Actor Viola Davis achieves EGOT with win at Grammys

LOS ANGELES — Add yet another honor to Viola Davis' long list of accolades.

On Sunday, the acclaimed actor became the 18th EGOT winner when she earned a Grammy Award in the audio book, narration and storytelling recording category. Davis was nominated for narrating the audio versions of her 2022 memoir, "Finding Me."

EGOT status, most recently achieved in 2021 by Jennifer Hudson, indicates a person has won at least one of each of the "big four" awards: Emmy (television), Grammy (recording arts), Oscar (film) and Tony (stage). Sunday's Grammy sealed the deal for the "The Woman King" actor-producer.
