Who Will Win an EGOT Next? Movieline Ranks the Top 5 Candidates
2. Jeremy Irons
E: Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries, Elizabeth I
G: N/A
O: Best Actor, Reversal of Fortune
T: Best Actor, The Real Thing
Excuse me: When book-reading is a Grammy category, you'd think effing Jeremy Irons would snag a trophy for one of his countless audiobooks -- Brideshead Revisited, The Alchemist, Lolita, etc. The time has come for a massive anthology of his readings called While the Irons is Hot, featuring additional commentary by Scar from The Lion King. There the EGOT lies.
Suggested role: The Complete Works of Kipling.

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!
