For some reason the 80's movie Working Girl came to mind today, particularly Sigourney Weaver's "...and after all, I am me..." line. With that I remembered this song from the movie. It won an Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe. According to the
Wikipedia article on the song, "It was the first of only two songs to have won all three awards (Oscar, Golden Globe, Grammy) while being composed and written, as well as performed, entirely by a single artist – the other being "Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen from Philadelphia (1993: Oscar, 1994: Golden Globe and two Grammys.) Barbra Streisand shared the Oscar (1976), Golden Globe (1977) and Grammy (1977) for "Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star is Born)" which she composed and wrote with lyricist Paul Williams (for which she also won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance). Annie Lennox won all three awards – 2003 Oscar and Golden Globe, 2004 Grammy – for "Into the West" from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, sharing all three with co-composer and lyricists Fran Walsh and Howard Shore."
