EGOT


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. Respectively, these awards honor outstanding achievements in television, audio recording/music, film, and theatre. Achieving the EGOT has been referred to as the "grand slam" of American show business. Including those with honorary or special awards, 27 people have achieved this status. Only one person, Robert Lopez, has won all four awards twice.

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. The acronym gained wider recognition following [Dealbreakers Talk Show No. 0001|a 2009 episode of 30 Rock] that introduced EGOT status as a recurring plotline. There is some debate over whether only the Emmy Awards|Primetime Emmy Award] should count towards an EGOT, as some distinguish the other types of Emmy competitions as subordinate to the Primetime honor.
Starting in 2016, the Daytime Emmy Awards had a category 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 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.
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.

Non-competitive EGOT awardees

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.

Barbra Streisand

American singer, actress, and director Barbra Streisand received her fourth distinct award in 1970. Between 1963 and 2001, Streisand received a total of 18 awards, three of which were non-competitive. 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.Academy Awards:

Variations

PEGOT

There are conflicting definitions for the PEGOT. Some say the "P" refers to the Peabody Award, others say it is the Pulitzer Prize., Mel Brooks, Rita Moreno, Mike Nichols, and Barbra Streisand have achieved this status by winning the Peabody while Marvin Hamlisch and Richard Rodgers have achieved it by winning the Pulitzer.
EGOT winners who also won at least one Peabody Award:
  1. Mel Brooks
  2. Rita Moreno
  3. Mike Nichols†
  4. Barbra Streisand
EGOT winners who also won at least one Pulitzer Prize:
  1. Marvin Hamlisch†
  2. Richard Rodgers†
People who won a Peabody, lacking only one EGOT award:
  1. Carol Burnett
  2. Martin Charnin†
  3. Rob Epstein
  4. Anne Garefino
  5. James Moll
  6. Trey Parker
  7. Matt Stone
  8. Charles Strouse
  9. Lily Tomlin
  10. Cicely Tyson†
  11. Oprah Winfrey
People who won a Pulitzer, lacking only one EGOT award:
  1. Jerry Bock†
  2. Oscar Hammerstein II†
  3. Tom Kitt
  4. Frank Loesser†
  5. Lin-Manuel Miranda
  6. Stephen Sondheim†
Notes
† – Person is deceased.

REGOT

Another variation is the REGOT, which includes being awarded a Razzie Award. Alan Menken has a REGOT due to his Razzie win for Worst Original Song for "High Times, Hard Times" from Newsies. With her Razzie win for Worst Actress for Rent-a-Cop and Arthur 2: On the Rocks, Liza Minnelli has a REGOT if her non-competitive Grammy Legend Award is considered.
Lady Gaga reordered the acronym as EGORT, when she hosted Saturday Night Live and poked fun at her win for Worst Screen Combo from Joker: Folie à Deux.
Alternatively, publications such as Vulture have listed the REGOT as including an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The only person to have such a REGOT is Elton John although Harry Belafonte and Quincy Jones would be included if counting non-competitive awards.

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, 16 out of the 21 EGOT winners were American nationals. The remaining five―John Gielgud, Audrey Hepburn, Elton John, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Tim Rice―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 for film and television, the Juno Awards for music, and the Dora Mavor Moore Awards for theatre. Toronto-based game show Trivia Club referred to this combination as the "Two-Can-Ju-Do". 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. She also could not identify any winners of all four awards, although Noni Hazlehurst has received nominations in all four.
