By Press Release

Members of the cast of Universal Picture's action-comedy "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" are kicking off the awards ceremony for the 22nd annual Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, this Friday night as part of Comic-Con International, the largest comic book convention in the Western Hemisphere.
The Eisner Awards, considered the comics industry's "Oscars," will be held in the Indigo Room at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront on Friday, July 23, 2010, at 8:30 p.m.
"Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," which opens August 13, is based on the graphic novel series by cartoonist Bryan Lee O'Malley. Volume 5 in the series is nominated in the Best Humor Publication category. Cast members from the film will be the first presenters of the evening, announcing the nominees and winners and three categories. Those expected to appear include Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Satya Bhabha, Alison Pill, Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza, Brandon Routh, Jason Schwartzman, Johnny Simmons, Mark Webber, Mae Whitman and Ellen Wong.
MC's for the evening are Maurice LaMarche, is best know as the voice of "The Brain" in the animated series Pinky and the Brain, and Bill Morrison, one of the co-founders of Bongo Comics with Matt Groening.
Awards will be given out in 29 Eisner categories. In addition, Comic-Con's own special awards will be presented: the Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award, the Russ Manning Promising Newcomer Award, the Bill Finger Award for Achievement in Comic Book Writing, and the Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award.
All who attend the awards will receive a free Will Eisner graphic novel. Eisner, in whose name the awards are given, is considered the "father" of the graphic novel, having popularized the term with his book A Contract with God, which was published in 1978.
The Eisner Awards are part of, and underwritten by, Comic-Con International, a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to creating awareness of and appreciation for comics and related popular art forms, primarily through the presentation of conventions and events that celebrate the historic and ongoing contributions of comics to art and culture.
