'Godzilla: Minus One' makes history by winning the Oscar for best special effects

If there is one thing that the visual effects team of Godzilla: Minus One has achieved tonight, it is that no one takes their eyes off them. Already on the red carpet they have captured the attention of the attendees with their monster-themed shoes, which have captured all the flashes. And, a few hours later, they did the same, winning the Oscar award in their category.

Takashi Yamazaki's team took the stage visibly excited by such recognition. It is the first of the more than thirty films in the franchise to be nominated for an Oscar and also win it.

It is not the only point in which it has made history, as the feature film can also proudly say that it has become the highest-grossing Japanese film ever released in the North American market.

The achievements have been achieved despite the fact that its production cost is only 15 million dollars and it had a visual effects team that did not exceed 40 artists.
