The French animated movie Persepolis has been nominated for Best Animated Feature for the 2008 Oscars. However, Persepolis, the highly-acclaimed movie based on Marjane Satrapi's novel, missed out on the coveted Best Foreign Language Film category.

This year's Oscars are still up in the air as the writers strike has yet to be settled. Persepolis's (Sony) competition in the animation category is Ratatouille (Walt Disney) and Surf's Up (Sony).
