Diane Warren, 12-time Oscar nominee, hopes for ‘awesome’ win
Fox News
A trophy for the Italian-language, "The Life Ahead" film’s song, "Io Si (Seen)," would be Diane Warren’s first after 11 previous Academy Award nominations came up short.
"Yeah, it would be great to win. It would be (expletive) awesome," Warren said. "I feel like a team that’s gone to the World Series for decades and decades, and never wins." A triumph would be especially sweet for the veteran songwriter whose first Oscar bid was in 1988 (for the romcom "Mannequin"). The Academy Awards ceremony, originally set for February and delayed by the pandemic, airs April 25, the birthday of her late father, David Warren, and a coincidence that she calls "so cool." "He believed in me so much he would take me to music publishers when I was 14 or 15," Warren said. "My mom would be saying, ‘Why are you doing it? Why are you encouraging her? She can’t make a living off that.’"More Related News
