A.R. Rehman is phenominal.period. Though ARR is pitted against the world's best music directors,(3 of them were nominated for the Oscars 10 times, 8 times and 4 times respectively and never won it even once) in the nomainations for the best original score, its that billion Indian's prayers that will take him to the red carpet and clinch the oscar statue back to our home land. Apart from original score he is nominated in 2 other catogories...espically there are only 3 nominations for the original song and two of the nominations bear ARR s name against it, so hope against hope we will keep our fingures crossed... though most of them would argue the american's award does not mean any thing to India, all said and done, it is the highest internatinal honour any artist in the filmdom would want to recieve in his/her life time. So 10 nominations and a billion prayers.. lets hope the black oscar flies back toIndia. Other docoumentry film based on "cleft lip" and its correction..the trauma of a small girl pinky who turns into a "smily pinky" is also in the Oscar race for the best documentry, so keep the fingures of the toes too crossed.... One major disappointment was the film "Tare Zamen par"s failure to make it to the nominations for the best foreign film catogory... it was a real film with original script and dont know what made the jury to reject the India's offical oscar entry in the very first round. Hmmm! we were happy atleast India's choice was correct this time unlike the last year's eklavia disaster.
so tomorrow moring just like other die hard fans of ARR I too will be glued to NDTV at 4.30 am to follow the red carpet live.... lets hope at the end of the show we too sing..."Jay ho.."
