List of EGOT winners

Twelve people have won all four major annual American entertainment awards in a competitive, individual (non-group), category: the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. Doing so may be abbreviated EGOT.^[1][2] These awards honor outstanding achievements in, respectively, television, music (or other audio recording), film, and theater.^[3] Winning all four awards has been referred to as winning the grand slam of show business.^[4][5] The acronym EGOT was coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas.^[6]

To date, twelve individuals have won all four awards in competitive categories. They are actors John Gielgud, Helen Hayes, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno and Whoopi Goldberg; composers Marvin Hamlisch, Richard Rodgers, Jonathan Tunick and Robert Lopez; director/screenwriter Mel Brooks; comedian/director/producer Mike Nichols; and producer Scott Rudin.^[3]
