Indian A R Rehman is facing stiff competition at the Oscars. Though, Jai Ho has become somewhat an anthem for anyone who has watched Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire, but still it’s facing still competition.
Danny Elfman for the score of Milk is due for an Oscar having already been nominated in previous years for his work in Big Fish, Good Will Hunting and Men in Black.
Thomas Newman for the music of Wall E has been nominated for this one too as well as Alexandre Desplat for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and James Newton Howard for Defiance.
The track could well win A R Rahman his first ever academy award. Jai ho’s track was written by legendary composer Gulzar and sung by Sukhvinder Singh, who will be performing the hit song live along with Rahman at the academy awards.
According to Sukhwinder Singh, “More than the fact that we’ve been nominated the most exciting thing is that we’ll be performing live.”
