Bruce Springsteen won the Golden Globe for best song for the title track from “The Wrestler,” while A.R. Rahman won the Golden Globe for best score for for “Slumdog Millionaire,” which becomes an odds-on favorite for Oscar recognition by taking home four awards Sunday night, the most of any film.
On the music side, Springsteen’s “The Wrestler” was released as a digital single last month and will appear as a bonus track on his new album, “Working on a Dream,” due Jan. 27 from Columbia.
It’s Springsteen’s second Golden Globe; he won in 1994 for “The Streets of Philadelphia” from “Philadelphia.” That year, he also won the Oscar for best song for the same track.
It was Rahman’s first Golden Globe nomination and win. Long considered one of the masters of Bollywood music, he has won nine Filmfare Awards and four Silver Lotus Awards, India’s two most prestigious film ceremonies. Western audiences may be most familiar with his work in 2007’s “Elizabeth: The Golden Age” and 2001’s “Lagaan: Once Upon a Time In India.”
Winners of the Golden Globes are determined by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and are often considered a precursor of contenders for the Academy Awards.
Nominations for the Academy Awards will be announced Jan. 22; the Oscars will be held Feb. 22.
