As if being the youngest EGOT winner and getting all four prestigious accolades in record time wasn’t enough, Robert Lopez’s winning streak kept going. In 2010, Lopez earned a second outstanding music direction and composition Daytime Emmy for “Wonder Pets,” while he and Kristen Anderson-Lopez later nabbed an outstanding original music and lyrics Primetime Emmy for “Agatha All Along” from “WandaVision.” He was also among the winners of the outstanding short form program Children’s and Family Emmy for the Netflix animated miniseries “We The People.”
Two additional Tonys came for “The Book of Mormon” in 2012, with Lopez, Matt Stone, and Trey Parker earning statuettes for best book of a musical and best original score. He and his wife earned two Grammys for “Frozen” in 2015, for best compilation soundtrack for visual media and best song written for visual media for “Let It Go.” Three years later, the duo took home another original song Oscar for “Remember Me” from Pixar’s “Coco,” which also confirmed Lopez as the only EGOT winner to have won a competitive award in each category at least twice.
Since then, the Lopezes have worked on efforts such as “Frozen II” and their own original musical, “Up Here,” which was turned into a Hulu series in 2023. With more films, stage musicals, and TV projects no doubt ahead, it’s perhaps only a matter of time before Robert Lopez goes for the triple EGOT crown — and Kristen Anderson-Lopez nabs her first.
