Artist is the toast of the town with 10 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and our own Christina McLarty is celebrating with the precocious pup!

Christina gets into the spirit of the film in a '20s-style silk gown and hairdo as she lounges at Bar Marmont at the famed Chateau Marmont in Hollywood -- and Uggie struts in on his hind legs, sporting a bow tie! The two share a fawning moment until waiter David Arquette delivers food that Uggie's not too pleased with. Watch the video to see what happens next!

The 84th Oscar Nominations Are Out!

Set during the roaring '20s in Hollywood, The Artist stars Jean Dujardin as George Valentin, a silent movie superstar whose career is threatened by the advent of the talkies. When he meets a beautiful, up-and-coming young talent ready for her big break (Berenice Bejo), their destinies become magically intertwined. The film is in theaters now.
