M.I.A. NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR

M.I.A. was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song Thursday for “O… Saya,” her collaboration with A.R. Rahman from the movie Slumdog Millionaire.

“This is a great honor. Thank you to all the people who are supporting us and the making of a real story of a slumdog millionaire…maybe I can afford to book Dave Chappelle at the baby shower now,” says M.I.A. “Thank you again; My mum wants everyone to know what wonderful news this is for her.”
