Diane Warren remains humble about Oscar chances and her partners criticize ‘Barbie’ song

We had the legendary songwriter on Thursday at Pink’s Hot Dogs in La Brea, where Diane was being honored with her own vegetarian hot dog, and our photographer asked her about that elusive Oscar win.

Diane is nominated for an Academy Award for the 15th time in her career (this time she’s nominated for Best Original Song for “The Fire Inside” from the movie “Flamin’ Hot”) and told us she’s happy to be nominated and Ya he feels like a winner.

While Diane was acting calm, her co-stars in the film fight for her… telling us that she deserves to finally win an Oscar.

Becky G sings Diane’s song from the movie Hot Cheetos… and will perform it at the Oscars, along with the other nominees.

The contest includes a couple of “Barbie” songs… the ryan gosling-performed the song “I’m Just Ken” and Billie Eilish and Finneas‘ “What was I made for?”

Diane’s movie companions, Richard and Judy Montaneztake a couple of fun pics of the “Barbie” duo here… telling us that Diane’s tune is way better than Ken’s song.

Don’t even get them on the subject of Billie, which they quietly say is “depressing.” No hate here, just good fun… Billie says she was depressed anyway when she wrote the song.

Win or lose next weekend at the Oscars, Diane already has another notch on her belt… in the form of her very own Pink hot dog.

Diane’s Special Dog is a vegetarian dog topped with jalapeño pepper jack cheese, guacamole and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.
