What Makes Viola Davis's EGOT Win So Special (Vanity Fair)

With her Grammy win for best audiobook, Davis becomes the first actor in nearly 30 years to achieve a particularly impressive type of EGOT status.

[John Legend](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/09/john-legend-emmy-egot), and, most recently, [Jennifer Hudson](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/06/jennifer-hudson-achieves-egot-status-with-a-strange-loop-tony-win). Until then, Davis holds the distinction of being the 18th EGOT member and one of the very best to ever do it. Producing, of course, is a vital part of the artistic process that deserves to be celebrated, and an EGOT is an EGOT no matter how you achieve it. Plenty of people, from rappers Common and Eminem, to actors including Kate Winslet, Frances McDormand, Cynthia Erivo, and Hugh Jackman, to musicians like Elton John and Cyndi Lauper are one competitive award win away from achieving EGOT status. Many performers on the EGOT list have earned at least one of their competitive awards via producing: Jennifer Hudson’s best-musical Tony for A Strange Loop in 2022 and her Daytime Emmy for outstanding interactive media for a daytime program for Baba Yaga in 2021; John Legend for best revival of a play for August Wilson’s Jitney in 2017; and Whoopi Goldberg’s best-musical Tony for Thoroughly Modern Millie in 2002.

Still, her recent EGOT achievement solidifies that Davis— She becomes just the 18th person in history to win a competitive Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.
