Oh Comma

I always thought there was a comma after "oh" in, "Oh, my God," but lately I've seen subtitles without that comma there. What is more proper or accurate, to have it or not to have it?

Thank you.

Hi, Generally speaking, I wouldn't expect people who write subtitles to spend a lot of time worrying about good grammar. in addition, the dialogue spoken by the characters is not always good grammar. I'd say that watching movies is good for your listening skills, and for idioms, rather than for grammar.
