The EGOT—an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony—is one of the rarest honors in entertainment. Only a handful of artists have earned all four, and many others are just one trophy away. Below is a fresh look at the current holders and those on the brink.
Current EGOT Holders
| Name | Last Award Added |
|---|---|
| Steven Spielberg | Grammy (2026) |
| John Legend | Emmy, Oscar, Tony |
| Helen Hayes | Emmy, Grammy, Oscar |
| Elton John | Emmy, Grammy, Oscar |
| Andrew Lloyd Webber | Grammy, Tony, Oscar |
| Ben Pasek & Justin Paul | Grammy, Tony, Oscar |
| Audrey Hepburn | Emmy, Grammy, Tony |
| Richard Rodgers | Emmy, Grammy, Oscar |
These artists have proven mastery across film, theater, music and television.
Near‑Misses
| Artist | Missing Award(s) |
|---|---|
| Cher | Tony |
| Julie Andrews | Tony |
| Liza Minnelli | Tony |
| Cynthia Nixon | Grammy (has a Tony) |
| Dick Van Dyke | Oscar (has a Tony) |

| Bette Midler | Emmy (has a Grammy, Oscar, Tony) |
| Al Pacino | Emmy (has a Grammy, Oscar, Tony) |
| Helen Mirren | Grammy (has an Oscar and a Tony) |
Many of these performers have already secured three awards, but one missing piece keeps them from full recognition. Some are close in a single discipline; others span multiple fields.
The Path to EGOT
Reaching EGOT status is a long‑term journey that demands:
- Versatility across media
- Perseverance over decades
- A touch of luck
The list underscores how rare it is for a single individual to dominate all four major entertainment arenas. The EGOT remains one of the most coveted milestones in the arts.
