Yes, really. It is estimated to have been about $15 million dollars. I was watching Caravan of Garbage on GI Joe: Rise of Cobra (2009) and that had a budget of $175 million.

IIRC, the studio hasn't really come out and said what the budget was, but there was an interview with the director where journalist type asked him some question about the movie and threw "$15 million budget" into the line of questioning, and he quipped back "I wish we had that much". Which, depending on how accurate all of that is, makes things all the more impressive
Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color will be in U.S. theaters starting Friday, Jan. 26. Both versions of the film will end their theatrical run on Feb. 1.
If it's in your local theater and you want to see it, then don't wait.

I didn't realise that Godzilla: Minus One picking up a Best Visual Effects nod was apparently the first time a film in the franchise had been nominated for an Oscar...

While I do love me a good Godzilla movie, they are not exactly Oscar bait. The academy has some very specific biases and preferences.
While many VFX-driven films boast of using thousands of VFX shots, the $15 million kaiju film, the first Godzilla movie to ever receive an Oscar nomination, used only 610 VFX shots. The lion’s share were in the ten-plus-minute finale showdown.
Now we know how they managed to keep the budget down
