If you've enjoyed seeing a cute, fluffy white dog on screen this year, chances are it was Olivia - the three-year-old West Highland white terrier with a booming Hollywood career.
She's had major roles in hit films Widows and Game Night, along with Netflix series Insatiable.
Now, calls are being made for Olivia to get an Academy Award nomination.
The pooch weighs about 7kg and reportedly had her own trailer on the set of Widows. In that critically acclaimed film from Steve McQueen, Olivia plays the pet of a grieving wife forced into a life of crime by gangsters her deceased husband owed money to.
One of the villains menacingly grabs the dog while threatening her human companion - but she survives, and later in the film plays a key role in a shocking revelatory scene.
When Olivia's Game Night co-star Jason Bateman spoke to MTV International about their working relationship, he accidentally thought she was male.
"He was pretty easy. He didn't talk that much, he was pretty serious about what he was doing," said Bateman.
"He was nervous - he peed on the set. He had a real weak bladder on him. But he did hit his mark, was there on time, didn't complain that much and the scene went pretty quickly."
In the acclaimed comedy, Olivia is the focus in a scene that has a human character accidentally stain her beautiful white fur with blood.
Insatiable is described as a black comedy/drama released on Netflix in August. Olivia didn't play a main character on the show, but rather starred in one impactful scene.
Alyssa Bereznak of The Ringer explains in her column - entitled Give the Dog From Widows an Oscar - that her Insatiable role was "a brief but memorable cameo in a high school bikini dog wash (?) as a customer who is transformed from dirty to fluffy".
It's not just The Ringer calling for Oliva to get Oscar consideration, either.
"Hey, Academy: We have a very, very good girl for your consideration," writes Vulture's Devon Ivie.
"Give her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination!" commands The Wrap's Beatrice Verhoeven.
Michael Nordine at IndieWire laments that the Oscars doesn't have a Best Supporting Animal category, but even more woefully notes that Olivia wasn't eligible for the 2018 Palm Dog award, as none of her work played at the Cannes Film Festival.
As buzz around the canine superstar grows, however, one can only wonder about the awards she'll likely amass over what's likely to be a long, prosperous career.
Olivia can be seen in New Zealand cinemas now, as Widows is currently playing nationwide.
