Godzilla Minus One Achieves Oscar Nomination and Breaks Box Office Records

The black-and-white rendition of Godzilla, directed by Takashi Yamazaki, has been nominated for Best Visual Effects at the Oscars, showcasing its success both critically and financially.

Godzilla Minus One, a black-and-white version of the iconic monster movie, has received an Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects.
Director Takashi Yamazaki created the film with a budget of less than $15 million, showcasing impressive visual effects that outshone those of big-budget Marvel movies.
The film's success extended its theatrical run in North America and grossed over $100 million globally, becoming the third-highest-grossing foreign-language film in the U.S.
Yamazaki emphasized the scarier aspect of the black-and-white format, adding special effects to enhance the realism and terror.
The director also focused on comfortable working conditions for the VFX crew, including a designated sushi chef, to ensure a creative and efficient production environment.
