Indy the dog stars in

With the film festival season drawing to a close, award season is heating up. Now is the time for aspiring Oscar hopefuls to make themselves heard. And props to one of our favorite performers of the year for raising his paw for notice.

Indy is sniffing his way into the Academy Awards conversation with a public letter to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The lead of the dog-centered horror/thriller Good Boy, Indy has been earning praise for his sensational performance since its world premiere at SXSW last spring. In my review as Mashable's Entertainment editor, I cheered the incredible charisma of this canine, writing, "Indy is just a star from his first frame."
