Palm Dog Award Won by Canine Star of ‘Dog on Trial’ While ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ Breakout Messi Looms Large Over Cannes
Four-legged 'Dog on Trial' star Kodi has won the 2024 Palm Dog Award in Cannes, where 'Anatomy of a Fall' breakout Messi still loomed large.
The Palm Dog — Cannes’ annual celebration of on-screen canine performances which was last year won by the blue-eyed border collie from “Anatomy of a Fall,” the first step in a dramatic bound toward furry fame — has crowned a new champion. From Chinese director Guan Hu, the film stars Taiwanese actor and singer Eddie Peng as a man charged with removing stray dogs from his hometown before the Olympic Games. A year on, Messi is still lapping up the limelight, and appeared on the red carpet before Cannes’ opening night screening of “The Second Act” ahead of the likes of Meryl Streep and Greta Gerwig.
