New Delhi:
Oscar glory eluded AR Rahman's 127 Hours track in the Original score and Original Song category. He lost the Original Score Oscar to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for The Social Network.
And later the Original Song to Toy Story 3's We Belong Together by Randy Newman.
Earlier this month, AR Rahman lost out on a British Academy of Film and Television Arts award in the Best Original Music category to Alexandre Desplat, who bagged the trophy for his score in The King's Speech.
The Oscar-winning musician was in the race for his second BAFTA award, after being nominated for Danny Boyle's 127 Hours. He had won a BAFTA in 2009 for his work in Slumdog Millionaire.
Even though the 45-year-old composer failed to grab a BAFTA this year, he has already bagged the Best Original Song award at the 16th Critics' Choice Awards in January for If I Rise from 127 Hours.
Rahman was also nominated at this year's Golden Globe awards for his music in 127 Hours, but lost out to The Social Network.
Not just Oscar losses, but ARR's live performance was slammed by some. 'The New York Times' had this to say: A.R. Rahman with Florence Welch (not Dido as on the recording), performing "If I Rise" from "127 Hours" traded the song's intriguing rhythmic push-and-pull for a sustained drone and no beat at all, making it something like a devotional song--or at least a Bollywood devotional song. It was a moment of deliberate stillness within the Oscars' lumpy pacing
