‘Godzilla Minus One’ Grabs an Oscar Nomination for ‘Best Visual Effects’
Ahead of Toho’s Godzilla Minus One coming back to U.S. theaters in black & white on January 26 – for one week only – the film just became an Oscar nominee this morning!
Godzilla Minus One has scored an Academy Awards nomination for Best Visual Effects, and it’ll be competing with The Creator, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Society of the Snow, and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Takashi Yamakazi, Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi, and Tatsuji Nojima are the listed nominees for Godzilla Minus One.
This makes Godzilla Minus One the FIRST EVER Godzilla movie to be nominated for an Oscar, yet another feather in the cap for one of the best Godzilla movies ever made.
On that note, the film is roaring its way to $100 million at the worldwide box office.
Toho’s Godzilla Minus One, written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, sees an already devastated post-World War II Japan facing a new threat in the form of Godzilla.
Matt Donato writes in his 4.5 star review for Bloody Disgusting, “Minus One is a blessing to Toho’s kaiju franchise and a towering accomplishment for the entire kaiju subgenre.”
The rave review continues, “After thirty-plus films and nearly seventy years, Toho confidently delivers one of their best Godzilla movies to date.”
The film stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Sakura Ando, and Kuranosuke Sasaki, with music by Naoki Sato.
Godzilla Minus One is rated PG-13 for “creature violence and action.”

‘Graveyard Shark’ – Practical Suit Creature Feature Looks Like ‘Street Sharks: The Horror Movie’ [Trailer]
Indie shark attack horror movies are a dime a dozen, but every so often one comes along that looks quite a bit different than the others. That’s the case with Graveyard Shark, an upcoming indie horror effort that looks to feature a pretty awesome practical man-shark costume.
From director Matthew A. Peters, Graveyard Shark recently raised finishing funds on Indiegogo, and the DVD, Blu-ray and even VHS tape are up for pre-order from Mad Angel Films.
According to the site, pre-orders will begin shipping on July 19, 2024.
The team previews, “Graveyard Shark is a gripping horror film set in the small town of Willsboro Point, haunted by the terrifying urban legend known as the Graveyard Shark.
“This humanoid creature stalks its prey in the town graveyard, striking unexpectedly and leaving a trail of blood in its wake. Abby Wescott, a renowned cryptid hunter, is called in by Dr. Jan Lovnik to uncover the truth behind the urban legend. As Abby begins her investigation, she learns about the creature’s dark origins from Captain Issac Seyburn, who was present on the night the legend began. Together, Abby and Seyburn team up with a group of Graveyard Shark survivors to put an end to the creature once and for all.
“But as they journey deeper into the graveyard, they realize that the Graveyard Shark may be more intelligent and cunning than they could have imagined. As the body count rises and the stakes become higher, Abby and her team must confront their deepest fears and fight to survive against the deadly Graveyard Shark.”
Stephanie Ward, Michael John Gilbert, Berndele March, Ryan Santiago, Madisen Zabawa, Olivia Walton, Daniel DeFranco, and Olga Bogdanova star in the upcoming creature feature.
