You know, I don't particularly care how many prizes this movie gets even though I’m happy for the guys behind it, but every time you post something Shin Godzilla related I go to Google to see if anything new has come up regarding a German release.

...

It actually has, they're even showing this in cinemas! Double feature with the original movie too!

Sweet. I just hope a cinema near me actually participates.

Oh thank the gods they did not give that lady with the horrible accent the award.

[ShinGi]

This is already the 4th Best Picture award that Shin Godzilla has won.

Its not really a "suit" design, G was fully CG in the movie.

Yep, and boy was it awful looking.

It depended on the scenes , also this wasn't a Hollywood movie with a budget of 100 million dollars but with a budget of 15 million it looked great. In the next movie be it a sequel or a new movie they should combine practical effect and CG. Shin already used nice miniatures .

I know it's not a Hollywood movie, but I'm not going to just excuse it for that. If you don't have the budget to do CGI right, then simply don't do CGI. They didn't need to make Godzilla CGI. A man in an actual suit would have been just fine.

The animatronic puppet for Godzilla malfunction so they had to use CG for Godzilla, also I don't think that this design could work as suit because of its small arms and very long tail.
