The fifth and final Golden Globe nominated film score hits shelves today. A.R. Rahman's music for Slumdog Millionaire may put the composer on the American map. He's been something of a prolific writer for Indian films (averaging around seven films per year) but he's rarely seen attached to western films. Elizabeth: The Golden Age is one of his more recent memorable projects, although mainly memorable because the movie was such a disappointment.
The other album rolling out is Thomas Newman's score to Revolutionary Road. The last time Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio had to show some chemistry James Horner was setting the scene with his Academy Award winning music for Titanic. While Road is getting some awards attention, no signs point to nominations for Newman.
