Music director A R Rahman has won a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Score for his music in British director Danny Boyle's uplifting underdog tale 'Slum Dog Millionaire'.

The film has also earned three other nominations for Best Picture-Drama, Best Director for Boyle and Best Screenplay for Simon Beaufoy for the 2008 Golden Globe Awards given out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

The film narrates the heart warming story of an 18-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai who goes on to win a staggering Rs. 20 million on India's 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' game show.

Earlier this week, Slum Dog Millionaire won two awards from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association - Best Director for Boyle and Best Music for Rahman.

Currently playing in several major cities, Slum Dog Millionaire will open in 87 additional theaters across North America Friday and bring its total theatre count to 165.
