Milestones requiring this award

  • EGOT

    A competitive win at the Emmys, the Grammys, the Oscars and the Tonys. Fewer than two dozen people have completed it, and only a fraction of those did so in performance categories.

  • Triple Crown of Acting

    A competitive acting win at the Academy Awards, the Primetime Emmy Awards and the Tony Awards. The purest measure of range across the three screen and stage traditions.

  • Grand Slam of Acting

    The Triple Crown plus a competitive Grammy Award, which in practice means a spoken word or musical theatre album win.
