List of people who have won Academy, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards

Contents

This is a list of people who have won all four major annual American entertainment awards, the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony — abbreviated EGOT, or sometimes GATE ("A" for "Academy").[1][2][3] These awards honor outstanding achievements in, respectively, television, music or other audio recording, film, and theater.[4] Winning all four awards has been referred to as winning the Grand Slam of show business.[5][6] The acronym EGOT was invented by actor Philip Michael Thomas and was used as a plot device in several episodes of the TV series 30 Rock.[7][8]

Four awards

To date, ten 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 and director Mike Nichols.[4] Two of these artists, Rodgers and Hamlisch, also won the Pulitzer Prize. John Gielgud won two "Special" Tony Awards, in 1948 (Outstanding Foreign Company) and 1959 (contribution to theatre),[9] prior to his 1961 win for Best Director (Dramatic), for the drama Big Fish, Little Fish.

Three other performers, Liza Minnelli, James Earl Jones and Barbra Streisand, 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).[4]

The 10 artists who won competitive awards are listed below in chronological order by the date that they won the fourth award. They are followed chronologically by the three artists whose awards were not exclusively competitive, but also included special or honorary awards.

Other winners
