Amit
Trivedi
...and
the
Golden
Globe
goes
to....and
the
Oscar
goes
to....wait!
There
is
still
time
to
announce
the
winners.
Just
a
few
weeks
ago,
A.R
Rahman
tweeted
about
his
Golden
Globe
nominations
for
his
film
127
Hours
under
the
Best
Original
Score
category.
Then
a
few
days
later
an
article
gets
published
about
his
soundtrack
'If
I
Rise'
with
Dido
from
the
film
127
Hours
stating
that
the
song
is
shortlisted
in
the
Best
Original
Song
category
at
the
83rd
Annual
Academy
Awards.
So
if
you
think
that
A.R
Rahman
is
going
to
get
an
easy
way
out
this
time
around
too,
you're
mistaken.
'The
Mozart
of
Madras'
is
facing
his
toughest
competition
till
date
at
the
Golden
Globes
this
year
and
surely
to
face
the
same
at
this
years
Academy
Awards
too.
The
competitors
are
fierce,
strong
headed
and
acclaimed
for
their
original
score
in
films
like
Inception
and
The
Social
Network.
They
are
Hans
Zimmer
and
the
duo
Trent
Reznor
and
Atticus
Ross.
Add
A.R
Rahman
to
the
list
and
you
can
see
how
tough
the
final
decision
will
be.
The
only
thing
that
can
go
in
the
maestro's
favour
is
that
his
film
127
Hours
is
still
not
released
theatrically
in
India.
So
when
Inception
came,
the
whole
country
went
ga-ga
about
Zimmer
and
his
drones.
A
month
ago
when
The
Social
Network
released,
the
nation
went
ballistic
at
the
way
the
duo
music
composers
from
Nine
Inch
Nails
went
about
to
score
their
film
with
a
mix
of
eccentric
and
electronic
sounds.
The
question
everyone
is
asking
now
is,
'What
will
the
reaction
be
when
India
watches
127
Hours
in
theatres?'
'Will
Inception
and
The
Social
Network
take
a
back
seat?'
So
without
being
biased,
we
ask
the
newest
of
music
maestro,
Amit
Trivedi
for
his
feedback
on
his
idol,
mentor
and
inspiration,
A.R.
Rahman.
Don't
be
surprised
if
you
get
a
biased
answer.
Amit
quotes,
"A.R
Rahman
has
been
my
inspiration
and
will
always
be.
But
I
am
not
being
biased
here.
I
have
seen
Inception
and
The
Social
Network
and
have
heard
its
OST.
I
still
have
to
see
127
Hours"
He
adds,
"I
have
heard
the
OST
of
127
Hours
and
let
me
tell
you,
there
is
something
magical
about
127
Hours.
There
is
strong
competition
for
A.R
Rahman
this
time
because
the
new
guys,
Trent
Reznor
and
Atticus
Ross
have
'nailed
it'
with
their
score.
It's
a
never
before
heard
score
which
they've
come
up
with.
I
personally
enjoyed
The
Social
Network
music.
In
my
opinion,
even
Hans
Zimmer's
Inception
is
a
near
favourite.
But
one
thing
is
for
sure;
I
hope
and
pray
that
A.R
Rahman
wins
either
an
OSCAR,
BAFTA
or
a
GOLDEN
GLOBE
this
year"
...and
who
do
you
think
the
winner
is?
