Milestones

edit

Robert Lopez

edit
 
Filipino-American singer-songwriter Robert Lopez.

Robert Lopez is one of only nineteen people who have won across all four major ceremonies, and is the only person of Filipino descent to win. He additionally holds the distinctions of being the youngest person to win an EGOT, and winning the awards across the shortest period of time: he won all four in the span of ten years and completed the set at the age of 39. He is also the only person to have won all four awards more than once, having won two Oscars, three Tonys, three Grammys, and four Emmys.[14]

With a second set of competitive wins beginning with 37th Daytime Emmy Awards and concluding with 90th Academy Awards, he has broken his own 'fastest to complete' record, establishing a new fastest EGOT interval at 7 years and 8 months, making him the only double EGOT winner.[15]
