Who Will Win an EGOT Next? Movieline Ranks the Top 5 Candidates
1. Elton John
E: N/A
G: Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, "That's What Friends Are For" (and five others)
O: Best Original Song, "Can You Feel The Love Tonight"
T: Best Original Score, Aida
Can't Elton John book an Emmy-winning TV concert with about three days notice? I notice Carrie Underwood gets her own Thanksgiving special when she pleases (sometimes even near Easter), so why can't Elton John rack up another Las Vegas spectacle and fulfill this tantalizingly unfinished EGOT? Surely he's not working on a sequel to Gnomeo and Juliet.
Suggested role: Elton John's Folsom Prison Blues, Yellows, and Pinks! Live!

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!
