Rahman, the double Oscar-award winning composer, was competing with the likes of Alexandre Desplat ('The King's Speech'), Danny Elfman ('Alice in Wonderland') and Hans Zimmer ('Inception') at the awards here Sunday.

The David Fincher-helmed blockbuster drama 'The Social Network' is about the founding of the social networking website Facebook and its resulting lawsuits.

As Reznor once called it, the score is dark and the movie itself contains 18 songs, some of which are not found on the soundtrack. These include songs from The Beatles, Bob Marley, 10cc, Gluecifer and The White Stripes.

This was Chennai-based Rahman's second stint at Hollywood's second most prestigious annual movie prize after Boyle's Mumbai-based underdog drama 'Slumdog Millionaire'.

The soundtrack of '127 Hours' includes the popular song 'If I Rise', a collaboration between Rahman and pop star Dido that won the Mozart of Madras, as he is fondly called, the best original song award at the 16th Critics' Choice Movie awards Friday.

Rahman, who has composed several lilting tracks for Indian fils, bagged two Oscars in 2009 for best original score in 'Slumdog Millionaire' and its popular theme song 'Jai Ho'.
