# List of accolades received by Godzilla Minus One

Godzilla Minus One is a 2023 Japanese epic kaiju film directed, written, and with visual effects by Takashi Yamazaki. It is the 37th installment in the Godzilla film series and the 33rd Japanese-produced Godzilla feature. The film stars Ryunosuke Kamiki as a former kamikaze pilot who faced Godzilla during World War II and blames himself for the deaths caused by the monster, which later surfaces in Tokyo. Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Sakura Ando, and Kuranosuke Sasaki are featured in supporting roles.
Toho distributed the film in Japan on November 3, 2023, and in North America the following month via their subsidiary Toho International. Exceeding box office expectations, Godzilla Minus One has grossed over $115 million against an estimated budget of $10–12 million, becoming the highest-grossing Japanese-produced Godzilla film of all time. Godzilla Minus One received widespread critical acclaim, with particular praise towards its direction, screenplay, visual effects, performances, musical score, and social commentary. Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, surveyed 206 reviews and judged 98% to be positive.
Godzilla Minus One garnered numerous awards and nominations, particularly for Yamazaki's visual effects. It won Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards, becoming the first film in the franchise to be nominated for an Academy Award, the first Japanese film to be nominated in that category; and making Yamazaki the first director since 1969 (when Stanley Kubrick was nominated for 2001: A Space Odyssey) to receive a Best Visual Effects nomination at the Academy Awards. The film was also nominated for three Asian Film Awards, four Blue Ribbon Awards, four Hōchi Film Awards, six Mainichi Film Awards, and four Seattle Film Critics Society Awards. The film won eight awards (including Best Film) at the Japan Academy Film Prize, becoming the most-awarded film at the 47th annual awards.
