20 Stars Who Almost Have an EGOT
The post 20 Stars Who Almost Have an EGOT appeared first on Consequence.
Awards and the entertainment industry go hand in hand, as celebrating the accomplishments of people within the industry and recognizing entertainment legends is now an ingrained part of the culture. While winning multiple awards for one’s achievements is seen as evidence of exemplary talent, winning awards at the four most prominent ceremonies — to EGOT — is an entirely different story.
EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) winners are seen as the best of the best within their respective crowds. First coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas in 1984, its an accomplishment that many within the entertainment industry strive for. However, as of 2022 only 17 people have ever achieved the status, including John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Robert Lopez, Mel Brooks, Alan Menken, Whoopi Goldberg, and Audrey Hepburn.
The reason it’s so hard to achieve an EGOT is that it requires a person to achieve greatness across the worlds of film, television, music, and theater. Regardless, there have been many actors/actresses, directors, and musicians who have reached the cusp of EGOT status. And as the 2023 awards season grows closer, it’s likely we’ll see more people added to that list.
Here are 20 people we think have a chance at obtaining EGOT status sometime down the line.
