Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez attend the 90th Annual Academy Awards on March 4, 2018 in Hollywood, California
“Remember Me” beat four other nominees, including “This is Me” which was written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul for “The Greatest Showman”, and Sufjan Stevens’ “Mystery of Love,” which featured in “Call Me By Your Name.”
On accepting the award with Kristen Anderson-Lopez Sunday, the pair thanked the team at Pixar for letting them “be a part of this important celebration of Mexico, music and family”, in addition to those who helped contribute to the song.
In 2014, Lopez was named the youngest EGOT winner after receiving an Academy Award for co-writing “Let it Go” from “Frozen”, again with his wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez. The Disney film also won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature in 2014 — a pattern that repeated itself in 2018, when “Coco” also won the Best Animated Feature award.
Aside from Lopez’s two Oscar wins received in 2014 and 2018, he won two Daytime Emmy Awards for animated series “The Wonder Pets” in 2008 and 2010; in addition to three Tony Awards — two of which were won for “The Book of Mormon” in 2011, while he received an award in 2004 for “Avenue Q”.
When it comes to the Grammys, Lopez has won three out of the four nominations he’s received, two of which were for his work on “Frozen”, received in 2015, and another win in 2012, for “The Book of Mormon.”
