Indeed, Warren is now the most-nominated person in history to have never won a competitive Oscar.
"I'm consistent as fuck," Warren told Variety 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."
Warren, who has also written pop hits with stars like Taylor Swift, 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.
All 17 of her nominated songs are listed below in chronological order.
