usmagazine.com:

The best in the biz! Only 17 stars to date have earned the most coveted honor in Hollywood: the EGOT.The awe-inspiring acronym is shorthand for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony, the four highest achievements one could receive in the entertainment industry.

Each award represents a standout in the field of television (Emmy), music (Grammy), film (Oscar) and Tony (Broadway) — and it is an incredibly rare feat to capture all four.

While it took some celebrities nearly 40-plus years to score the EGOT, others — like John Legend and Jennifer Hudson — have achieved the honor in just a couple of decades.Hudson, who got her start as a finalist on season 3 of American Idol — placing seventh overall — is the 17th entertainer to get EGOT status, scoring a Tony in June 2022 for coproducing the highly-acclaimed Broadway musical A Strange Loop.

She began her EGOT journey with the best supporting actress Oscar in 2007 for her star turn as Effie in Dreamgirls. She scored her first Grammy two years later and came back for another golden gramophone in 2017.
