If you tuned in to the Grammys this year hoping to witness a celebrity EGOT, you might have been left wanting. None of the nominees were just one award away from achieving EGOT status. Nonetheless, there was one notable win that brought a singer closer to the coveted achievement. And with the Oscars on the horizon, it's a perfect time to take a look at the celebrities who are inching closer to EGOT-ing.
The EGOT is the culmination of four major awards: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. Very few celebrities have managed to win all four of these prestigious honors. While the TV show 30 Rock popularized the concept of EGOT, the term was actually coined by Philip Michael Thomas from Miami Vice back in 1984.
