CONGRATULATIONS TO A.R. RAHMAN

Well, of course I voted for Bruce Springsteen's "The Wrestler" from the film of the same name forthe Grammy for Best Song Written for Television, Motion Picture or Other Visual Media. But the award went to A.R. Rahman for "Jai Ho" from Slumdog Millionaire. I'm not too mad: the music from Slumdog was like an extra character, and it was an incredible soundtrack.  Slumdog Millionaire also got Best Compilation Soundtrack.

UPDATE: THE OSCARS STILL SUCK

Actually, that title isn't 100% fair.

I was happy that Slumdog Millionaire did so well at the Oscars last year, it deserved it, as did the film's music composer, A.R. Rahman. But not nominating Bruce Springsteen's "The Wrestler" was lame, as so was making all the nominated songs perform together as a medley (a decision that led nomoinee Peter Gabriel to decide to attend the Oscars, but not perform).

I've heard that this year they've decided not to have any musical performances at all. And they've just released thier short list of documentaries that they are considering for nominations this year, and it doesn't include Anvil! The Story of Anvil or It Might Get Loud. Weak!
