    Once again the Academy finds a way to insult VFX artists. Usually it’s a dumb joke about “geeks” or “nerds”, this year it was a dumb joke implying the failure of “Cats” was poor VFX.

        I couldn’t believe how mean-spirited that was. To insult the people who pulled untold late nights and weekends to hit impossible deadlines for management and story issues

        Yes, all the artists could have drank beer all day and left the shots unfinished to get that same response. VFX is a zero sum game.

        I'm not a fan of the Academy. Everything has to have a political motive and has gotten away from being in the movie business

        The biggest irony is that the most artistic of all the movie professions is arguably VFX, definitely we were the ones who had to study the most

        Cats was greenlighted because they thought #VFX could make it so. Therefore, since it failed, it must be because of #VFX, not the initial idea of Cats movie . . . 🙄

        Especially since if the VFX studio had more freedom with the character design I bet they would have done a great job but they had to cater to the vision of some F-uped individual that now makes them take the fall for its stupid vision.

        Sometimes you have to take a humble bow when the audience laughs not at the punchline, but you tripping as you enter stage left... so long as the audience enjoys the show. Our roles are always merely in service.

        Agreed. James Corden has got too big for his boots. Those comments from that pair were WAY out of line. CATS is absolutely not my thing, but the folks who did that pulled out a lot of stops. A lot of angry people today with that.
