A Frozen win in the upcoming Academy Awards does not only mean more glory for the latest Disney film but an EGOT spot for Filipino-American songwriter Robert Lopez.


Robert, along with his wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez, behind the film's hit song "Let it Go," are nominated for Best Original Song in this year's Oscars. If they do win, Robert will be joining the EGOT circle as its 12th member.


But what is EGOT, really? It's actually considered as one of the coveted milestones in someone's showbiz career – a Grand Slam, some might even say. The elite circle is composed of a handful of people who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony (EGOT). It is also sometimes called GATE (Grammy, Academy, Tony, Emmy).
