| Benj Pasek and Justin Paul: “Thank you so much to The Academy for recognizing 'This is Me' with a nomination! We are honored to be included in such great company with our fellow nominees. We share this nomination with the amazingly talented creative team behind this movie. A special thanks goes to the singularly talented Keala Settle whose performance of this song elevates it in a way that we could only dream of. And to Hugh Jackman [who played P.T. Barnum] and Michael Gracey [who directed 'The Greatest Showman'], thank you for taking a chance on us four years ago, before we had a film credit to our name, to help you bring your vision to life.” Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez: “Our kids are so invested in us going to the Oscars because they weren’t old enough when we won for 'Frozen,' but they’re old enough now that we told them if we were fortunate enough to get nominated [for 'Remember Me'], they’d be our dates,” said Anderson-Lopez. “Our seventh-grader had to go to school, but our second-grader was snuggled between us on the couch as we were watching [the nominations] on this raining morning in New York. It was very cozy.” Lopez broke in to remind his wife that their 8-year old is actually in third grade, before adding with a laugh, “How are we supposed to remember that? We just got nominated for an Oscar!” The song’s message of enduring love between a father and the daughter he has to leave resonated strongly with the pair, “because we, as artists who have to travel some times, know that feeling so well and that’s what we poured into the song,” Lopez said. I have add that their ''Remember Me'' sounds even cooler in Spanish, sung by Carlos Rivera. (I'll assume both ''Coco'' and ''The Greatest Showman'' will be adapted for Broadway someday. Which one gets there first?) |

| It's like the old days when the best Broadway songwriters went to Hollywood. Last year we had Linn-Manuel as a nominee. | |
