Subject: Cats movie loses big time at the Razzie Awards

Written By: Philip Eno on 03/19/20 at 11:20 am

Cats was the big loser at this year's Golden Raspberry Awards, which are given to the year's worst movies. The widely derided musical was given six Razzies, including worst picture and worst director for Tom Hooper. James Corden was named worst supporting actor, while Rebel Wilson was named worst supporting actress. The gongs were due to be announced at a live LA ceremony but instead took place via video link after the event was cancelled due to coronavirus concerns. The movie adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit stage show boasted a star-studded cast, which also included Taylor Swift and Dame Judi Dench. But its glitzy line-up couldn't save it from its haul of Razzies, which also included worst screen combo and worst screenplay.

Winners (losers) in full:

Worst picture: Cats
Worst actor: John Travolta for The Fanatic and Trading Paint
Worst actress: Hilary Duff for The Haunting of Sharon Tate
Worst supporting actress: Rebel Wilson for Cats
Worst supporting actor: James Corden for Cats
Worst screen combo: Any Two Half-Feline/Half-Human Hairballs in Cats
Worst screenplay: Cats
Worst director: Tom Hooper for Cats
Worst remake, rip-off or sequel: Rambo: Last Blood
Worst reckless disregard for human life and public property: Rambo: Last Blood
Razzie Redeemer: Eddie Murphy for Dolemite Is My Name

Last year we saw the trailer for "Cats", and I was so looking forward to it, now I feel I should be avoiding it.

Well-deserved. I didn't even want to see a pirated full copy of it after panning reviews.

That movie was scary. I prefer the Broadway play every day of the week.

John Travolta, the Daniel Day-Lewis of bad cinema.

After seeing the trailer, I didn't (and still don't) want to see it. If you want to see a decent production, try this one from 1998:

I must admit that I was a bit disappointed in it because they cut out a few songs and I didn't like some of the camera angles but overall, I would give about a B+.
