What he needs now is an Oscar to join the elite group of artistes who have achieved the status, including John Legend, Marvin Hamlisch and Robert Lopez.Composer Alan Menken was the most recent artiste to attain EGOT status in 2020, when he won an Emmy for outstanding original song in a children's, young adult or animated programme for 'Waiting in the Wings' from another Disney film 'Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure'.Miranda also has the rare distinction of winning a Pulitzer Prize for 'Hamilton'.
