Acclaimed music composer-double Oscar winner AR Rahman is yet again going to give stiff competition in the Academy Award race. Out of total 114 scores in contention for a nomination in the Original Score category for the 87th Oscars, the “Madras Mozart” scored 3 entries. Rahman’s work for ‘Million Dollar Arm’, ‘The Hundred-Foot Journey’ and Indian film ‘Kochadaiiyaan’ are included in the long list released by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Saturday (IST).
The shortlisted nominations for the prestigious awards will be announced on Jan 15, 2015, and the grand gala presentation ceremony will be held on Feb 22, 2015. Rahman had earlier delivered his twin win at the Academy Awards platform for Danny Boyle’s “Slumdog Millionaire” in 2009.
Accolades were poured in for his best original score as also the best original song “Jai ho” from the same film, with lyrics penned by Gulzar. In 2011, he had received two nominations for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards for his original score in Boyle’s ‘127 Hours’ as well as original song “If I Rise” for the same movie. Will Rahman repeat his magic? We have to wait and see.
