The, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards are considered the four major entertainment prizes in American show business. Each award is presented annually to honor outstanding achievements, respectively, in television, music, film and theater. Winning all four awards has been called the Showbiz Award Grand Slam or EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony)
As of March 2014, 12 people have won all four awards in competitive categories. The recipients: John Gielgud(actor), Whoopi Goldberg (actress), Helen Hayes(actress), Audrey Hepburn (actress), Rita Moreno(actress), Marvin Hamlisch (composer), Richard Rodgers (composer), Jonathan Tunick (composer), Robert Lopez (songwriter); Mel Brooks (actor, screenwriter, producer), Scott Rudin (producer) and Mike Nichols (comedian, director).
Two of these artists -- Rodgers and Hamlisch -- won a Pulitzer Prize as well.
Three other artists -- Liza Minnelli, Barbra Streisand, and James Earl Jones -- have also received all of the four major entertainment awards, although some of their prizes were not exclusively competitive.
