The team behind Godzilla Minus One brought their beloved character with them to the 2024 Oscars. The group walked the red carpet in shoes adorned with Godzilla sculptures gripping the heels, and holding figurines of the fictional monster inside the theater.

The Oscars red carpet isn’t the first place the figurines have traveled this awards season. They were first seen in a video of the group learning they earned a nomination, and later again at the Oscar nominees luncheon last month.

At the ceremony on Sunday, the Godzilla held by film director, writer and VFX director Takashi Yamazaki wore a matching bow tie. Later, the group also posted a video of the mini monster heading into Dolby Theatre for the event.
