3 Oscar Nominations for Rehman and 10 for Slumdog

After becoming the first Indian to win the Golden Globe, Melody maestro A R Rahman added yet another feat to his long list of startling achievements over the years, a triple Oscar nomination in two categories, an unprecedented exploit for any Indian.
Rehman nicknamed 'Mozart of Madras', has enthralled audience in the country and abroad with his heartwarming symphonies for years; finally got his due recognition on the international stage with his composition in the British movie 'Slumdog Millionaire' by Danny Boyle. Slumdog Millionaire is leading the pack with 10 nominations, including a directing spot for Danny Boyle and two of the three song slots.

Rehman, bagged nominations in the Best Original Score and Best Original Song categories for two of his compositions -- 'Jai Ho' and 'O Saya'.
I hope Rehman wins the OSCAR for all his three nominations. I have my fingers crossed till Feb 22nd 09.

UPDATE :

I guess my crossing paid really big. Rehman won 2 Oscars. Hurrray!!
