Diane Warren Extends Record with 16th Oscar Loss for Best Original Song

The acclaimed songwriter, nominated for 'The Journey' from 'The Six Triple Eight,' ties the record for most Oscar losses without a win.

Diane Warren lost her 16th Oscar nomination for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards, continuing her decades-long streak without a competitive win.
Her nominated song, 'The Journey,' performed by H.E.R. for Tyler Perry’s Netflix film 'The Six Triple Eight,' lost to 'El Mal' from 'Emilia Pérez.'
The loss ties Warren with sound mixer Greg P. Russell for the most Oscar nominations without a win, though Russell's 17th nomination was rescinded.
Warren, who has been nominated eight consecutive times since 2017, received an Honorary Oscar in 2022 but has yet to win a competitive category.
The prolific songwriter, known for hits like 'I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing' and 'Because You Loved Me,' has written nine Billboard No. 1 songs across her career.
