Indian music makes Oscar shortlist
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 23 January 2009
Contemporary Indian music accounts for several nominations at this year’s Oscars, because of the success of new Danny-Boyle-directed movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. There’s also a nod for CMU favourite MIA – which is kinda cool.
Of the three tracks nominated in the Music (Song) category, two are from the film – ‘O Saya’ and ‘Jai Ho’ – both by composer AR Rahman, and the former a collaboration with MIA.
Rahman’s score also gets a nod in the Music (Score) category.
