For the fifth year, the American Humane Association presents its PAWSCARS, an animal-centric take on the Academy Awards, recognizing animal performances in productions where “No Animals Were Harmed,” as certified by the organization’s film and t.v. unit.

The American Humane Association monitors the safety of about 100,000 animals on approximately 2,000 productions each year.

“With a 99.98 safety rate, that’s why the American Humane Association’s PAWSCARS are such a unique and wonderful recognition for these films that did the right thing by making sure the American Humane Association was right there,” says actor Michael McDowell, in a video presenting the awards.

If actors can be awarded for their performances, why can’t animals?



Awardees include:

The raven, in “Hitchcock” for Best Harbinger of Doom

Scotty, the dog in “Ruby Sparks” for Best Literary Muse

Richard Parker
, the tiger in “Life of Pi” for Best Human/Animal Bond
