by JACKSON SINNENBERG | The National Desk Kiyoko Shibuya and Takashi Yamazaki, winners of the Best Visual Effects for "Godzilla Minus One", attend the Governors Ball during the 96th Annual Academy Awards at Dolby Theatre on March 10, 2024 in Hollywood, California. As the "Godzilla" franchise marks its 70th anniversary this year, the franchise centered around the titular "King of the Monsters" was crowned with an award that had long-eluded it: an Academy Award.
Director, screenwriter and visual effects supervisor Takashi Yamazaki also became the first director since Stanley Kubrick to be nominated in the "Best Visual Effects" category -- that win was also Kubrick's sole Academy Award out of 13 nominations. Yamazaki was embraced backstage by the night's big winner, "Oppenheimer" director Christopher Nolan, after members of the entertainment media asked the Japanese director about the links some fan highlighted between their films.
Of course, the relationship or the juxtaposition was not intentional,” Yamazaki said of the two movies.. “As we were making the film, the state of the world and the geopolitical scene has changed quite a bit. It almost feels fated that both of these films were released in the same year.
