Twelve people have won all four major annual American entertainment awards in a competitive, individual (non-group) category of the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards. Respectively, these awards honor outstanding achievements in television, recording, film, and theater. Winning all four awards has been referred to as winning the "grand slam" of American show business.The acronym EGOT was coined by actor Philip Michael Thomas in late 1984, when his role on the new hit show Miami Vice brought instant fame, gregariously stating a desire to complete his own EGOT-winning collection. When coining the acronym, Thomas stated that it also means "energy, growth, opportunity and talent". However, he also intended that the "E" should only stand for the Primetime Emmy Award, and not a Daytime Emmy nor any of the awards presented at the other types of Emmy ceremonies. Nevertheless, two of 12 people listed as EGOT winners have "only" won the Daytime Emmy. |
