Universal has reportedly pulled Cats from its Academy Awards campaign, according to Buzzfeed News.
It’s been a weird month for Cats, the “nightmare-inducing” musical adaptation that blends fur and CGI to create its cast of felines, played by the likes of Dame Judi Dench, Idris Elba, and Taylor Swift. Following an abysmal box office opening and Universal sending out updated versions of the film with less terrifying CG, it appears that Universal has pulled Cats from its “For Your Consideration” page, which features other films like Us and 1917, all for the purpose of soliciting attention from the Academy Awards AKA the Oscars.
