Oscar Musical composer AR Rahman has been honoured with a trophy for scoring background music to Malayalam movie
The Goat Life
The Oscar-winning composer won the award to score — independent film (foreign language) at a ceremony held at the Avalon Theatre in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Blessy, the director of the Prithviraj Sukumaran-starrer film, received the award on Rahman’s behalf at the ceremony.
In a video Rahman expressed his gratitude saying that “It’s an incredible honour to receive this award for the best score for the foreign language film The Goat Life. He feels deeply grateful for the Hollywood Music and Media Awards for recognising this score.
The composer went on to add that “The Goat Life”, based on the 2008 bestselling novel Aadujeevitham by Benyamin, was a “labour of love”.
Adding that he shares this moment with his amazing team of musicians and technicians, director Blessy and everyone who believed in the vision they brought to life. To his fans and supporters worldwide, thanks for unwavering, love, and inspiration.
Rahman was also nominated in the ‘Song-Feature Film’ category for the track Periyone, performed by Jithin Raj, but lost to musician HER’s track The Journey from The Six Triple Eight.
Organised by the Hollywood Music In Media Academy, the HMMAs honor original music (both song and score) across all visual media globally, including film, TV, video games, trailers, commercials, documentaries, and special programmes.
