Godzilla Minus One - December 1, 2023

[Khev]

But their acceptance speech was a complete disaster lol

It matches Godzilla perfectly

Oh was it, lol. I just got an email from Super7 saying it won so I didn't see it play out on TV. I refuse to watch even one second of Jimmy Kimmel.

The director should’ve just accepted the speech in his native language with a translator like he did in all of his interviews during the press tour and just said thank you in english.

But nope, it was a disaster lol

Him handing over the Godzilla collectible for the oscar was funny though.

And they were given the awards by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito -- minutes after the "Twins" picked a fight with Michael Keaton.

It's a good night to be a nerd.

It wasn't that bad, I would be scared s***less trying to give a speech in another language personally. Regardless, an awesome moment for the franchise.

Looking forward to seeing miles of Japanese names listed in the SFX credits in the coming years.

What they did for $15M got them that Oscar.

Believe me when I tell you…how they handled their acceptance for the FIRST and probably last Oscar in TOHO history is already a huge insult in their corporate culture over there.

The Japanese just don’t do that.

They may have botched the acceptance speech but their choice of matching footwear won the night:

So amazing to see a franchise I have loved for almost my entire life, 37 years, get this type of recognition. This movie deserves even more.

Having Arnold announce it was icing on the cake.

very cool! Godzilla is such a versatile character. Can be fun and silly, serious and scary or a heroic monster

LOTR were cheap for the level of visual effects!

so wtf is disney doing with all those million they put into those newer mcu films cause they been looking like trash. I guess green screens cost money?

 

[JacktheRipper]

I think when your heart is in a project, it shows. Yeah, I know there are other factors at play .ie money and time. You can tell a little more effort was put in. I'm not completely in love with Godzilla Minus One, but damn some of those visuals were beautiful and scary.

Disney has a process that's extremely inefficient because they value speed and the ability to make changes long down the production which means they waste a ton of money on logistics.
With Godzilla Minus One, the director was also the VFX supervisor over a single team. As someone who had worked in VFX he knew what he wanted and he could communicate that immediately with his artists and didn't waste so much time and money.

If GMO wasn’t nominated I would’ve given it to Creator.

Nailed it! It shows with projects like this and The Creator, that if the director/producer has a background, or at least a good understanding of VFX, there’s more bang for buck.
Good on them for getting the award. There were some amazing effects. It really felt like there was a full scale creature chasing their boat.

Gareth Edwards was on Corridor Crew recently.

One episode dedicated to The Creator, another to Rogue One, Monsters and Godzilla.
