Coined by “Miami Vice” actor Philip Michael Thomas back in the 1980s, an Egot is a designation for anyone in the performing arts who has won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. There are debates as to whether you need to win all competitively, but an honorary award has been deemed acceptable to most awards score-keepers. Of the 22 individuals who fall in one of the two categories, only six have been Black, though 2023 could add a few more familiar faces to the list, including Violas Davis. If she wins a Grammy on February 5, it won’t make up for her egregious recent Oscar snub, but she will be a member of the Egot club.
Here is a look at those who have claimed the honor and those just one award away from doing so.
