Comedian turned writer-director Jordan Peele made history Sunday at the 90th annual Academy Awards for his work on Best Picture nominee Get Out_  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Mar 5, 2018 7:20 PM UTC Comedian turned writer-director Jordan Peele made history Sunday at the 90th annual Academy Awards for his work on Best Picture nominee Get Out  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Mar 5, 2018 7:20 PM UTC What have you accomplished in your life? For many, winning just one of the coveted Emmy, Grammy, [Oscar](http://time.com/5183839/oscars-2018-records-broken/) or Tony awards would be enough. For a rarefied few, collecting all four prizes — [called an “EGOT”](http://time.com/4815037/john-legend-tony-egot/) — is a lifelong dream and highly exclusive club that calls Rita Moreno, Whoopi Goldberg and Mel Brooks members. But for Robert Lopez, _Coco_ composer, just one set of accolades is not enough. The talented 43-year-old songwriter has now completed his second EGOT, making him the youngest (and, dare we say, one of the most impressive) creators working in the industry today. After winning an Oscar with his wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez [on Sunday night](http://time.com/5183817/oscars-2018-best-worst-moments/) for Best Original Song for [“Remember Me”](http://time.com/5185659/women-who-won-oscars-2018/) of the Pixar movie _Coco_, Lopez has cemented his status as one of showbiz’s titans. He was a co-creator of Broadway hits _Avenue Q_ and [_Book of Mormon_](http://time.com/61449/book-of-mormon-olivier-awards/), which gave him those Tonys. And then he helped write the smash song “Let It Go” from [Disney’s _Frozen_](http://time.com/4755592/frozen-2-disney-release-date/), for which he and Anderson-Lopez won Best Original Song back at the [2014 Oscars](http://time.com/11785/oscars-frozen-egot/). Meanwhile his [Emmys](http://ew.com/awards/2018/03/05/oscars-2018-robert-lopez-double-egot/), which are of the Daytime TV variety, come thanks to animated kids series _Wonder Pets._ And he’s actually picked up not one, not two, but [_three_ Grammys](https://www.grammy.com/grammys/artists/robert-lopez) so far, for his work on _Book of Mormon_ and _Frozen_. He’s done all of this in just ten years, which means he’s also the artist who has been fastest to catch ’em all. “I’m really honored to be part of it, but I know it’s just a statistical coincidence,” Lopez [told TIME back in 2014](http://time.com/11785/oscars-frozen-egot/) after hitting his first EGOT milestone. It’s looking less like a coincidence at this point, though. > [](https://twitter.com/jenny8lee/status/970706940614541314) > [](https://twitter.com/pasekandpaul/status/970524671274713088) > [](https://twitter.com/avenueqmusical/status/970713780706521088) > [](https://twitter.com/JelaniAlladin/status/970698687021187073) ## Transcript [00:00] This means so much to me. I stopped writing this [00:04] movie about 20 times because I thought it was [00:06] impossible. I thought it wasn't going to work. I thought [00:08] no one would ever make this movie. But I kept coming [00:11] back to it because I knew if someone let me make this [00:13] movie that people would hear it and people would see [00:16] it. My mother who taught me to love even in the face of [00:20] hate and to everybody who went and saw this movie, [00:24] everybody who bought a ticket who told somebody to [00:28] buy a ticket, thank you. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5186233/bobby-lopez-double-egot/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5186233/bobby-lopez-double-egot/"},"headline":"Everyone Is in Awe of Coco Composer Bobby Lopez and His Double EGOT","datePublished":"2018-03-05T19:20:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-12T09:01:33.424Z","description":"Two words.
