In a way ARR having 2 out of 3 is not a good news as far as probablity of winning the award goes. The voting jury will be split between people who loked SDM and the ones who prefered the other. Now the people who liked SDM will again get split into 2 groups whereas all the votes for other one is consolidated. Say if Wall-E gets 40% vote and both SDM songs get 30% each, Wall-E wins despite SDM winning 60% votes. Hope all the jury who liked SDM votes for the same song and we dont lose out due to split voting. Best wishes ARR
