List of EGOT winners explained

EGOT, an acronym for the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards, is the designation given to people who have won all four of the major performing art awards in the United States of America.[1] [2] Respectively, these awards honor outstanding achievements in television, audio recording, film, and Broadway theatre.[3] Achieving the EGOT has been referred to as the "grand slam" of American show business.[1] [4] Including those with honorary or special awards, 27 people have achieved this status.[5] In 2018, Robert Lopez became the first and currently only double EGOT winner.[6] Six EGOT holders have been dubbed PEGOTs, for additionally having received either a Peabody Award (4) or Pulitzer Prize (2).

Background

The EGOT acronym was coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas in late 1984. While starring in Miami Vice, he stated a desire to achieve the EGOT within five years.[7] [8] The acronym gained wider recognition following a 2009 episode of 30 Rock that introduced EGOT status as a recurring plotline.[9]

Starting in 2016, the Daytime Emmys had an award for Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program, which was removed after the 2019 ceremony because three of the four winners were Broadway ensembles, which between them included five people (Cynthia Erivo, Ben Platt, Rachel Bay Jones, Katrina Lenk and Ari'el Stachel) who had already won Tony and Grammy awards for the shows they were in, and with their Daytime Emmy wins only needed Oscars to complete their EGOT status.[10]

In 2023, TheaterMania writer Zachary Stewart criticized the practice of "selling" producer credits for shows favored to win a Tony as a "shortcut" to EGOT status. He drew a distinction between the producers who actually do the work of organizing the production of a show and investing producers who merely help finance it, often late in the award season.[11]

American songwriter Robert Lopez (born 1975) received his fourth distinct award in 2014. Between 2004 and 2022, he received a total of 12 awards. He is the first Filipino and Asian to achieve this feat. He is the youngest winner (39 years, 8 days) to receive all four awards in competitive categories, as well as, at the time, the fastest to complete his qualifying run of EGOT wins (9 years, 8 months). His second series of wins set a new shortest interval of 7 years, 8 months (June 27th, 2010 Emmy through March 4th, 2018 Academy Award) until 2024 when both Benj Pasek and Justin Paul topped this record with a qualifying run of 7 years and 7 months.

Lopez is the first person to win each EGOT award twice.[21] [22] He is currently the only winner to have two of each EGOT award in competitive categories, as Mel Brooks' second Oscar in 2023 was a special award. His first two Emmys were Daytime Emmys, followed by a Primetime Emmy in 2021 for WandaVision. He is the only EGOT recipient to follow a Daytime Emmy win with a subsequent Primetime Emmy win.

Lopez received his Grammy Award for The Book of Mormon in collaboration with fellow EGOT winner Scott Rudin (among others), making them the first pair of EGOT winners to co-win the same award. Lopez is also the first person to have won the Oscar last, a prize he shared then, and again in 2018, with his wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez.[23] As of 2024, Kristen Anderson-Lopez lacks only a Tony to achieve EGOT status in her own right.

If Menken's special (non-competitive) Emmy Award is counted, he becomes the fully competing EGOT with the most overall awards.

Non-competitive EGOT synopses

Six additional artists have received all four awards, though one was bestowed for an honorary or similar non-competitive distinction: Barbra Streisand does not have a competitive Tony; Liza Minnelli does not have a competitive Grammy; and Harry Belafonte, James Earl Jones, Quincy Jones, and Frank Marshall are all without a competitive Oscar.

American singer, actress, and director Barbra Streisand (born 1942) received her fourth distinct award in 1970.

Having obtained her fourth award with a special Tony at age 28, she is the youngest special EGOT winner. With just six years elapsing between her first award, a 1964 Grammy, and her 1970 Tony, Streisand held the record for completing the fastest special EGOT until 2023 when Frank Marshall did so within four years. Streisand is the only EGOT to win an Oscar in both a music and an acting category. She is the only winner to have three competitive awards for debut performances: first studio album, first feature film, and first television special. Additional distinctions include the Peabody Award, the AFI Life Achievement Award, the Kennedy Center Honor, the Cecil B. DeMille Award, the National Medal of Arts, the American Society of Cinematographers Board of Governors Award, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Variations

PEGOT

There are conflicting definitions for the PEGOT. Some say the "P" refers to the Peabody Award,[45] others say it is the Pulitzer Prize.[46] [47] [48], Mike Nichols, Rita Moreno, Barbra Streisand, and Mel Brooks have achieved this status by winning the Peabody;[49] while Richard Rodgers and Marvin Hamlisch have achieved it by winning the Pulitzer.[50]

EGOT winners who also won at least one Peabody Award:

EGOT winners who also won at least one Pulitzer Prize:

People who won a Peabody, lacking only one EGOT award:

People who won a Pulitzer, lacking only one EGOT award:

Notes

† – Person is deceased.

REGOT

Another variation is the REGOT, which includes being awarded a Razzie.[56] [57] Alan Menken has a REGOT due to his Razzie win with Jack Feldman for Worst Original Song for "High Times, Hard Times" from Newsies.[58] With her Razzie win for Worst Actress for Rent-a-Cop and , Liza Minnelli has a REGOT if her non-competitive Grammy Legend Award is considered.[59]

Equivalent honors outside the United States

The Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards are presided over by industry bodies based in the United States, and as of 2024, 14 out of the 19 EGOT winners were American nationals. The remaining five ― John Gielgud, Audrey Hepburn, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, and Elton John ― were British. Many countries hold their own equivalent awards ceremonies honouring their own television, music, film, and theatre industries. In some cases, commentators in other countries have derived their own acronyms for individuals who have won at all four ceremonies.

Canada

In 2018, Leah Collins of CBC Arts proposed a Canadian equivalent of the EGOT: the Canadian Screen Awards (and their predecessors, the Gemini and Genie Awards) for film and television, the Juno Awards for music, and the Dora Mavor Moore Awards for theatre.[60] Toronto-based game show Trivia Club referred to this combination as the "Two-Can-Ju-Do".[61] No individual has won in all four categories.

Australia

In 2019, Caitlin Welsh of Nova Entertainment proposed the "LAHA" as an Australian equivalent: the Logie Awards for television, the ARIA Music Awards for music, the Helpmann Awards for theatre, and the AACTA Awards for film.[62] She also could not identify any winners of all four awards, although Noni Hazlehurst has received nominations in all four.
