    When asked about Somehow You Do? she said, ‘I’m excited, it’s one of my favorite songs. It’s an important song right now, with so many people going through hard times, thinking that you won’t get through it but somehow you do.

    ‘I just loved working with Reba!’ 

    Diane was recently on the ABC special A Night in the Academy Museum TV special on ABC hosted by Tom Hanks and Laura Dern, where she cheekily made fun of her not winning the coveted gold statue after 12 nominations. 

    The Museum has The Oscar Experience as one of its attractions, where you can hold an Oscar and give an acceptance speech to a virtual audience. 

    Warren, known for her self-deprecating sense of humor, told us ‘the Museum is amazing and I was so proud that I got to be the one ironically showing what it’s like to give an acceptance speech having not gotten near that stage to give an acceptance speech after 12 nominations!

    ‘I joked at the end that I wasn’t going to give the Oscar back and there was a second there that I was going to walk out with that little gold man! They had to pry it out of my hands!’
