Oscars light on comics content
The sole comics-based pic nominated for an Oscar, “Persepolis,” was to no one's surprise passed over in the animated feature category for the heavy favorite, “Ratatouille.” Hard to be too upset by this, as both are excellent if completely different films.
The best comicbook mention of the night goes to supporting actress winner Tilda Swinton, who brought up the nippled Batsuit worn by her “Michael Clayton” co-star George Clooney in the camp-tastic “Batman & Robin.”

I'm looking forward to the day when a comic-based film gets a best film nod :-)
