OSCAR NOMINATIONS 2008

The nods for movie music greatness are...

Achievement In Music (Original Score)
The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button - Alexandre Desplat
Defiance - James Newton Howard
Milk - Danny Elfman
Slumdog Millionaire - AR Rahman
Wall-E - Thomas Newman

Achievement In Music (Original Song)
Wall-E - 'Down To Earth'
Slumdog Millionaire - 'Jai Ho'
Slumdog Millionaire - 'Oh Saya'

...which means M.I.A. will be performing on the night, as she features in Slumdog Millionaire's 'Oh Saya'.

Can AR Rahman beat score-composing titans like Elfman, Newton Howard and Newman to the Oscar?  We hope so.  
"I am overjoyed by these nominations," Rahman said today. "And deeply grateful that the Academy has embraced the music of this film.  Slumdog Millionaire has paid magical dividends for so many people around the globe.  I am deeply honoured to be a part of a film that has inspired so many."
In other news, Mamma Mia and High School Musical are nowhere to be seen... YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
