The
Oscars
award
ceremony
is
a
night
for
the
stars
of
Hollywood
to
gather
together
and
celebrate
cinema,
while
also
looking
incredibly
glamorous
is
lavishly
expensive
and
immaculately
presented
couture.
And
yet
no
one
at
last
nights
awards—no
one—could
beat
the
hottest
look
of
the
night:
a
soft
vinyl
monster
toy
spray
painted
gold
and
given
a
lil’
bowtie.
The Godzilla Minus One team—sorry, the Academy-Award-winning Godzilla Minus One team—have have the time of their lives this awards season carting around a small toy replica of the movie’s titanic star with them. But they saved the best outing for Godzilla’s biggest night in 70 years of filmmaking at the 2024 Oscars, where Minus One’ VFX team (director Takashi Yamazaki, alongside Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi, and Tatsuji Nojima) brought a quartet of Godzilla figurines with them as a key part of their evening attire.
Not only did the team have co-ordinated Godzilla toys—Shibuya’s a variant featuring Godzilla glowing blue with energy as he prepares to fire an atomic blast, and Yamazaki’s being glitzed out in gold with a custom bowtie attached—they also rocked the the theming with their footwear, with each member of the party rocking Minus One-themed shoes that featured Godzilla’s claws as part of the heel design. Not only did they make history last night, securing the Godzilla franchise’s first-ever Oscar win, they looked stylish as hell doing it.
