Brad Lewis, mayor of San Carlos, was honored by the Academy when they <br />awarded an Oscar for "Ratatouille" as best animated film. <br /> <br />Lewis finds himself wearing two very different hats. Elected to the city council in 2005, Lewis <br />serves as mayor of San Carlos, a city of 28,000 in the San Francisco Bay Area. His day job <br />however is at Pixar where he is the award-winning producer who managed the creation of <br />"Ratatouille." <br /> <br />This is the first Oscar for Lewis, the recipient of several Emmys in the past. With this new award, <br />Lewis boasts a new accomplishment as well. He's become the first mayor to win an Academy <br />Award while in office. Clint Eastwood was mayor of Carmel from 1986-1988, but did not win any <br />of his five Academy Awards during that time. <br /> <br />"Ratatouille" was nominated for five Academy Awards: animated film, original screenplay, original <br />score, sound editing, and sound mixing. <br /> <br />Save the Date: League Events Scheduled for NLC 2008 Congressional City <br />Conference, March 10-12 <br /> <br />The League of California Cities is organizing a number of important events during the National <br />League of Cities Congressional City Conference, March 10-12, in Washington.
