London: Music maestro AR Rahman lost out on a British Academy of Film and Television Arts award in the Best Original Music category to Alexandre Desplat, who bagged the trophy for his score in 'The King's Speech'.
The Oscar-winning musician was in the race for his second BAFTA award, after being nominated for Danny Boyle's '127 Hours'. He had won a BAFTA in 2009 for his work in 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
Even though the 45-year-old composer failed to grab a trophy at Sunday's ceremony, he has already bagged the Best Original Song award at the 16th Critics' Choice Awards last month for his number 'If I Rise' from '127 Hours'.
Rahman was also nominated at this year's Golden Globe awards for his music in the same film, but lost out to 'The Social Network'.
