Which Oscar did “Remember Me” from Pixar’s Coco win?

“Remember Me” from Pixar’s Coco won the Oscar for Best Original Song. The Academy presented the award at the 90th Academy Awards, honoring the song written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.

The song appears in several forms during the film. Ernesto de la Cruz performs it as a grand concert number, while Héctor’s quieter version reveals its meaning as a personal message to his daughter, Coco. The changing arrangements help show how the same song can serve fame, family, and memory.

The Oscar recognized the song itself rather than Michael Giacchino’s instrumental score. Coco also won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, so the film received two Oscars at that ceremony.

Robert Lopez became the first person to win at least one Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony by the time of this victory. Anderson-Lopez and Lopez had previously won the song Oscar for “Let It Go” from Frozen.
