Tilda Swinton On Her Clooney Bat Jab, Giving

She only just won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, but already, Brit Tilda Swinton has given it away.

Just as she promised to do on stage at Sunday night's Academy Awards, the flame-haired actress gave her gold statute to her agent, Brian Swardstrom.

"I've given it. I'm a man of my word," the lady said backstage at the 80th Oscars.

On stage at the Oscars, Swinton remarked that Swardstrom looked like the famed statuette and she told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush she first noticed the resemblance earlier in the evening.

"I thought it when we arrived tonight - all those fake Oscars outside. [He was] standing beside them, I'm [thinking] 'Oh, did anyone ever notice that?'" Swinton told Access.

Backstage after her win, Swinton told journalists that Swardstrom assumes the austere Oscar stance during business calls.

"If you see a guy at the Governors Ball looking like this, this is [Swardstrom] in his receiving position when I'm on the speaker phone telling him I'm going to do another art film in Europe," she laughed.

Swinton explained that Swardstrom deserved to keep the honor because of the many things he does to keep her life in gear.

"He checks my luggage and he gets me on the plane - I can't put it more plain than that," she said. "Seven years ago when I was working in Europe, I came to meet some people in America, thinking I'm never going to be able to work in Hollywood, there's no space for me here. He told me to come and take some meetings and I met some fantastic people who I continue to work with. And he gets it, you know, and I don't think I'm necessarily a kind of easy thing to get and I love him. He's great."

Swardstrom wasn't the only one Swinton had some fun with at the Oscars. Swinton explained to Access why she called out co-star George Clooney during her acceptance speech, even referencing Clooney's stint as "Batman."

"George Clooney deserves everything he gets. He deserves it all and he can take it." she told Billy Bush.

"You hit him in the nipples in a Batsuit, that's as low as you can go on a man," Billy suggested.

All joking aside, Swinton expressed her deep respect for Clooney.

"I love him so much and he's so great," she told Billy. "Michael Clayton is all about George Clooney showing people what screen acting is. And I'd wish he'd [been given] Best Actor tonight, to be honest with you."

In related news, last night Swinton also took time to explain her love life, which recently took center stage in the tabloids. Several articles suggested Swinton was married to the 67-year-old father of her twin 10-year-olds, while she was involved with a 29-year-old lover. Swinton is 47.

"I don't have a husband. I've never been married," she told reporters backstage.
She does however have two men in her life, Swinton explained.

"I have children with someone else, with whom I'm bringing up my children," she said. "And I've lived with somebody else… my sweetheart for the last three years, and maybe it's extraordinary that we're really all friends."
