Benj Pasek and Justin Paul have become EGOT winners.

The duo won an Emmy on Sunday for “Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?” their original song co-written with Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman for “Only Murders in the Building” at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards.

Pasek and Paul are the 20th and 21st people to reach EGOT status. Both 39, they’re tied with fellow songwriter Robert Lopez as the youngest to win Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards. They’re also the first creative team to become EGOT recipients simultaneously, winning all four awards together.

Their EGOT journey began when they won an Oscar in 2017 for their original song “City of Stars,” featured in the film “La La Land.” Later that year, they won the Tony Award for the original score of “Dear Evan Hansen,” and they won the Grammy Award for best musical theater album for the stage musical’s cast recording in 2018.

The pair met as freshmen at the University of Michigan and also wrote the songs for “A Christmas Story, The Musical,” “The Greatest Showman” and “Spirited.” They are also contributing songs to Disney’s upcoming live-action “Snow White” movie and Pharrell Williams’ semi-autobiographical drama “Atlantis,” both scheduled for 2025 release.

Along with Lopez, Pasek and Paul are in good company with fellow EGOT composers, lyricists and songwriters: Richard Rodgers, Marvin Hamlisch, Jonathan Tunick, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, John Legend, Alan Menken and, most recently, Elton John.

“Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It?” was expertly performed by Steve Martin as part of a fictional Broadway musical in the Hulu series’ third season. The joke-packed patter song, about three infants who are all suspects in the murder of their mother, was a source of narrative tension, since Martin’s character was extremely nervous about performing it in full.

“The more alliterative or the more plosives that there were, the more twists and turns or the pace of the song, the more of a payoff for you as an audience,” Paul told The Times earlier this year. “You’re wondering: ‘Can he actually do it?’”

The composition won the Emmy for original music and lyrics over “Girls5eva” track “The Medium Time” by Sara Bareilles; the “True Detective: Night Country” number “No Use” by John Hawkes; “The Tattooist of Auschwitz” piece “Love Will Survive” by Kara Talve, Hans Zimmer, Walter Afanasieff and Charlie Midnight; and the “Saturday Night Live” song “Maya Rudolph Mother’s Day Monologue” by Eli Brueggemann, Maya Rudolph, Auguste White, Mike DiCenzo and Jake Nordwind.

“Only Murders in the Building” has 21 nominations, including best comedy series and the performances of Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez, Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd.

Chris Sanders may not be as famous as some of his Pixar counterparts, but he is surely one of the finest animation directors in Hollywood right now.

He created the now iconic blue alien character Stitch in Disney’s Lilo & Stitch for his 2002 directorial debut, later following it with the equally popular How to Train Your Dragon and The Croods.

The film follows a robot – ROZZUM 7134, or “Roz” for short – washed up in its box on an island. Voiced by Lupita Nyong’o, Roz is a highly capable artificially intelligent being that initially mimics the gait of a crab to help survive this inhospitable environment.

Programmed to always complete its missions, Roz gets a new one when it encounters an egg, out of which hatches a baby goose – a runt named Brightbill (Kit Connor). To help her new charge, Roz is told to help Brightbill “Eat. Swim. Fly by Fall.”

Football season may have just begun, but the next Super Bowl halftime act is already set: Kendrick Lamar will headline the 2025 show, according to the announcement Sunday morning from Roc Nation, Apple Music and the NFL.

Super Bowl LIX will take place Feb. 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans and will air on Fox.

This will be the Grammy-winning rapper’s second time performing at the Super Bowl. He last took the field in 2022 with Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak. That was the first halftime show consisting entirely of rap and hip-hop artists, and the performance won three Emmy Awards, including outstanding variety special (live) — a first in Super Bowl halftime history.

“Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date,” said Lamar in a statement. “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.”

Creative direction for Lamar’s 2025 performance will be provided by pgLang, the creative agency founded by Lamar and his longtime collaborator Dave Free, the filmmaker and producer who has helmed the majority of Lamar’s music videos. The halftime show telecast will be produced by DPS with Roc Nation and Jesse Collins serving as executive producers, and Hamish Hamilton serving as director. Roc Nation will also serve as the strategic entertainment advisor of the live performance.

“Kendrick Lamar is truly a once-in-a-generation artist and performer,” said Roc Nation founder Jay-Z in a statement. “His deep love for hip-hop and culture informs his artistic vision. He has an unparalleled ability to define and influence culture globally. Kendrick’s work transcends music, and his impact will be felt for years to come.”

Lamar’s Super Bowl headlining gig follows that of Usher, which became the most-watched halftime performance of all time and earned three Emmy nominations this year. Rihanna’s 2023 performance scored five Emmy nominations and won two, including directing for a variety special, a first for the show.

Since Lamar debuted with his 2012 album “good kid, m.A.A.d city,” the Los Angeles native has won 17 Grammy Awards and became the first non-classical, non-jazz musician to win a Pulitzer Prize for his 2017 album “DAMN.” His latest album, “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers,” was released in May 2022; earlier this year, he released “Like That” with Future and Metro Boomin, as well as “Euphoria,” “6:16 in LA,” “Meet the Grahams” and the record-breaking “Not Like Us.”
