His directorial debut, Tick, Tick … BOOM! is also in the race for two Oscars. His contributions to Encanto helped him get a nod for Best Animated Feature.

Lin-Manuel Miranda and Vanessa Nadal’s relationship timeline
Lin-Manuel Miranda and Vanessa Nadal attended Hunter College High School and never dated as teenagers. The New York Times reported during their wedding in 2010 that the former was never able to talk to Nadal throughout his senior year.
The actor came across Vanessa’s Facebook profile in 2005. He invited her to a Freestyle Love Supreme Show, and although she turned up, she didn’t think that Miranda was interested in her. She told The New York Times that it was a huge group, so he didn’t talk to her the whole night.
The rapper managed to ask for Vanessa’s phone number through one of his friends, and the latter eventually realized during a performance of Miranda on another show that she was falling for him.
The duo stood outside after the show and Nadal compared the traffic to her favorite video game, Grand Theft Auto. Lin-Manuel Miranda said in an interview with The New York Times:
“I very coolly said, ‘All right, you’re going to come over to my house tonight, and we’re going to play Grand Theft Auto and watch the Jay-Z movie and listen to Marc Anthony… After that, we very quickly gave each other keys to our apartments.”
The pair tied the knot in 2010. The actor also performed the song Fiddler on the Roof at their wedding reception. Their first son was born in November 2014, and their second son was born in February 2018.
