Lin-Manuel Miranda might earn the ultimate Hollywood award this Sunday: the EGOT. For those that don't know what an EGOT is, it's the honor of having won an award in all the grand slams- television (Emmy), music (Grammy), film (Oscar), and theater (Tony).
Only twelve people in history have been able to claim the title: Richard Rodgers, Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, John Gielgud, Audrey Hepburn, Marvin Hamlisch, Jonathan Tunick, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols, Whoopi Goldberg, Scott Rudin, and Robert Lopez.
Miranda won three Tony awards and two Grammy awards for both In the Heights and Hamilton and an Emmy for the opening act music at the Tony Awards in 2013. Now, with an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song with his track “How Far I ' ll Go”from his Disney film Moana, the Puerto Rican actor and composer is set to join the exclusive list.
And it doesn't end there… not only would Miranda earn an EGOT if he won the oscar but also at 37, he would be the youngest person to have done so beating out 42-year-old Frozen composer Robert Lopez.
No matter what happens, we wish the best of luck to Lin-Manuel at the Academy Awards!
