M.I.A. at The Oscars!

So, the Oscar nominations are in.

Heath’s Joker for Best supporting Actor…”check”!

‘The Dark Knight’, ‘Iron Man’ and ‘Hellboy II’ getting nods in the special effects and make-up categories… a pleasantly surprising “check”!

No love for ‘The Dark Knight’ in best picture or best director categories…an disappointingly unsurprising “check”!

Best original song is an interesting one though:

WALL-E – ‘Down To Earth’ – Peter Gabriel & Thomas Newman

Slumdog Millionaire – ‘Jai Ho’ – A.R. Rahman

Slumdog Millionaire – ‘O Saya’ – A. R. Rahman & M.I.A.

That’s right, British/Sri-Lanken Electro MC M.I.A. being recognised by the Academy…nice!!! The Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack was also released on M.I.A.’s N.E.E.T. label.

The Oscars  roll around 22nd February.

M.I.A. has already made it clear she wants to take your money, so you may as well comply.
