Universal has reportedly removed its much-maligned film Cats from Oscars consideration by taking it down from its FYC (“for your consideration”) page of qualifying movies.
Shortly after the film’s release, it was announced that Cats would be given a work-over with “improved visual effects”.
“Director Tom Hooper seems to have fully condoned and, possibly, even actively desired the chaos of Cats,“ The Independent’s review said.
The film is said to be so “shockingly bad” that it has prompted cinema walkouts.
