Diane Warren Acknowledges 16th Oscar Loss for Best Original Song

Diane Warren faced her 16th loss at the Academy Awards for Best Original Song, as her nominated piece 'The Journey' lost to 'El Mal' from Emilia Pérez. Despite the disappointment, Warren maintained a positive attitude, humorously referring to herself as the 'Terminator of the Oscars' and affirming her intent to continue working on music. This latest nomination ties her with Paul Francis Webster for the most nominations in the category, and she now holds the record for the most nominations by a woman, surpassing the late Marilyn Bergman. Warren has received significant accolades in her career, including an honorary Oscar in 2022, but her streak of losses has garnered mixed reactions online. She expressed that this setback wouldn't deter her, stating, 'This isn't going to slow me down.' Warren's resilience continues to inspire, as she vows to return to the Oscars in the future.
