Prolific composer Diane Warren has written nine number one songs and had 32 tunes hit the Top Ten on the Billboard Charts. She has won a Grammy, an Emmy, a Golden Globe and three consecutive Billboard Music Awards for Songwriter of the Year. She’s also be named ASCAP’s Writer of the Year three times and was inducted into the Songwriter Hall of Fame in 2001. But one honor that has eluded her is the Academy Award. Though she hasn’t reach Susan Lucci territory (she finally won an Emmy for “All My Children” on her 19th nomination) Warren has been a bridesmaid at the Oscars 11 times.
But she may well win this year for her wistful ballad “Io Si (Seen)” from the Italian-language Netflix drama “The Life Ahead,” which begins streaming Nov. 13. Laura Pausini, who recorded the song, co-wrote the Italian lyrics with Niccolo Agliardi.

While the Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes duet "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" will forever be associated with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey's hip-shaking finale in the hit 1987 film "Dirty Dancing," the timeless song has had something of a revival as of late. Not only is it sampled in the latest Black Eyed Peas track, "The Time (The Dirty Bit)," but it also has done a running sprint and lift into a new generation's hearts thanks to the cast of "Glee" covering it in that show's latest episode, "Special Education."
Chord Overstreet and Dianna Agron took over Medley and Warnes' duties, while the rest of the cast provided backup, for an appropriate (not to mention winning) choice for the sectionals competition.
