THE WIDELY panned movie musical “Cats” and four of its stars were nominated on Saturday for Razzie awards, an annual ritual that lampoons the worst of cinema. James Corden, Judi Dench, Rebel Wilson and Francesca Hayward received Razzie acting nominations for their “Cats” roles, in which they were costumed in digitally created fur. John Travolta received two Razzie nominations this year for “The Fanatic” and “Trading Paint,” as did Anne Hathaway for “The Hustle” and “Serenity.” Her “Serenity” co-star Matthew McConaughey also was named. The worst screen combo category piled on “Cats” with a nomination for “any two half-feline/half-human hairballs.”It was not all bad news. Razzie nominees and winners are voted for online by around 1,000 Razzie members from more than two dozen countries, who sign up online and pay a US$40 membership fee.
