Will Lin-Manuel Miranda Join the Group of Artists Who Have Accomplished the EGOT?

Actor-composer-rapper-writer Lin-Manuel Miranda is nominated for the Academy Award (also commonly known as the Oscar) for Best Original Song for his composition "How Far I'll Go" from the film Moana. Should he win, he would be the 13th person and second Puerto Rican/Latino (after Rita Moreno) to achieve the competitive EGOT (winning the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards, all in a non-honorary capacity). Also should he win, he would be the youngest person (at age 37) to achieve it and the person who has accomplished it in the least amount of time between first and fourth awards (nine years) Also, because he has also won the Pulitzer Prize, he would be the third person (after composers Marvin Hamlisch and Richard Rodgers) and first Latino to achieve the PEGOT.
