I’m the Terminator of the Oscars I’ll be back.
That’s in my Arnold Schwarzenegger voice.
I’m coming back.
you’re able to’t get rid of me.”
Her work will continue as usual.
“This isn’t going to slow me down,” Warren added.
“I thought I had a chance this time.
It didn’t go that way, but I’m still here.”
She has soundtracked such films asBurlesque,Pearl Harbor, andThe Hunting Ground, among others.
Warren toldEntertainment Weeklylast month that shebelieved the song was her most award-worthy yet.
“This would be definitely the most deserving to me,” Warren said.
“There’s been a couple, back in the day.
You just hope that people listen to the song.
If they listen to this one, it’s a pretty good song.
I’m really proud of it.”
Warren also said she didn’t “even know how I’d react” should she win.
“I’d have to be conscious,” she added.
“I’d probably faint.
I’m not going to lie, it would be amazing.
Especially for this song.
It’s the journey there’s a lot of levels to the song that are really special.
And that would make it more special if that happened.”
