Diane Warren talks about the Oscar's loss, Kesha and TIHTY

[monketsharona 81,291]

First of all, you should have won the Oscar.

You know what, I think so too. I've never [won]. This is my eighth time [being nominated]. I mean, especially after you saw that performance and you look at the audience, everybody's sobbing. The standing ovation, they wouldn't sit down. I've never witnessed a performance like that. So I think it won a bigger prize. When's the last time a song changed something? It happened in the '60s, happened in the '70s. It doesn't happen in the 2010s, or whatever they call this era. When's the last time a pop song is starting a conversation and actually having an impact on the culture? This song is. So when you think about that, it's like, it would have been great to get an Oscar, but this is way more powerful. I know the song's becoming a hit. The fact that it didn't win, it galvanized everybody to go, "Wait..." The next day, people were clambering for it, because of the controversy. Would it have been nice to win? Yeah. Gaga was sitting next to me and she goes, "Now practice your loser face in case we…" I go, "No, we're going to win. And I know my loser face. I've done it seven times." I think everybody was shocked. Not just people that knew me.

I was there and it was shocking. 

I heard in the pressroom there was like a gasp. When ["Writing's on the Wall"] won, there was hardly any applause. I think people were just like, What? I kept saying, "What just happened? What just happened?" I was like, "What?" I've never been so sure. Especially after what we just heard and what we just saw. The most powerful performance almost ever.

Gaga "Practice your loser face" 

this oscar loss still hurts at night...they still deserve that oscar and the Academy was SO wrong on SO MANY DAMN LEVELS to pick the clearly wrong winner

[ARTPOPNick 3,486]

Poor Diane and Gaga  

[BLACKOUTbritney 22,356]

It 100% won the bigger prize! The performance was amazing and so heart warming. And most of all, the performance helped push such a powerful message to the front line. I honestly believe the academy can see now they made a wrong choice but Gaga + Diane did this song for the message, not the awards.

I'm glad she's not trying to be fake and say that its ok 

[PunkTheFunk 124,441]

She's still hurt. Move on, Diane. Make another song as soon as possible if you want that Oscar.

[Fiona Apple 13,006]

She is not lying.It was very awkward when Sam won

[ViviLittleM 3]

I will always remember this night.

It was like 4am for me.

I wake up every morning at 6 am for school.

I couldn't sleep. Because I was too excited, then I saw the performance I was like 'wow slay queen, spread that message'

then some minutes after I saw on Twitter that Sam won and I was like

and then I couldn't sleep because I was too angry lmao.

Warren will be honoured at some stage of her career - the Academy cannot nominate someone 8 times and never reward them. 

TIHTY should have won that Oscar. The message was so powerful.
