Viola Davis achieved a rare accolade during Sunday’s Grammys preshow, becoming the 18th person to join the EGOT club, an acronym for those who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.
At the Sunday ceremony, she won the feat with her first Grammy Award for the audiobook of her memoir Finding Me, in the category best audiobook, storytelling and recording. It was also his first nomination.
I wrote this book to honor 6-year-old Viola, 57-year-old Davis said from the podium. To honor his life, his joy, his trauma, everything. And it’s just been such a trip. I just EGOT!
In 2015, Davis won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for her role in the ABC series How to Get Away with Murder; in 2017, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Fences, the film directed by Denzel Washington, written by August Wilson, based on Wilson’s 1985 play; and she won two Tony Awards, for King Hedley II, in 2001, and Fences, in 2010.
The last star to win the EGOT was Jennifer Hudson in 2022, after winning the Tony Award for co-producing the musical A Strange Loop.
