Visual effects experts strike back at James Corden and Rebel Wilson's mocking CatsMovie segment at the 2020 Oscars ceremony

When presenting the Academy Award for Outstanding Visual Effects on Sunday night, the two actors walked out on stage dressed as theircharacters and openly mocked the film’s widely panned CGI effects. “As cast members of the motion picture, nobody more than us understands the importance of good visual effects,” they told the crowd at the Dolby Theater, to applause and laughter.

“Last night, in presenting the Academy Award for Outstanding Visual Effects, the producers chose to make visual effects the punchline, and suggested that bad VFX were to blame for the poor performance of the movie,” the Visual Effects Society statement reads. “The best visual effects in the world will not compensate for a story told badly.”

It continues, “On a night that is all about honoring the work of talented artists, it is immensely disappointing that the Academy made visual effects the butt of a joke. It demeaned the global community of expert VFX practitioners doing outstanding, challenging and visually stunning work to achieve the filmmakers’ vision.”
