People say Godzilla Minus One should have been nominated for Best Picture. But remember one thing: Director Yamazaki met Steven Spielberg at a party and was told by Spielberg himself he saw Godzilla Minus One 3 times because of how much he loved it. 3 times! Winning an Oscar is one thing to be proud of, but for Steven Spielberg to love a film, no other achievement comes close.

My best picture for 2023. The greatest Godzilla film ever and one of the best films in history.

[@timlehnerer8266]

And they played Ifukube's theme when everyone went up on stage!

It's a great time to be a G fan!! The VFX team that worked on this movie was only 35 people. CONGRATULATIONS TOHO!!! "That monster...will never forgive us."

[@arnoldolivarez948]

This should be called Godzilla Minus Won 🏆🤩

[@dustbintv2328]

Godzilla was a HUGE part of my childhood. I missed Minus One while it was in theaters. I absolutely cannot wait to watch it. On behalf of me now, and me as a kid in the mid to late 90s, thank you SO much Toho, and congratulations!

Japan knows not to force political mandates in movies.

[@zachmontminy]

​@@HermaphroGynandrothats not exclusive to Japan, pretty much most films outside the US.

[@Halinspark]

​@@HermaphroGynandroNot only is that not true, that's not even true for Godzilla. The original was political as fuck. Shin Godzilla more recently was also politically themed, and is widely considered one of the best in the franchise. Even Godzilla -1 was blatantly pointed at how the government at the time viewed their own people as disposable, and explicitly framed America as abandoning Japan to the whims of the angry lizard so they don't make Moscow mad. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean political messaging isn't there.

This is the second time two Japanese productions have won an Oscar! (Last time was from 2008)

[@exhaustedrambler8701]

I love how all of them are holding godzilla mini figures

[@BlazinNSoul]

Winning on the same night as Oppenheimer no less lol. Poetic in more ways then one. Congrats to the SFX team for their historic win. Should have gotten a best picture nod as well. Yes, it is that good here. I loved the mini statues as this was Godzilla's night as well. Not to mention justification for lower budget films which in this arena deserve a long overdue revival.

[@mmeetty]

I'm so happy!! So excited to hear the Godzilla theme on this stage. Well deserved!!

[@GojiraCartoonSciFiHorrorFan2K]

When they announced Godzilla Minus One Won The Oscar For Best Visual Effects, I had (And still do.) the biggest smile on my face & I was literally Cheering & Applauding while jumping up and down! This is The Most Phenomenal Moment & is a win for Godzilla, Toho & Godzilla Fans!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations Takashi Yamazaki, Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi and Tatsuji Nojima & Congratulations Godzilla!!!!!!!!!! Go Go Godzilla!!!!!!!!!!

[@wvang0013]

Making that movie for 15 million dollars is crazy! Well deserved.

[@zonilo1]

Does anyone remember that Godzilla won a Lifetime Achievement award from MTV back in 1996? He sure has come a long way since then....

[@LycanVisuals]

Well fucking deserved. Wished it was nominated in more categories.

[@jewstew]

finally after 70 years Godzilla got the Oscar he deserves

[@riffhousestudios96]

And the movie he deserves

[@margarethmichelina5146]

There are 3 epic moments of this video: 1. Godzilla Minus One won the Oscar and also becomes the first Godzilla movie to ever win the Oscar for 70 years of his apparence either in Japan or America. 2. The reunion of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito from movie Twins and also Batman and his villains even though Arnold's Mister Freeze wasn't Michael Keaton's Batman villain and Michael Keaton already on "You wanna get nuts" mode. 3. Arnold Schwarzenegger, everyone's favorite 90's action movie star said the name "Godzilla" or in his accent "Gah-ji-ra"
