<p>Diane Warren went home empty-handed from the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oscar-nominations-academy-award-nominees-winners-list-2026">2026 Oscars</a> on Sunday, marking her 17th straight loss for best original song.</p>
<p>"Well at least I'm consistent! And I set a new record tonite!!" Warren <a href="https://www.facebook.com/diane.warren.71/posts/pfbid02kuRNDMinJFTA4DRuqT27HQZeJi6Mundr1CszoypqMJGELQaN22QYzVYcrVhTmQLzl">wrote on social media</a> after "Golden," the hit song from <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kpop-demon-hunters-netflix-disney-franchise-frozen-star-wars-animation-2025-8">Netflix's "KPop Demon Hunters,"</a> secured the award.</p>
<p>Indeed, Warren is now the most-nominated person in history to have never won a competitive Oscar.</p>
<p>"I'm consistent as fuck," Warren <a href="https://variety.com/2025/music/columns/diane-warren-losing-best-original-song-oscar-16th-time-1236326044/">told Variety</a> 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."</p>
<p>Warren, who has also written pop hits with stars like <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swift-1989-album-fun-facts-details-you-missed-2023-11">Taylor Swift</a>, 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.</p>
