He received two nominations for "Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Songs" for the tracks "O Saya" and "Jai Ho," as well as a nomination for "Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score." His work on Slumdog Millionaire also garnered him a Golden Globe for "Best Original Motion Picture Score."

Rahman works on a 32-fader Euphonix System 5 with the EuCon Hybrid at his AM Studios in Chennai. When composing he programs all his music in Logic Pro and then mixes on the Euphonix board. Euphonix's EuCon Hybrid control allows him to control Logic Pro directly from the System 5 control surface via high-speed Ethernet.

Since purchasing his System 5 Rahman has scored several Hollywood and Bollywood feature films, including Elizabeth: The Golden Age and Yuva. Most recently, Rahman used his System 5 to mix the soundtrack for the Hindi movie, Ghajini.
