Oscar’s Longest Losing Streaks: 12 People With 10-Plus Nominations and No Wins (Photos)

With her 13th nomination this year, Diane Warren has a chance to snap her streak and finally win her first Oscar. She lost again in 2021, extending her record to 12 nominations and no wins. Here are some other unlucky Oscar nominees.

Greg P. Russell (16 nominations) 

Veteran sound mixer Greg P. Russell earned his first nomination for 1989’s “Black Rain.” He almost earned a 17th nomination, for 2016’s “13 Hours,” but his nomination was rescinded after he “violated Academy campaign regulations that prohibit telephone lobbying.”

Roland Anderson (15) 

The longtime art director picked up his first nomination for “A Farewell to Arms” in 1934 — and then lost for such classics as 1961’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and 1963’s “Come Blow Your Horn.”
