Diane Warren has extended her Oscars losing streak after failing to convert her 17th nomination in the Best Original Song category.
Warren was first in contention for a gong in 1987 for the song Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now from the film Mannequin.
Warren has now broken her tie with sound mixer Greg P Russell to become the person with the most nominations without a win - he has 16.
In 2022, Warren was presented with an honorary Oscar for her lifetime achievement in composing Oscar-nominated songs.
She later received eight consecutive nominations between 2018 and 2025.
Her other songs to make it to the finals include Aerosmith's I Don't Want to Miss a Thing from Armageddon; Lady Gaga's Til It Happens to You from The Hunting Ground; Trisha Yearwood's How Do I Live from Con Air; and Faith Hill's There You'll Be from Pearl Harbour.
Warren’s songs have been featured in more than 100 films and she has received Oscar nominations for Best Original Song since 1987 and every decade since then for Because You Loved Me” from Up Close & Personal, “How Do I Live” from Con Air, “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” from Armageddon, and “Somehow You Do,” performed by Reba McEntire in the 2020 movie Four Good Days.
