Diane Warren has the record of Oscar nominations without winning

“Golden” won the award for Best Original Song at the 98th Academy Awards whose ceremony took place last night in Italy at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. The hit performed by the fictional group of Huntr/x in the movie ‘KPop Demon Hunters’, had already triumphed in the category at the Grammys, Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards this year, and the film also won the award for Best Animated Film. Diane Warren she was defeated for the 17th time, becoming the person with the most nominations to have never won an Oscar.

Warren was in the running to win the statuette with the song
“Dear Me”
ballad sung by
Kesha
taken from the documentary by
Bess Kargman “Diane Warren: Relentless”
. In reality Diane would be tied with the sound engineer
Greg P. Russell
. The latter also received 17 nominations, but his candidacy for
“13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of
Benghazi”
was revoked in 2017 for violating campaign rules: as it was discovered that she had called some members of the Sound Branch during the nomination period. So, technically, he has 16 nominations and no wins.

Putting the Oscar aside,
Diane Warren
she is the author of nine hits that reached number one on the sales charts in the United States between the end of the ’80s and the ’90s. The first of these songs was
“Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now”
of the
Starship
written with

Albert Hammond
for the 1987 comedy
“Mannequin”,
which earned her her first Oscar nomination for Best Original Song, an award later won by
“(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life”
included in the film
“Dirty Dancing”
.

Despite being awarded an honorary Oscar in 2022, Warren has never hidden her desire to win an Oscar. “I’m a competitive person,” he told the New York Times. “It’s great to have the honorary Oscar – it’s harder to get than the official one. I don’t take it for granted. But yes, I still want to win. My honorary Oscar feels really lonely.”

Diane Warren
he also received 16 Grammy Award nominations, winning one for
“Because You Loved Me”
sung by
Celine Dion
in 1997.
