Vincitori dei premi Emmy, Grammy, Oscar e Tony

Con l'acronimo EGOT si indicano le persone che hanno vinto i quattro principali premi annuali statunitensi dedicati all'intrattenimento: Emmy Award, Grammy Award, Premio Oscar e Tony Award.^[1] Il primo è dedicato all'ambito televisivo, il secondo alla musica, il terzo al cinema e il quarto al teatro. L'acronimo è stato ideato dall'attore Philip Michael Thomas.^[2] Vincere tutti i quattro premi è inteso come il "grande slam" dello show-business.^[3]^[4]

"...Thomas took to wearing a gold medallion emblazoned with the letters "EGOT", which stood for "Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony." As Thomas told an interviewer in 1984, "Hopefully in the next five years I will win all of those awards." As of February 2008, ... only twelve people in history have ever won all four – among them, Mike Nichols, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno, and Marvin Hamlisch.
