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.{{cite news |last=Long |first=Tim |date=February 26, 2008 |title=The Oscars: Where Is the Love for Philip Michael Thomas? |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2008/02/the-oscars-wher.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091207085431/http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2008/02/the-oscars-wher.html |archive-date=December 7, 2009 |work=Vanity Fair}}{{cite web |last = McIntee |first = Michael |title = Wahoo Gazette.

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 (Cynthia Erivo, Rachel Bay Jones, Katrina Lenk, Ben Platt, and Ari'el Stachel) 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.{{cite web |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/awards/8542030/daytime-emmys-rule-change-ends-controversial-egot-shortcut |title= Daytime Emmys' Rule Change Ends Controversial Shortcut to EGOT Status |publisher=Billboard |access-date=September 21, 2024 |year=2020}}

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.{{Cite web |last=Stewart |first=Zachary |date=2023-06-16 |title=Story of the Week: Your EGOT Shouldn't Count If You Signed on Late as a Producer |url=https://www.theatermania.com/news/story-of-the-week-your-egot-shouldnt-count-if-you-signed-on-late-as-a-producer_1705814/ |access-date=2023-06-22 |website=TheaterMania}}

Alan Menken has the most Oscar wins (8) by an EGOT.

Non-competitive EGOT synopses

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 (born 1942) 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.

Lady Gaga reordered the acronym as EGORT, when she hosted Saturday Night Live and poked fun at her win for Worst Screen Combo (with Joaquin Phoenix) from Joker: Folie à Deux.{{cite magazine |url = https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/saturday-night-live-lady-gaga-lord-gaga |title = Saturday Night Live Presents Lady Gaga and Lord Gaga, Long May They Reign |first = Karen |last = Valby |date = March 9, 2025 |magazine = Vanity Fair |access-date = March 9, 2025 |archive-date = March 9, 2025 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20250309134545/https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/saturday-night-live-lady-gaga-lord-gaga |url-status = live}}

Alternatively, publications such as Vulture have listed the REGOT as including an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.{{cite news |url = https://www.vulture.com/article/egot-emmy-grammy-oscar-tony-contenders-odds.html |title = EGOT Watch: Who Will Be Next to Complete the Awards-Show Grand Slam? |first = Nate |last = Jones |date = September 4, 2024 |work = Vulture |access-date = February 8, 2025}} 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, 14 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 (and their predecessors, the Gemini Awards and the Genie Awards) for film and television, the Juno Awards for music, and the Dora Mavor Moore Awards for theatre.{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/arts/no-canadian-has-ever-won-an-egot-but-what-about-the-canadian-egot-1.4555368 |title=No Canadian has ever won an EGOT — but what about the Canadian EGOT? |work=CBC Arts |last=Collins |first=Leah |date=March 6, 2018 |access-date=July 19, 2022 |archive-date=July 9, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220709025430/https://www.cbc.ca/arts/no-canadian-has-ever-won-an-egot-but-what-about-the-canadian-egot-1.4555368 |url-status=live}} Toronto-based game show Trivia Club referred to this combination as the "Two-Can-Ju-Do".{{cite web | url=https://www.triviaclub.ca/2021/06/what-is-canadian-egot-junos-csa-dora.html | title=Trivia Club: What is the Canadian EGOT, and Why is it the Two-Can-Ju-Do? | access-date=July 9, 2022 | archive-date=July 9, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220709025437/https://www.triviaclub.ca/2021/06/what-is-canadian-egot-junos-csa-dora.html | url-status=live}} 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.{{cite web | url=https://goat.com.au/arias/hugh-jackman-might-be-close-to-egot-but-who-will-be-the-first-to-nail-the-aussie-equivalent/ | title=Hugh Jackman Might be Close to EGOT, but Who Will be the First to Nail the Aussie Equivalent? | date=March 11, 2019 | access-date=July 9, 2022 | archive-date=March 14, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230314105513/https://goat.com.au/arias/hugh-jackman-might-be-close-to-egot-but-who-will-be-the-first-to-nail-the-aussie-equivalent/ | url-status=live}} She also could not identify any winners of all four awards, although Noni Hazlehurst has received nominations in all four.
