'Ugliest dog' Deadpool star among canine movie award hopefuls  Britain's ugliest dog who starred alongside Hollywood A-listers in "Deadpool & Wolverine" has been nominated for a FIDO award, perhaps the nearest thing to a canine Oscar, organizers announced on Sunday, October 20.  Peggy the pugese – a five-year-old pug and Chinese crested cross – has been recognized for her film debut as "Dogpool," alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.  "We have the biggest ever selection of dogs on the big screen. It's quite phenomenal and some amazing standout performances," said FIDO awards founder film journalist Toby Rose.  Other performances on the FIDOS (For Incredible Dogs On Screen) long list, announced in London on Sunday (October 20), include the red husky from the comedy horror "Nightbitch" in which Amy Adams' character adopts canine traits.
