No problem! Just watch this video, created by [The Pet Collective](https://www.youtube.com/user/ThePetCollective "undefined"), which reenacts all eight films in just three minutes using a painfully cute baby pug. All the movies get new, dog-appropriate titles, like _American Sniffer,_ _Selmutt_ and _Puphood._ The pug totally nails all the roles — even if some, like Stephen Hawking, are maybe a _tad_ insensitive. Mostly, though, it’s just really, really cute. This video should get all the Oscars instead of the actual movies. _Read next:_ [_Everything You Need to Know About This Year’s Oscars_](http://time.com/3713258/oscars-2015-everything-you-need-to-know/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3716509/oscar-best-picture-nominations-pug-puppy/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3716509/oscar-best-picture-nominations-pug-puppy/"},"headline":"Watch an Adorable Pug Puppy Reenact This Year's Oscar Nominees","datePublished":"2015-02-20T17:28:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:17:02.570Z","description":"All the Best Picture noms become so much cuter and less depressing","url":"https://time.com/3716509/oscar-best-picture-nominations-pug-puppy/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3716509/oscar-best-picture-nominations-pug-puppy/","name":"Watch an Adorable Pug Puppy Reenact This Year's Oscar Nominees"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"10 Questions with American Sniper Chris Kyle","description":"Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, who earned two Silver Stars in Iraq, explains the sniper's point of view","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/PpZTJML8/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2012-01-05T23:07:27.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/PpZTJML8.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3716509/oscar-best-picture-nominations-pug-puppy/","duration":"PT6M10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3716509/oscar-best-picture-nominations-pug-puppy/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
