    How Many Oscars Has Diane Warren Been Nominated for? All Her Songs | Invesloan.com

    Updated

    • Diane Warren has set a record for the longest losing streak in Academy Awards history.
    • At the 2026 Oscars, Warren lost her 17th bid for best original song.
    • Her nominations include songs performed by Celine Dion, Aerosmith, Lady Gaga, Becky G, and Kesha.

    Diane Warren went home empty-handed from the 2026 Oscars on Sunday, marking her 17th straight loss for best original song.

    “Well at least I’m consistent! And I set a new record tonite!!” Warren wrote on social media after “Golden,” the hit song from Netflix’s “KPop Demon Hunters,” secured the award.

    Indeed, Warren is now the most-nominated person in history to have never won a competitive Oscar.

    “I’m consistent as fuck,” Warren told Variety in 2025 on the after-party red carpet. “I’m the Terminator of the Oscars — I’ll be back. That’s in my Arnold Schwarzenegger voice. I’m coming back. You can’t get rid of me.”

    Warren, who has also written pop hits with stars like Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey, and Cher, is also the most-nominated woman in the category’s history. She trails just two others for the all-time record: Johnny Mercer (18) and Sammy Cahn (26). However, of those three legendary songwriters, only Warren has never won the award.

    All 17 of her nominated songs are listed below in chronological order.
