Some of you are saying that if Rahman does not win an Oscar, it won't really matter because we know how great he is, etc. etc. That's a nice psychological defense mechanism. While I agree that his greatness is not going to be denied or confirmed by an Oscar win or loss, I think we can safely say that most of us are going to be depressed come Monday morning if ARR doesn't win. Let's be real about it. The expectations are huge, and many people in the past few weeks are saying that it's almost a given that he will win. Again, IF he loses, it's not going to change my opinion about ARR and it's not going to take away what he has already achieved. I will have to console myself by saying that he is already a Golden Globe and BAFTA winner, which are facts.
Let's hope and pray that he wins to make it a sweep!
