"I was like, it's me or the cats.' Cat-lovers have responded with indignation and condemnation, sparking a wave of headlines and warnings that kitty karma could deny Buckley, 36, her first Academy award. She attempted to repair the damage on Jimmy Fallon's chatshow on Thursday, saying it was a misconception that she loathed cats."
"I am a lover of cats. I woke up this morning [thinking]: does the world think that I really don't love cats? And it's really weighed on me all day. I felt sick. Buckley said she had auditioned in vain for the 2019 musical Cats."
"I'd come home and there'd just be, like, poo on the pillow. Buckley prevailed over the pets. Buckley's performance as Agnes Shakespeare in Hamnet has secured multiple awards, including the Critics' Choice, Golden Globe, Bafta and the Actor awards, and she is favoured to win an Oscar at Los Angeles on 15 March."
Jessie Buckley, the favorite for the Best Actress Oscar for her role in Hamnet, encountered controversy after comments she made on a podcast resurfaced, where she expressed antipathy toward cats and stated an ultimatum to her husband to remove his two cats due to behavioral issues. Cat lovers responded with online indignation, sparking concerns that negative sentiment could affect her Oscar chances. Buckley appeared on Jimmy Fallon's show to clarify that she actually loves cats, attributing the misunderstanding partly to a failed audition for the 2019 film Cats. Her co-star Paul Mescal also made disparaging remarks about cats during the same podcast episode. Despite the controversy, Buckley has won multiple prestigious awards for her performance, including the Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Critics' Choice.
