Elton John Earns EGOT Status

Elton John

Elton John won his first Emmy award in the Outstanding Variety Special category for “Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium.” This has earned him EGOT status – he’s now won an Emmy, six Grammys, two Oscars, and one Tony award. Only 18 other people have won all four awards, including John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Audrey Hepburn, and Rita Moreno. Elton was not at the Emmys to accept the award because he is recovering from knee surgery, but his husband and producer accepted on his behalf.
