Who Will Win an EGOT Next? Movieline Ranks the Top 5 Candidates
4. Julie Andrews
E: Best Actress in a Single Performance -- Lead or Support, Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella
G: Best Children's Album, Mary Poppins (among others)
O: Best Actress, Mary Poppins
T: N/A
Yes, the first lady of musical theater doesn't have a Tony Award -- but that's probably not a big deal to her. Andrews refused a third nomination for her role in the '90s Broadway revamp of Victor/Victoria because the musical itself received no other nominations. That won't stop her from eventually picking up a lifetime achievement trophy, but it could open the door for other performers to beat her to holy quad first.
Suggested role: Henrietta Higgins in a modern-day gender-reversed My Fair Lad(y) .

Bat Masterson? That should be Sky.
Oh, you are so right. Thank you.
I have to beg to differ about Robin Williams playing the same characters all the time. He most certainly does not. Watch Awakenings, Good Will Hunting and Mrs. Doubtfire, and then try to make that argument again. Is he a manic goofball? Yes. Does he do it in every single performance? No.
Rita Moreno
My money is on Kate Winslet. Already has a Grammy (Best spoken word album. Was this catagory made just so actors could win Grammys?) and an Oscar. Will surely get the Emmy this year for Mildred Pierce. That just leaves a Tony which I'm sure is in her sights.
I actually think Marcia Gay Harden is close ... if Cynthia Nixon can get a Grammy, so can she, and really, an Emmy is within anyone's reach ... she's won the ones that are hard to get
why stop at four? who is the next PEGOT? Or PENGOT? (Pulitzer and Nobel).
Should be TEGOR (Tony, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Razzie)...Go Sandy!
CATEGOE- Cable Ace, Tony, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Eurovision songwriting contest. Go... Bill Maher?
RANDY NEWMAN - for "Pixar on Stage" in 2014
You know who's tantalizingly close to an EGOT? Documentarian Alex Gibney. I think he has an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, and just lacks a Tony... shame nothing happened with Enron the Musical!
