Last night, the exclusive EGOT Club grew by 25% when it had three new members.
John Legend, Sir Tim Rice and Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber have all received Emmy awards for NBC's co-production Jesus Christ Superstar, which was broadcast on Easter Sunday. This brings to 15 the total number of artists who have won all major awards (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony).
The realization of the EGOT is unofficial – but extremely attractive – Barometer of success in the entertainment industry. Yet she favors some professions far more than others. What can a star-in-the-making do to increase their chances?
First of all, let's look at the winners from last night. The big thing to remember is that all three are musicians, with Legend a singer and songwriter and Rice and Lloyd Webber mainly composers. (They wrote Super star while Legend played the title role).
Legend's roots are in the R & B world, with 10 Grammys to his credit and an Oscar for Best Original Song ("Glory"). Selma). At 39, he is the youngest EGOTeer and the only black man to win all four awards. Rice and Webber have composed for decades, together and separately, and both have been knighted by the British monarchy for their contributions to the arts.
However, the trio won his Emmys not for his performance or his score, but for his roles as co-producers of the show. The legend, whose feats of actors will probably have no chance of winning the title, also got his Tony for a production job, during the success of last year. Jitney. And the really useful Webber company has produced cats and The ghost of the Opera (which he also wrote).
In fact, out of the 15 EGOTeers, seven of them have won at least one award by producing, instead of writing or performing. Scott Rudin is the only one to have won all his production work, producing more than 130 film and television projects and 70 Broadway shows.
Of the others, eight are mainly composers, including Robert Lopez (frozen) and Richard Rodgers, from the legendary Rodgers & Hammerstein duo. Only six are actors, and three of them are comedians who have won Grammys for the best comedy album (Mel Brooks, Whoopi Goldberg and Mike Nichols).
It is therefore logical to look at composers and producers for future Egyptian futures. And there are two parties that are actively competing for this last letter.
Lin-Manuel Miranda has achieved world renown – and lots of awards – for childbirth Hamilton in 2015 he had gotten an Emmy for writing the Tony Awards show in 2013. So when Disney signed it for several post-Hamilton projects, an Oscar felt inevitable in the near future.
Coupe in 2017, when his Moana The song "How Far I'm Go" was indeed nominated – and was snatched by the duo of wunderkind composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who won the trophy for writing the lyrics of The Land & # 39; s "City of Stars"
Pasek and Paul quickly won their other awards with Dear even Hansen, which was sold on Broadway for almost two years. Now they are looking for an Emmy. (They could have landed last night, but SNL won the honors for the song "Come Back Barack".)
Miranda and Pasek and Paul will likely both be in the near future. The Emmy duo is probably easier because there are plenty of music and production opportunities in more than 150 categories, and as long as Miranda will be in Disney's stable, he will push him to be worn Oscar nominee.
For the rest, many actors have the "triple crown" (Emmy, Oscar, Tony), but few are likely to win a Grammy unless making a humorous album or a friend with Diplo in the studio. And as an Al Pacino dubstep track could be in theory, I really can not see it evolve.
