Rahman was nominated in the Original Score category for his music in director Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours but lost to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, composers of the music in blockbuster The Social Network.
Hopes for Rahman were quite high because just a day earlier he had won the best original song trophy at the 16th Critics’ Choice Awards for his number ‘If I Rise’ from the same film.
Rahman had won his first and only Golden Globe award in 2009 for Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire. Later that year, he won two Oscars (Best Original Score and Best Song) for his work in Slumdog.
Now, Rahman’s hopes are pinned on Oscars which will be held at the end of February. He’s nominated for his song ‘If I Rise’.
