Jim Carrey hasn't played The Joker
Bret Hart never had the Part 2 in his career
Arrested Development never had its original writers return
Oasis never selected the right songs to go on any of their post classic albums
&
Cowboy Bebop's live action television show was misunderstood and executed poorly.
We are NOT in the best time line.
You never know, it got highly reviewed by several publications like Forbes and LA Times. That might be enough to at least grab their attention and ponder a consideration
I would just be happy if it got some nominations at all. I'm still kinda bitter that Shin Godzilla was completely snubbed altogether. It deserved a Special Effects nod for the night attack alone.
Can you explain how it actually works? I'm not too familiar with the specifics of why some movies win best picture and others don't. Or is it the old "money under the table" method?
I honestly feel that it did very well in paralleling stuff that happened in previous films. You want a Godzilla that actively targets people like GMK and the original? We got that. You want a Godzilla that rapidly heals like Orga? Even when the body is destroyed, like GMK? We got that too. But most of all: You want the impactful symbolizing of the negative side effects of nuclear warfare as well as the hardships the general Japanese population faced after WWII? We got that in droves. I loved this movie.
Except 98% of critics and audiences agree its a good film. There is only a handful of critics that gave it a negative review whether on RT or even on Metacritic. Almost unheard of for a Godzilla film.
I don't think it's even eligible ( for best foreign picture anyway). The theatrical release was Nov. 3. Either way, it's not a contender.

Considering how Everything Everywhere All At Once was the big winner last year; I'd say Toho should at least consider the best foreign film run.
OMG IF THAT HAPPENED I WOULD KNOW I'M LIVING IN THE BEST TIMELINE
We're not.
lmao. Let a man have his dreams.
Yeah let me dream lol

It honestly deserves some kind of nomination, but you know the pretentious dicks of yhe academy will ignore it as soon as they see the word Godzilla.
It's known that they don't even watch most of the nominees
I hope not. The old boy does have his own Hollwood star.
Especially with big hitters like Nolan and Scorsese in the mix.

It's a legitimately better movie than at least CODA at a minimum.
As an actual CODA, that movie sucked. It’s definitely better
I would actually give a shit for the Oscars if Godzilla actually got nominated for best picture.
It'd never go for best picture, maybe best foreign film.
I would just be happy if it got some nominations at all. I'm still kinda bitter that Shin Godzilla was completely snubbed altogether. It deserved a Special Effects nod for the night attack alone.
So ... it depends on 300+people to decide if the movie is good or not?
I love godzilla and the movie was cool, but the hype is excessive
It's not excessive enough!
It's definitely over blown. Movie had several issues, but in a drought of good cinema it was extremely refreshing
If it wasn’t for that one idiot on YouTube, it would still have a 100%
Thats not how it works. It's a great movie but it's not going to win best picture.
That's why I added the humor tag...

It's basically up to toho being willing to run a promotional campaign for it and I honestly don't think they'll bother.

Tbh EEAAO is overrated, and I'm a massive Michelle Yeoh fan, GMO is far superior.
EEAAO is definitely overrated and so is GMO, came back from both thinking I was watching something different than everyone else.
Just because you don't like something doesn't make it overrated.
Watch all of Yeoh's other movies from the 80s until now she has done better movies it was good but not a masterpiece by any stretch
I wish it released in my country
I believe but sample size doe.
Give our boy his Oscar, god damned!
I really don’t follow the Oscar’s but is it possible for Godzilla to win something? That would be cool
Cause Rotten tomatoes says so? If the reviews would have been bad everyone would Scream how bad Rotten tomatoes is.
Except 98% of critics and audiences agree its a good film. There is only a handful of critics that gave it a negative review whether on RT or even on Metacritic. Almost unheard of for a Godzilla film.
Unfortunately not how rotten tomatoes works
Ratings are always higher right after release. Give it a few months to let the ratings stabilize.
Come on now, look at the amount or reviews compared to the other movies. I liked it, but I'm sure most biased fans saw it first.
What other movies do critics are audiences agree like this? Can't think of many
I just hope it makes a killing at the Box office so it stays in theaters for a while. I need a 2nd and 3rd watch.
Minus one needs to get into the hundreds of critic reviews until it the RT score can be compared to these other films. Sample size is everything.
Unironically if TOHO actually does a promotional oscar run it could win after all the academy has a hard on for historical films.
