Though it seems like only yesterday that songwriter Robert Lopez joined the EGOT club — because it was, in 2014, when he won the Oscar for Frozen’s “Let It Go†— he’s now in a league of his own. On Sunday night, he and his wife, Kristen Anderson-Lopez, won Best Original Song for Coco’s “Remember Me,†making him the first person in history to complete the EGOT for a second time. He now has two Oscars, two daytime Emmys (for Wonder Pets), three Grammys (for Book of Mormon, the Frozen soundtrack, and “Let It Goâ€), and three Tonys (two for Book of Mormon and one for Avenue Q). Lopez was already the youngest, at 39, to ever complete the EGOT the first time around; he’s now 43, meaning it only took him another four years to do it all over again. What have you done with your life?
