Miranda is up for an Oscar for best original song for ‘Dos Oruguitas’ from the animated film _Encanto_ . Should he win, he would attain rare EGOT status, meaning he would be an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony winner.
The _Hamilton_ creator also will be missing the first live performance of his hugely popular song ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno,’ also from Encanto, a film about a Colombian clan with magical powers. The addictive tune became the highest-charting song from a Disney animated film in more than 26 years.
The multi-talented Miranda also directed _Tick, Tick... Boom!_ , which is nominated for two Oscars, including star Andrew Garfield for best actor.
