List of EGOT winners

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 24.104.127.1 (talk) at 13:42, 7 August 2012 (Marvin Hamlisch: updated with year of death and past tense). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Eleven 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] 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 and has since gained certain popularity because of its use as a plot device in several episodes of the TV series 30 Rock.[6][7]

Winners of all four awards

To date, eleven artists have won all four awards in competitive categories. They are: actors John Gielgud, Helen Hayes, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno, Whoopi Goldberg; composers Marvin Hamlisch, Richard Rodgers, and Jonathan Tunick; director/screenwriter Mel Brooks; director Mike Nichols; and producer Scott Rudin.[3]

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's Oscar).[3]
