Two of the top 13 hits in the Hot 100's 57-year history were composed by Warren. She has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She has been rated the third most successful female artist in the UK, leading her to win the Ivor Novello Award and Special International Award in 2008. Warren has received 16 competitive Academy Award nominations without a win, tying with sound mixer Greg P. Russell for the most Oscar nominations without a single win. She received an honorary Oscar at the Governors Awards in November 2022. Description above from the Wikipedia article Diane Warren, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.
