As the list of three-award franchises grows ever larger, I think this is a good time to set some rules on what is included for these awards. If a song written for the franchise wins a Grammy, but that Grammy wasn't given in conjunction with the film (as is the case with Rocky and Looney Tunes), did the franchise really win a Grammy? Do spinoffs and prequels count, as for The Wizard of Oz and Looney Tunes? Do all adaptations count, even if they aren't the same story, such as Titanic? I just want to set some ground rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbb618 ( talk • contribs) 14:18, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
I'm not crazy about considering The Wizard of Oz as a "franchise" for this purpose either, inasmuch as "franchise" sounds like it means a commercial property and the different Oz adaptations—the 1939 film, The Wiz, Wicked, etc.—were made independently of each other, with different intellectual property owners, etc. (If the 1940 film The Thief of Bagdad had won an Oscar, would we count it toward the total for the "Aladdin franchise"?

It seems that this talk page is way too long. Since Help:Archiving a talk page says to establish a consensus on a article talk page before setting up a bot, I would like to suggest using ClueBot III's sequentially numbered archives for this page. If there is no other opinion in 7 days or if the consensus agrees with me, then I will enable it at that time. Elisfkc ( talk) 19:48, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
For example: Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova wrote "Falling Slowly" and the rest of the music for Once. They won the Academy Award for the film version. Once was then, of course, adopted into a musical. Which won for Best Musical, lyrics and music credited to Hansard and Irglova. That cast recording of their songs won the Grammy. Have they won one, two or three awards? Hansard's page says he only has an Academy Award, but it would seem to me that he has two if not three. 2601:18D:0:7CC2:5:6BF4:AE:9844 ( talk)A Curious Interloper —Preceding undated comment added 21:46, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
It is stated in his wikipedia article that Quincy Jones won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical in 2016, therefore becoming the first African-American producer to have won an Emmy, Grammy, Tony and an Oscar, meaning he's an EGOT winner (although his Oscar is an honorary one). Has it been updated, or is there something wrong with this info? -- Lluvia Roja ( talk) 16:36, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be deleted seeing as there is not a single source cited that shows that anyone other than some, admittedly, dedicated wikipedia editors, are actually keeping track of this or care about this. And if we are going to keep it, shouldn't this section have at least ONE source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schnapps17 ( talk • contribs) 23:16, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
Wouldn't the more appropriate metric be how old a person was when they finished their EGOT? For example, Robert Lopez would have halved his "Years to complete" from 10 to 5 if he had not won in 2004 and 2008 (Emmy in 2010, Tony in 2011, Grammy in 2012, and Oscar in 2014). In theory, you could argue the "Years to complete" should start at the start of their career, not when they won their first EGOT-eligible award. I think it would be best to list both age at completion and years to complete. - Paul T +/ C 16:17, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
Once again, there are zero references in the PEGOT section. Schnapps17 ( talk) 17:18, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
I'm opening this to establish consensus regarding the four nominations section. I think this section should only include people who have received nominations for all four awards in competitive categories. Currently, there are four people listed who have received three competitive nominations and one special award ( Howard Ashman, Judy Garland, Steve Martin, and Bruce Springsteen) and I think these people shouldn't be there. The introductory sentence of the section says "The following people have not won all four awards in competitive categories, but have received at least one nomination for each of them", which simply isn't true for these four individuals. They haven't received a nomination for each of the four awards and a special award isn't really equivalent to a competitive nomination. If they one day receive the missing nomination, they can be included with a note regarding the special award, but until then, I think they shouldn't be included. Thank you in advance for your comments on this issue. Felida97 ( talk) 12:04, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
How do they qualify? The first line of the article states "Fifteen people[1][2] have won all four major annual American entertainment awards in a competitive, individual (non-group) category of the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (EGOT) Awards." (Emphasis mine) How do they qualify if they all won the same Primetime Emmy? doesn't that mean they won it as a group? The Pony Toast 🍞 ( Talk) 15:47, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
Also, how do they count when Jesus Christ Superstar didn't win any Emmys? The Mo-Ja'al ( talk) 23:00, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
Just putting this here for later: The cast of The Band's Visit is up for a Daytime Emmy for their performance on the Today Show. If they end up winning, Katrina Lenk and Ari'el Stachel will join the list of those who are missing an Oscar (Tony Shalhoub won't, because he didn't win the Grammy).
Also, we should reconsider the "non-group" listing in the header, since the official nomination is given to "Cast of The Band's Visit". Same with last year and Rachel Bay Jones (the Emmy was given to "Ben Platt and the Cast of Dear Evan Hansen"). Sbb618 ( talk) 21:02, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
According to the provided source, Sherman has won the Tony, Grammy and Emmy (the latter a "2011 Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Song-Children’s and Animation for Sesame Street's 'What I Am'").

Considering the debated stated at the beginning of the article whether the 'P' in PEGOT stands for Peabody Award or Pulitzer Prize, is there a reason why there is a "People who have won a Pulitzer, and are only missing one EGOT award" segment but not one for the Peabody?
Going through some of the people listed under Three Competitive Awards, James Moll (missing a Tony) is an example of someone who would be listed in such a section. I admit to not fully understanding how the Peabody Awards is credited to individuals when a project wins one, so within the list of 'Missing a Tony Award' there could also be Brian Glazer who produced Peabody-winning Friday Night Lights or Martin Scorsese who directed Peabody-winning No Direction Home.
Similarly, in the notes for Three Competitive Awards, there is "P" for Person has won the Pulitzer Prize but nothing for winning a Peabody. Should it be "PP" and "PA" for Pulitzer Prize and Peabody Award, respectively?
P.S. James Moll is listed as a Peabody Winner in the categories of his Wikipedia page. He won for the documentary 'Survivors of the Holocaust'.
P.S.2. Other people who were involved with Peabody winning projects:

"PEGOT" is not even a commonly used or agreed upon term. Only two sources are cited in that part of the article, and one of them is from the official Peabody Awards site. Trivialist ( talk) 16:46, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
The article lists Stan Lathan as having 3/4 awards (Tony, Grammy, and Emmy), but this is debatable. His Emmy Award is completely valid; however, the Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event is special (but competitive, which might still make it count), and neither Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album lists him as recipient. I believe that's argument enough to be excluded; any opinions on this are appreciated. 190.193.171.57 ( talk) 01:37, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

List of people who have won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards – Here's another article where
WP:CONSISTENT apparently conflicts with
WP:COMMONNAME, and consensus needs to determine which guideline prevails. Since there has not yet been an RM on record for this specific issue, better late than never. On the one hand the current article title is consistent with the
Academy Awards article title in using "Academy" instead of "Oscar". On the other hand, most of the sources cited in this article use "Oscar", and explicitly spell out the "EGOT" acronym (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony), and put those awards in that order when referring to this list of people. Also when I do a
Google search of "academy emmy grammy tony winners" many of the reliable sources I see that talk about the EGOT winners primarily use "Oscar", while many of those that primarily use "Academy" seem to be Wikipedia mirrors. There is also precedence for using "Oscar" instead of "Academy": it's currently
Oscar bait and
Oscar season, not "Academy Award bait" and "Academy Award season".

User:Felida97, I based the addition of Dylan's Nobel partly on Francis Ford Coppola's famous claim that Apocalypse Now would be the first film to win a Nobel Prize [2] (it didn't, despite winning 2 Oscars). Others undoubtedly aspired to it without saying so out loud. There is no "NEGOT" because nobody in show biz before 2016 actually got the Nobel, yet it fits the EGOT concept and frankly transcends the regular EGOT categories. So some kind of special mention seems apropos, though I'm not attached to my wording. I won't unrevert a 2nd time but I believe this is something to consider. 2602:24A:DE47:BA60:8FCB:EA4E:7FBD:4814 ( talk) 19:30, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
The blue name links in the EGOT winner chart do not seem to be working for me. They do not lead to the person’s wiki page or scroll me down to their section of this page either.

How exactly is it determined which of the people who helped create an award-winning work themselves won that award? Jennifer Hudson is listed as having won a Tony for A Strange Loop, but it was the play itself that won a Tony (for Best Musical), and Hudson is only one of many producers of the play. So where is the line drawn? Does everyone credited in a Best Picture Oscar winner count as having won an Oscar, including actors who only had one line? Oooooooseven ( talk) 14:56, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

The article mentioned in the section title was AfD'ed with consensus to merge to here recently. However, I am aware that the content had been split from here in 2017 as not covered by the topic of this page and the main reference [1] is strongly suspected of being CIRCULAR and ultimately derived from this Wikipedia article itself. Therefore I would value any input by editors of this page on what if anything should be merged from List of franchises that have won Academy, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards.

Can people please stop trying to make "franchise EGOTs" happen? Other than that editors creating the idea, and that one article that was basically using Wikipedia as a source, they aren't a commonly accepted thing. The point of an EGOT is that it's an accomplishment by one person. A franchise "getting" an EGOT just means that four different people won an award, which isn't an extraordinary accomplishment.

*** WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS A CONTAINS 30-ROCK SPOLIER *** — Preceding unsigned comment added by FillsHerTease ( talk • contribs) 01:34, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
I am currently watching 30 Rock and came here to find out if anyone had achieved an EGOT in real life, because - as pointed out in the Lede - the Tracy Jordan character in the show sets out to achieve it. However, I now know that the Tracy Jordan character achieves his goal, not from continuing to watch 30 Rock, but because of a completely unnecessary spoiler!
So ... if no one objects, I am going to delete the spoiler part of the Lede, because it has nothing whatsoever to do with the EGOT. Mentioning that the Tracy Jordan character in 30 Rock helped to achieve wider recognition for the EGOT term - in real life - is certainly pertinent, so I will leave that, but the spoiler regarding him achieving the goal in the show is superfluous, and it's only potential achievement is to spoil that character arc for other people like myself, so therefore it should be removed...

Frank Marshall is listed as one of the people who have won three awards with one of them being an honorary prize (in his case he has an honorary Oscar, a competitive Grammy and a competitive Tony). He is now nominated for a Sports Emmy Award as one of the producers of the documentary The Reedem Team. If he wins it, would that Sports Emmy count as a normal Emmy win? Or do we only count Primetime and Daytime Emmys?
I see that some of the individuals listed as having three competitive award wins have won News and Documentary Emmys and there are cases in the Triple Crown of Acting article where they count International Emmys too. I don't think there are any articles from reputable sources that adress this issue. Leo Mercury ( talk) 11:02, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Jennifer Hudson is listed as having won a Tony for A Strange Loop, but it was the play itself that won a Tony (for Best Musical), and Hudson is only one of many producers of the play. So where is the line drawn? Does everyone credited in a Best Picture Oscar winner count as having won an Oscar, including actors who only had one line? Oooooooseven ( talk) 14:56, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

The article mentioned in the section title was AfD'ed with consensus to merge to here recently. However, I am aware that the content had been split from here in 2017 as not covered by the topic of this page and the main reference [1] is strongly suspected of being CIRCULAR and ultimately derived from this Wikipedia article itself. Therefore I would value any input by editors of this page on what if anything should be merged from List of franchises that have won Academy, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards.

Can people please stop trying to make "franchise EGOTs" happen? Other than that editors creating the idea, and that one article that was basically using Wikipedia as a source, they aren't a commonly accepted thing. The point of an EGOT is that it's an accomplishment by one person. A franchise "getting" an EGOT just means that four different people won an award, which isn't an extraordinary accomplishment.

Both have won Emmys, Grammys, and a shared Oscar. The only thing they need is a Tony. -- Aabicus ( talk) 02:38, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

*** WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS A CONTAINS 30-ROCK SPOLIER *** — Preceding unsigned comment added by FillsHerTease ( talk • contribs) 01:34, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
I am currently watching 30 Rock and came here to find out if anyone had achieved an EGOT in real life, because - as pointed out in the Lede - the Tracy Jordan character in the show sets out to achieve it. However, I now know that the Tracy Jordan character achieves his goal, not from continuing to watch 30 Rock, but because of a completely unnecessary spoiler!
So ... if no one objects, I am going to delete the spoiler part of the Lede, because it has nothing whatsoever to do with the EGOT. Mentioning that the Tracy Jordan character in 30 Rock helped to achieve wider recognition for the EGOT term - in real life - is certainly pertinent, so I will leave that, but the spoiler regarding him achieving the goal in the show is superfluous, and it's only potential achievement is to spoil that character arc for other people like myself, so therefore it should be removed...

Frank Marshall is listed as one of the people who have won three awards with one of them being an honorary prize (in his case he has an honorary Oscar, a competitive Grammy and a competitive Tony). He is now nominated for a Sports Emmy Award as one of the producers of the documentary The Reedem Team. If he wins it, would that Sports Emmy count as a normal Emmy win? Or do we only count Primetime and Daytime Emmys?
I see that some of the individuals listed as having three competitive award wins have won News and Documentary Emmys and there are cases in the Triple Crown of Acting article where they count International Emmys too. I don't think there are any articles from reputable sources that adress this issue. Leo Mercury ( talk) 11:02, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
