In 2009 Oscars AR Rahman spelled his magic to bag two Academy Awards and once more he has got the chance to ‘Rise’ on the occasion with two nominations for another Danny Boyle’s survival drama ‘127 Hours’. Rahman has been nominated in the Best Song Category for ‘If I Rise’ in collaboration with British Pop star Dido.

Rahman is also nominated for the Best Original Score trophy where he will be competing with John Powell (How to Train Your Dragon), Hans Zimmer (Inception), Alexandre Desplat (The King’s Speech) and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (The Social Network).

Rahman has failed to bag any award at the Golden Globe after being nominated for the Best Original Score. The Mozart of Madras earlier, lost out in the same category at Golden Globe to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who won for their music in The Social Network.

Will Rahman ‘Rise’ against the same contenders at the Oscars, only time will tell?
