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

"EGOT" redirects here. For other uses, see EGOT (disambiguation).

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"). These awards honor outstanding achievements in, respectively, television, music or other audio recording, film, and theater. Winning all four awards has been referred to as winning the Grand Slam of show business. 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.

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. Two of these artists, Rodgers and Hamlisch, have also won the Pulitzer Prize.
