honestly so mad nobody's paying scott and paul to be oscars commentators because oh my god ideal viewing experience. scott showed up an hour late because he didn't realize the show started earlier this year. paul had seen almost every movie and had a lot of opinions. scott had seen none of the movies and somehow had even more opinions. paul got ridiculously hyped when what was i made for won best song. scott was thirsting over john krazinski any time he appeared onscreen for two seconds and the comments got increasingly strange and specific. the three of us losing our minds for the entirety of john mulaney's bit. during "i'm just ken" scott was like why is this so homoerotic so i had the pleasure of explaining to him the lore behind cock ring ken (bellini already knew about cock ring ken but that's because i explained it to him back in august). jfc i want to do this every year. someone hire the three of us to host

Visual Effects: Godzilla’s Oscar Debut
Tumblr media
The nominees are:
The Creator
Godzilla Minus One
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One
Napoleon
VFX is one of this year’s most intriguing categories and one that’s still too close to call. The franchise juggernauts among this year’s nominees (Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning and Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3) are surprisingly not competitive this year. And while Napoleon’s impressive battle scenes have earned it a nod, its three nominations this year represent the extent of the Academy recognizing the impressive technical elements of an otherwise disappointing film.
This year’s real contest is between The Creator and Godzilla Minus One, with the latter shakily holding on to the title of frontrunner. The Japanese monster flick has earned a lot of deserved praise, and the fact that its formidable effects were accomplished on a total film budget of under $15 million is wholly impressive. The film swept at this year’s Japanese Academy Awards, picking up 8 trophies. It’s a film and story that Academy members would be happy to throw their support behind. And shockingly, it’s the first Oscar nomination for the franchise in its 70-year history.
But my vote would go to Gareth Edwards’ The Creator, whose visuals I thought were more consistently impressive and seamlessly woven throughout the film as an integral part of its storytelling. Although The Creator was the top pick of the Visual Effects Society, it hasn’t picked up any of the other major awards like BAFTA or Critics’ Choice, suggesting it may not have as much appeal with broader voting bodies like the Academy. And while it’s one of my top films of the year, it received generally mixed reviews, which also hurts it chances.
Who will win: Godzilla Minus One
But look out for: The Creator
Who I’d vote for: The Creator
If I could add one more: Oppenheimer

John Carpenter's reaction to Godzilla Minus One winning Best VFX at the Oscars is so heartwarming to me.
Tumblr media
He would've been eight years old when he saw the original American release of the first film. In his preteens, he was making short claymotion movies with his favorite movie monsters, including Godzilla. He's been a fan of this series since the inception, and it just won its first Oscar. He must've been feeling like a kid again.

A Wikizilla short on Godzilla Minus One's Oscar nomination, written and narrated by me and edited by @squid-in-a-party-hat. Turns out this site can't embed YouTube Shorts properly, who knew? Anyways, here's all the kaiju Oscars trivia I wrote for the comments:
King Kong has been much more successful at the Academy Awards than Godzilla. They didn’t have a prize for special effects back in 1933, but the King Kong remakes in 1976 and 2005 both prevailed in that category, while Kong: Skull Island was nominated. ‘76 also received nominations for cinematography and sound, and ‘05 won in sound mixing and sound editing.
During the opening of the 80th Academy Awards (2008), Peter Jackson’s King Kong delivered a flying kick to the TriStar Godzilla’s face.
Brad Pitt revealed that The War of the Gargantuas was the film that made him want to become an actor at the 84th Academy Awards (2012).
Japan has its own Academy Awards, which Shin Godzilla dominated in 2017. Godzilla Minus One may fare even better, having picked up 12 nominations to Shin's 10. Godzilla as an awards darling, who would’ve thought?
The 90th Academy Awards (2018) paid tribute to original Godzilla suit actor Haruo Nakajima in its In Memorium section.
Juliette Binoche (Sandra Brody in Godzilla [2014]) is the only Oscar-winning actor to appear in a Godzilla film. Other Oscar-winning or Oscar-nominated actors with kaiju connections include Nick Adams, Demián Bichir, Jeff Bridges, Adrien Brody, Bryan Cranston, Brian Donlevy, Vera Farmiga, Robert Forster, Naomie Harris, Anne Hathaway, Sally Hawkins, Brian Tyree Henry, Samuel L. Jackson, Richard Jenkins, Rinko Kikuchi, Jessica Lange, Brie Larson, John C. Reilly, David Strathairn, Russ Tamblyn, Ken Watanabe, and Naomie Watts.

Ruth E. Carter’s work cannot be understated, beyond the cinematography, lighting, and VFX; her work is the true bow that holds it all together.
I can feel that Oscar in her hands.

Godzilla Minus One won the Oscar for Best VFX! Right after sweeping the Japanese Academy Awards in all eight of the categories it was nominated for, including Best Picture. It's super exciting to watch a kaiju film get all these wins, especially for the incredible effects Minus One had. We've come a long way since the original foam rubber suit, but you can tell, especially from this installation, that the series hasn't forgotten its roots. As I'm sure many of my internet friends here know, kaiju movies mean a lot to me, and seeing this incredible film garner such international recognition makes me really excited. Here's to seventy more years of the Big G and his continual trail of destruction.

I wanna talk about the Cliff scene!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mohamed Diab basically explains that Oscar did the whole scene of Marc and Steven conversing in a take with the camera just panning between himself and the mirror as a transition between Marc and Steven. Like??? Oh my GOD
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oscar literally manages to change his whole demeanor, his facial expressions, accent, and his posture in SECONDS while the camera pans from Steven’s reflection on the mirror to Marc. I honestly thought that this scene was filmed separately, and they had VFX for Steven’s reflection but nope. It was filmed in a shot with the camera panning back and forth between Oscar and his actual reflection and gODDAMN.
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. Oscar Isaac is so damn talented and if he doesn’t win an award for this—if MOON KNIGHT doesn’t win any awards for the production as a whole, I will riot. I swear.
