35 years ago, Diane Warren earned her first Oscar nom for a song ‘about a guy f***ing a mannequin’
Regardless of whether or not Warren wins or is even nominated at the Oscars this time around, her illustrious film-composing career can be traced back to Mannequin. “Any success opens a door, or opens more doors,” she says. “I found out that I’m really good at it, you know? My dad, when I was younger, said if I went to college he’d pay my rent. … So, I just took up space, basically. I took a bunch of film classes at Cal State Northridge — the ones where you just watch movies, so I could sit in the back of class and work on my songs and I wouldn’t have to really do anything. But I think that by watching all those movies, I might have learned subliminally. And so, I know what a movie needs. I know how to tie it up emotionally.” -- News Brig
