Twelve people have won all four major annual American entertainment awards: the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. Doing so may be abbreviated EGOT, or sometimes GATE ("A" for "Academy").[1][2][dead link ] These awards honor outstanding achievements in, respectively, television, music (or other audio recording), film, and theater.[3] Winning all four awards has been referred to as winning the Grand Slam of Show Business.[4][5] The acronym EGOT was invented by actor Philip Michael Thomas.[6]
Winners of all four awards
To date, twelve individuals have won all four awards in competitive categories. They are actors John Gielgud, Helen Hayes, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno and Whoopi Goldberg; composers Marvin Hamlisch, Richard Rodgers, Jonathan Tunick and Robert Lopez; director/screenwriter Mel Brooks; director Mike Nichols; and producer Scott Rudin.[3] Of the 12, two — Marvin Hamlisch and Richard Rodgers — have also won the Pulitzer Prize.
Three other performers, Liza Minnelli, James Earl Jones and Barbra Streisand, have also won all four awards, although one of the awards was non-competitive, i.e. special or honorary in nature (Streisand's Tony, Minnelli's Grammy, and Jones' Oscar).[3]

To me, it's no contest: once again, the Academy failed to honor Philip Michael Thomas, the actor who played Detective Rico Tubbs on the 80s TV show Miami Vice. At the height of that show's success, Thomas took to wearing a gold medallion emblazoned with the letters "EGOT", which stood for "Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony." As Thomas told an interviewer in 1984, "Hopefully in the next five years I will win all of those awards." As of February 2008, Thomas has won none of those awards. He's never even been nominated for any of them. (To be fair, he did win a People's Choice Award, and was also nominated for two Golden Globes.) In fact, only nine people in history have ever won all four — among them, Mike Nichols, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno, and Marvin Hamlisch — and to my knowledge, none of them has ever trumpeted the achievement through gold jewelry.
