This morning Hollywood woke up early to announce the nominees for the 81st annual Academy Awards. There are only a few categories I care about (sorry outstanding achievement in sound mixing). The Academy has a history of surprising when it comes to nominations and winners for Achievement in music written for a motion picture, or what us normal folks call Best Original Song. (Remember when Three 6 Mafia won for "It's hard out here for a pimp.") This year is no different. Only three songs were even nominated and two are from the same movie.
Wall-E, "Down to Earth" by Peter Gabriel and Thomas Newman
Slumdog Millionaire, "Jai Ho" Music by AR Rahman with Lyrics by Gulzar
Slumdog Millionaire, "O Saya" by AR Rahman and Maya Arulpragasam
