At the age of 39, Lopez, who co-wrote the Oscar-winning original song from “Frozen” with his wife, Kristen Anderson, joins a very small group of only 12 people to have one the major awards superfecta, known as the “EGOT,” a term coined by first winner Richard Rodgers.
The latest winner started on the EGOT journey in 2004 Tony for Best Original Score for raunchy puppet comedy “Avenue Q.” Lopez next won the Daytime Emmy for Best Music Direction and Composition for “The Wonder Pets” in 2008
