Oscar award-winning musician A.R. Rahman’s victorious run at awards ceremonies continues with the Mozart of Madras getting nominated in two categories at the 2010 Grammy Awards for his Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack.

‘Jai Ho,’ which won Rahman two Academy Awards and a Golden Globe Award, is nominated in the category of ‘Best Song written for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.’ He has also been nominated in the category of ‘Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.’

This is the first time that the 44-year-old music director has been nominated for the Grammys, popularly known as the Oscars of the music industry.

‘Jai Ho,’ written by Gulzar for the 2008 film, will face off with Bruce Springsteen’s title track for The Wrestler, ‘Once in a Lifetime’ from Cadillac Records, ‘Decode’ from Twilight and ‘The Client’ from Hannah Montana: The Movie.
