  • Diane Warren is tied for the longest losing streak in Academy Awards history.
  • At the 2025 Oscars, Warren lost her 16th bid for best original song.
  • Her nominations include songs performed by Celine Dion, Aerosmith, Lady Gaga, and Becky G.

Diane Warren went home empty-handed from the 2025 Oscars on Sunday, marking her 16th straight loss for best original song.

"I'm consistent as fuck," Warren told Variety 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 the most-nominated woman in the category's history. She is tied with Paul Francis Webster and trails just two others for the all-time record: Johnny Mercer (18) and Sammy Cahn (26). However, of those four legendary songwriters, only Warren has never won the award.

In fact, only one other person has been nominated for 16 Oscars without a single win: sound mixer Greg P. Russell, whose last nomination (and loss) was in 2013 for his work on the James Bond film "Skyfall." (Russell should have been up for his 17th sound mixing award in 2017, but his nomination was rescinded for "violation of Academy campaign regulations," Deadline reported.)

As of Sunday, Warren is tied with Russell for the longest losing streak in Oscar history. All 16 of her nominated songs are listed below in chronological order.
