Diane Warren Sets Record for Most Oscar Nominations Without a Win

American songwriter Diane Warren has set a new record with 17 Oscar nominations without a competitive win, the highest in Academy Awards history. Her nominations span nearly four decades, primarily in the Best Original Song category, including a recent nod for "Dear Me" from the documentary Diane Warren: Relentless. Despite not winning competitively, Warren received an honorary Academy Award in 2022 recognizing her contributions to music and remains optimistic about future nominations.
