The 70-year-old Japanese monster franchise made history this week with its first-ever Oscar nomination.
The nominations for the prestigious Oscars 2024 were announced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and the inclusion of the long-standing ‘Godzilla’ franchise in the Best Visual Effects category has been a pleasant surprise for fans and filmmakers alike.
Takashi Yamazaki’s latest film ‘Godzilla Minus One’ has earned the nomination, marking a significant milestone for the franchise. This nomination comes after the record-breaking American release of the film, which has garnered attention and praise.
The monster epic, starring Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, and others, follows a compelling storyline set in post-World War II Tokyo, and its visual effects have earned it a spot among the prestigious nominees.
The nomination puts ‘Godzilla Minus One’ in competition with other big-name films in the category, showing the recognition and impact of the Japanese franchise on the global stage.
