Given that the 2017 Oscars are almost here, many are reflecting on the annual event. On the heels of a possible EGOT, Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote all about his favorite Oscars moments. It's a delightful trip down memory lane, sure to make you feel the familiar lump in your throat.
This Sunday, Lin-Manuel Miranda will be waiting to find out if his song “How Far I'll Go” from the Disney film Moana will earn him an Oscar. If it does, he will become the 13th - and the youngest - person in history to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, AND a Tony.
