I wasn't expecting a nomination either but what is beautiful about all of this
is that we are fortunate enough to be living in an era where one looks for AR
in the Oscar nomination lists! I doubt even in the wildest of our dreams back
in the 90s would we have thought a day like this would come.
I am glad he did Couples Retreat but I would also like him to take on projects
that will really push him to his limits. Whilst watching Avatar on screen, I
couldn't help but wonder how much more appealing the soundtrack would have been
with AR in it (taking nothing away from Horner). The movie/story has so much
scope for Rahman and we could have had yet another masterpiece of a soundtrack
in our hands! Hope Rahman ('s agent) is sending off stuff to Cameron before the
music director is finalised for Avatar 2.

It was obvious that ARR wouldn't get it for Couples Retreat. If anyone
had serious expectations for it then you can blame the tabloid media for
creating all the hype. That's standard operating procedure for them.
It would have been awesome if Ennio Morricone (Baaria) and Marcel Barsotti
(Pope Joan) got nominated for the score. Tough luck. There were so many good
scores this year especially from Europe.
Desplat alone has had a dizzying array of terrific works (Coco Avant Chanel,
Cheri, Un Prophete, Twilight-New Moon, Julie & Julia). The man is simply
unstoppable! In many ways his trajectory is like how ARR was in the 90s-- one
stunner after another after another.
