Stars, theyre just like us: They also have embarrassing videos of themselves as teenagers, dramatically and enthusiastically lip-synching to Billy Joel songs.
Just a few days afterperforming live at the Academy AwardswithMoanastar Aulii Cravalho, Oscar nominee andHamiltoncreator Lin-Manuel Miranda shared some old videos from his 14th birthday party.
One is a spectacular example of Mirandas teenage speaking voice, and the other is a glorious scene of the future Tony winner emphatically mouthing along to The River of Dreams.

No YOU guys party, 14 year old me is busy lip-syncing Billy Joel into a camera, Miranda wrote on Twitter.
Although he was nominated forBest Original Song at this years Oscars,Miranda lost toLa La Landsongwriters Justin Hurwitz, Benj Pasek, and Justin Paul for City of Stars.
But hey, if these videos are eligible for next years Oscars, maybe hell complete that EGOT after all.
Theyre definitely award-worthy.
