It's March 16th. Here's what's happening in entertainment. Diane Warren made headlines at the Oscars on March 15th, for all the wrong reasons. The famed songwriter earned her 17th nomination in Best Original Song, but lost again. Her ballad Dear Me from the documentary Relentless did not take the prize. Instead, Golden from the animated hit K-pop Demon Hunters claimed the win. That track beat out entries like, I lied to you from sinners and others in a stacked category. Diane has now gone zero for 17 in the category since her first nod back in 1987. She is handling the streak with plenty of humor, though.

The 69-year-old shared a headline calling her the record holder for most losses and joked online that at least she is number one at something. Later that night, she added she is consistent and ready to return. Diane has penned iconic tunes for films like Conair and Armageddon that got nods but no victories. Still, the Academy gave her an option. Honorary Oscar in 2022 for her songwriting impact. She called each nomination a big win amid hundreds of other songs.

Other big winners included one battle after another, which swept Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay, and more. Sinners grabbed several technical awards while Frankenstein shone in production design and costumes. This episode is brought to you in partnership with our sponsor. It looks like a pillow.
