Actors James Corden and Rebel Wilson displayed a sense of humor about their turns in the widely panned movie musical "Cats" by showing up to present an award dressed in furry costumes and makeup, eliciting laughs from the audience.

"As cast members of the motion picture 'Cats' nobody more than us understands the importance of good visual effects," Corden said, alluding to the widely criticized, digitally created fur in the film.

After awarding the visual effects award to "1917," the pair pawed the microphone back and forth.

"Cats," Corden, Wilson and two other stars were nominated on Saturday for the Razzie awards, an annual ritual that lampoons the worst of cinema.
