Academy award for AR Rahman ?

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.

We now look forward to the result for Rahman's second nomination in the original song category for If I Rise from 127 Hours.
