Music News: Diane Warren Loses 14th Oscar Nomination

Diane Warren has responded to her latest Oscars loss.

At this year’s Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday, the Can’t Fight the Moonlight songwriter lost her 17th nomination for Best Original Song, meaning she now holds the record for the most nominations without a win. 

According to Variety, Warren made light of her latest loss on social media after the ceremony, writing, “Well at least I’m consistent! And I set a new record tonite!! But U know me, I will be back if you’ll have me (sic)!!!”

Warren may well keep her promise as she has been nominated for Best Original Song every year since 2016 and is likely to return again in 2027. 

The 69-year-old was previously tied with sound mixer Greg P. Russell with 16 nominations and no wins. Sunday’s ceremony gave her the all-time record for the most nominated person to not yet have a competitive Oscar.

This year, she was nominated for Dear Me, performed by Kesha, from her documentary Diane Warren: Relentless. However, she lost out to Golden from KPop Demon Hunters. 

While she has yet to win a competitive Oscar, Warren was bestowed an honorary Academy Award in 2022. 

She recently told The New York Times that she still wants to achieve glory in the Best Original Song category. 

“You know, I still haven’t won the competitive one. And I’m a competitive person. It’s amazing to have the honorary Oscar â€" that’s harder to get than the competitive. I don’t take that for granted,” she said. “But, yeah, I still want to win. My honorary Oscar gets really lonely. He wants a friend. He hangs out with Rabbit, my cat, but he prefers to have an Oscar buddy.”

She added, “But I’ve never taken awards as validation. The work is validation. When people love the songs, that’s validation. Who doesn’t want to win, right? But you can’t live and die by that because it’s out of your control. What’s in my control is to do the best work I can.”
