"The movie “Godzilla Minus One,” set in the waning days of World War II, won the Oscar for best visual effects, pushing aside such big-budget behemoths as "Guardians of the Galaxy 3," “Napoleon” and "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One."

“Godzilla Minus One,” from writer-director Takashi Yamazaki, marked the first time the prehistoric reptilian monster was nominated for an Oscar in the franchise’s 70-year history.

“Godzilla Minus One” became the highest-grossing Japanese live-action film ever in the U.S. and Canada."
