Oscar-winning songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez won their first primetime Emmy on Sunday night for their popular “Agatha All Along” song from Marvel Studios and Disney Plus’ limited series “WandaVision.”

The collaborators, whose Academy Award wins include Disney’s “Frozen” and “Coco” movies, won in Emmy’s music and lyrics category, beating out tunes from “The Queen’s Gambit,” “The Boys,” “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,” “Bo Burnham: Inside” and “Soundtrack of Our Lives.”

“Agatha All Along” shot to No. 1 on iTunes’ soundtrack chart after it appeared in the series’ penultimate episode, explaining the role that devious witch Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) had played throughout the unraveling mystery of the town of Westview.

Anderson-Lopez, in accepting the award, said she and her husband hadn’t been in Los Angeles in 21 months and “every return to normalcy should come with a big party and a shiny statue.” She called the “WandaVision” track “a dream come true for us to write.” Backstage afterwards, Lopez said that the song was written prior to shooting but that Hahn “brought it to the next level, and then another level, and another.”

The couple had been Emmy-nominated twice before, for “The Oscars” and “The Comedians” in 2015; Lopez had earlier been nominated, in 2007, for a song in “Scrubs.” Lopez’s two Daytime Emmys helped him gain EGOT status in 2014; Anderson-Lopez still needs a Tony to claim EGOT status.

Among the Television Academy’s other music honors: Ludwig Göransson won his second consecutive Emmy for scoring “The Mandalorian.” This year’s Emmy was for the second season finale, in which The Child (aka Grogu) is rescued and turned over to Luke Skywalker.

Göransson won a 2018 Oscar for his music for “Black Panther,” which coincidentally was about to be performed live-to-picture by the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl when the Emmy was announced.

Carlos Rafael Rivera also won his second Emmy. This time he took the trophy for composition for a limited series, movie or special, for Netflix’s “The Queen’s Gambit.” His theme for “Godless,” for the same filmmaker, Scott Frank, won an Emmy in 2018.

For the Miami-based composer, the Emmy win is just the latest in a series of awards for “The Queen’s Gambit” – he has already received awards from the Society of Composers & Lyricists, GoldSpirit, International Film Music Critics and Hollywood Music in Media, for his acclaimed, classically styled score.
