‘Cats’ declawed:

Universal has put the final nail in the musical movie's efforts to win awards by removing “Cats” from its For Your Consideration page, which lists the studio's qualifying movies along with a guide to individual categories. The film also is reportedly not featured on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' streaming platform, where members can watch Oscar contenders. The Tom Hooper-directed adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical has been universally panned. The one original song in the movie, “Beautiful Ghosts” by Webber and Taylor Swift, was not shortlisted for the Oscars, but it did nab the film's sole Golden Globe nomination.
