The husband-and-wife songwriting team picked up their second Oscar March 4 for Coco's "Remember Me." The two won in 2014 for the Frozen anthem "Let It Go"; in their acceptance speech this year, Lopez gave a shout-out to the cast and creative team of the Frozen stage adaptation, now in previews at the St. James Theatre. On hand to present the trophy were Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and his Mary Poppins Returns co-star Emily Blunt.

With the "Remember Me" win, Robert Lopez becomes the first person to "EGOT" twice, earning multiple Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards.

After a string of wins earlier in the season, including a Golden Globe and SAG Award, Tony winner Frances McDormand picked up her second Oscar for her performance in the Martin McDonagh film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

Two Broadway alums picked up trophies in the Supporting categories: Tony nominee Allison Janney for I, Tonya and Sam Rockwell for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
