A R Rahman's name once again naminated for Oscars

The Maestro of Madras has done us proud once again. He has got not one, but two Oscar nominations this year. Rahman has been nominated under the category of Best Original Score for the movie 127 hours and Best Song for ‘If I Rise’ from the same film. Rahman, who won the Critics Choice award, lost the Golden Globe to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross who scored music for The Social Network. Rahman also has a BAFTA nomination in his kitty. To add to the excitement the film 127 hours has also been nominated for the Best Picture. Rahman won two Oscars for the 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire and the film itself swept 8 Oscars. We are keeping our fingers crossed for a BAFTA win and also a double whammy in the Oscars once again!
