Hollywood is accustomed to celebrating long-overdue recognition for beloved actors, but this time, the spotlight shines on a colossal creature who has graced the silver screen since 1954.
Godzilla’s latest cinematic venture, “Godzilla Minus One,” has earned a nomination for Best Visual Effects at the upcoming 96th Academy Awards, marking a historic moment for the legendary creature. The announcement on Tuesday morning has stirred excitement among fans worldwide, as they rally to acknowledge the enduring legacy of Godzilla in the realm of cinema.
