It’s fitting that Spielberg clinched EGOT status as a producer of a film about John Williams because the two men have been close collaborators for more than 50 years. Williams has won four of his five Oscars for scoring Spielberg films: Jaws, Star Wars, E.T. – The Extra-Terrestrial and Schindler’s List.
Only 22 people have achieved EGOT status, which has become the ultimate mic-drop move in show business.
If the original idea of becoming an EGOT meant going to the very top in four distinct fields of entertainment, shortcuts have materialized to getting there, which has made the achievement more commonplace and less worthy of awe. The Tonys dole out producer credits far too liberally. Both Spielberg and Jennifer Hudson won their Tony Awards for being among more than 40 producers on the 2022 Broadway musical, A Strange Loop.
And not all EGOT awards are equally easy or hard to get. There are currently just 24 categories at the Oscars and 26 at the Tony Awards. Far more awards are handed out at the Grammys (95 categories this year) and the Primetime Emmys (a whopping 123 categories this year, spread out over three nights). And that doesn’t even count the various other Emmy shows, such as the Daytime Emmys and the Children’s and Family Emmys.
We mentioned earlier that the definition of EGOT is having won at least one Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony in competition. There’s some debate about that. Six more individuals — Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, James Earl Jones, Harry Belafonte, Quincy Jones and director-producer Frank Marshall — qualify if you count honorary or special awards. However, most EGOT experts don’t count non-competitive awards. The whole point is to have won the awards in competition.
Here’s a comprehensive rundown on the competitive winners’ road to EGOT.
