Monster Zero x SciFi Japan - Archive Only

It is that time of year again (and this one is being dedicated to Haruo Nakajima, George Romero & Basil Gogos). Of interest to this fandom are:

This very site, Scifi Japan, is up for Best Website or Blog of 2017. G-Fan is up for Best Magazine of 2017. G-Fest is up for Best Con. And Steve Ryfle and Ed Godziszewski’s Ishiro Honda publication is up for Book of the Year.

The Best Short Film that I hope many of you will be voting on is Kong: Steel in Love. I found it to be quite a touching piece with the original 1933 Kong armature being brought back to life (via stop-motion) and looking at old photos, still very much in love with Fay Wray!

It's a pity that I won't be coming, since I live in New York and can't afford the airline ticket.

Well, the winners were announced this week, and like the Oscars, "Shape of Water" takes favorite movie. And "Kong: Steel in Love" won best short!!! Yay!!

Here are the complete list of winners (with Haruo Nakajima, among others, inducted into The Monster Kid Hall of Fame):
