    • An EGOT is someone who has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.
    • It’s one of the highest honors in the entertainment industry, and only 21 people have done it.
    • However, there are plenty of stars who are just one award away.

    Being an EGOT — the winner of an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony — is a crowning achievement for any actor, musician, writer, producer, or director. Icons such as Whoopi Goldberg, Audrey Hepburn, Mel Brooks, Jennifer Hudson, and Alan Menken have all cemented their place in history by earning all four awards.

    However, as you might have guessed, it’s quite hard to win all four, as evidenced by these 15 stars who are just one pesky Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, or Tony from being in this exclusive club.

    Here’s who’s this close to being an EGOT, from Martin Scorsese to Cynthia Erivo.

    Vinciane Ngomsi contributed to an earlier version of this report.
