'The Susan Lucci Of The Academy Awards' Loses For 16th Straight Time

"I would like to break my decades-long tradition," she said of her Oscar losing streak.
Oscar nominee Diane Warren lost for the 16th time on Sunday, drawing sympathy from fans on social media.
Warren, a songwriter, pinned her hopes on “The Journey,” her 16th Best Original Song nomination, to perhaps break one of the longest hard-luck streaks in show business.
One fan on Bluesky called her “the Susan Lucci of the Academy Awards,” referring to the “All My Children” star who lost 18 times as a Daytime Emmy lead actress nominee before finally winning in 1999.
Warren’s latest entry was performed by H.E.R. for Tyler Perry’s World War II Netflix movie “The Six Triple Eight.” The category was won by “El Mal” from “Emilia Pérez.”
Warren famously penned the hit “Armageddon” song “I Don’t Want To Miss a Thing” sung by Aerosmith ― and even lost that Oscar race in 1999.
