princess 1,710 Report post Posted August 13, 2021 Haven't thought of EGOT peeps in a while. Hollywood Stars One Award Away From an EGOT A list of the Hollywood stars who just need one award to have an EGOT — an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists/next-egot-celebs-one-award-away-emmy-grammy-oscar-tony-wins-1124503/burt-bacharach/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) I did this morning - Ben Platt was on Today show and he just needs an Oscar 😉 Though I forget what his Emmy is so I need to revisit..... Is it just me or does it seem the EGOT is easier now? Not sure if it's because talented creative people have so many more options for engagement now, or because categories have widened for non-traditional options (like spoken word grammys - have those always been a thing??)

dixiedoodah 1,003 Report post Posted August 13, 2021 I agree and for some it was literally all the same performance. Tony for a role, Grammy for the recorded version, Emmy for the version you did on “Broadway on the Today Show” as a special event, etc. I feel like that’s the easy way out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted August 14, 2021 The overall number is still smaller than I'd think, so I guess it's not quite as easy as I thought 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
