EGOT Maniacs - Name the EGOT Winners

Postby Zen » Mon Feb 11, 2019 9:26 am

Fifteen people have won all four major American annual Entertainment Awards in a competitive, individual (non-group) category of the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (EGOT) Awards. This is referred to as the "Grand Slam" of American Show Business. In addition, six others have one all four with one of the awards being a non-competitive award. (Like a life-time achievement award or something like that.) Can you name them?

How do the points work? I decided to use the number of years needed to complete the slam as the metric for points, so, to start, each correct guess will get points based on the number of years to complete subtracted by 100 for the true EGOT winners and divided by 2 for the EGOT Light winners.

This is based on the list on Wikipedia. As always, looking things up is not good form...

EGOT
1. Robert Lopez - First: Tony (2004) Fourth: Oscar (2014) 10 years = 90 pts (poorpete)
2. John Legend - First: Grammy (2006) Fourth: Emmy (2018) 12 years = 88 pts (akiva)
3. Rita Moreno - First: Oscar (1961) Fourth: Emmy (1977) 16 years = 84 pts (Tahlvin)
4. Richard Rodgers - First: Oscar (1945) Fourth: Emmy (1977) 17 years = 83 pts (Eliahad)
5. Whoopie Goldberg - First: Grammy (1986) Fourth: Emmy or Tony, whichever comes first (2002) 17 years = 83 pts (Kyle)
6. Jonathan Tunick - First: Oscar (1977) Fourth Tony (1997) 20 years = 80 pts UNCLAIMED
7. Marvin Hamlish - First: Oscar (1973) Fourth: Emmy (1995) 23 years = 77 pts (poorpete)
8. Scott Rudin - First: Emmy (1967) Fourth: Tony (2001) 34 years = 66 pts UNCLAIMED
9. John Gielgood - First: Tony (1961) Fourth: Emmy (1991) 30 years = 70 pts (Kyle)
10. Mel Brooks - First: Emmy (1967) Fourth: Tony (2001) 34 years = 66 pts (Tahlvin)
11. Andrew Lloyd Webber - First: Tony or Grammy (1980) Fourth: Emmy (2018) 38 years = 62 pts (poorpete)
12. Tim Rice - First: Tony or Grammy (1980) Fourth: Emmy (2018) 38 years = 62 pts (akiva)
13. Mike Nichols - First: Grammy (1961) Fourth: Emmy (2001) 40 years = 60 pts (poorpete)
14. Audrey Hepburn - First: Oscar (1953) Fourth Grammy (1994) 41 years = 59 pts (Tahlvin)
15. Helen Hayes - First: Oscar (1932) Fourth: Grammy (1977) 45 years = 55 pts (akiva)

EGOT Light
1. Barbra Streisand - First: Grammy (1964) Fourth Special Tony Award (1970) Non-competitive: Tony: Special Tony Award: Star of the Decade 6 years = 47 pts (Tahlvin)
2. Alan Menken - First: Oscar (1989) Fourth: Grammy (2012) Non-competitive: Emmy (Outstanding contribution to the success of the Academy's anti-drug special for children) 23 years = 38.5 pts (Tahlvin)
3. Liza Minnelli - First: Tony (1966) Last: Grammy(1990) Non-competitive: Special Grammy Award: Grammy Legend Award (non-competitive) (1990) 25 years = 37.5 pts (poorpete)
4. James Earl Jones - First: Tony (1969) Fourth: Oscar (2011) Non-competitive: Academy Honorary Award (2011) 42 years = 29 pts (Tahlvin)
5. Quincy Jones - First: Grammy (1964) Fourth: Tony (2016) Non-competitive: Oscar - Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award (non-competitive) (1994) 52 years = 24 pts (poorpete)
6. Harry Belafonte - First; Tony (1954) Fourth: Oscar: 2014) Non-competitive: Oscar - Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award (non-competitive) (2014) 60 years = 20 pts (Tahlvin)

Not and EGOT guesses:
Elaine Stritch - Not an EGOT (Missing multiple)
Leonard Bernstein - Not an EGOT (Missing an Oscar)
Leonard Cohen not an EGOT (missing multiple)
Stephen Sondheim not an EGOT (missing an Emmy)
Tracy Jordan - not an EGOT (Fictional as far as I can tell)
Oscar Hammerstein - not an EGOT (missing an Emmy)
Philip Michael Thomas - not an EGOT (though he is credited with coining the term...)
Elton John - not an EGOT (missing an EMMY)
Lorenz Hart - not an EGOT (missing multiple)
Carl Reiner - not an EGOT (missing multiple)
John Williams - not an EGOT (missing a Tony)
Cher - not an EGOT (missing a Tony)
Patty Lupone - not an EGOT (missing multiple)
Angela Lansbury - not an EGOT (detailed in poorpete's post - she deserves it! How could she NOT at least have an Emmy? That's almost as bad as Susan Lucci!)
Judy Garland - not an EGOT (missing an Emmy to be a non-competitive EGOT)
Brian Grazer - not an EGOT (missing a Tony)
Michael Jackson - not an EGOT (missing multiple)

Standings
Poorpete: 350.5 - WINNER
Tahlvin: 343.5
Akiva: 205
Kyle: 153
Eliahad: 83

Oscar Hammerstein. I had to google to get his first name. I don't know if that's cheating or not.
