Springsteen, Rahman Snag Musical Golden Globes Bruce Springsteen January 11, 2009 08:23 PM ET Ann Donahue, L.A. Bruce Springsteen won the Golden Globe tonight (Jan. 11) for best song for the title track from "The Wrestler," while A.R. Rahman won best original score for "Slumdog Millionaire."
It's Springsteen's second Golden Globe; he won in 1994 for "Streets of Philadelphia" from "Philadelphia." That year, the same song also won the best song Oscar. "The Wrestler" was released as a digital single last month and will appear as a bonus track on Springsteen's new album, "Working on a Dream," due Jan. 27 from Columbia. It's the first Golden Globe win for Rahman, an Indian music legend who has begun to reap acclaim internationally in recent years. 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. http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/springsteen-rahman-snag-musical-golden-globes-1003929219.story -- regards, Vithur
