As award season draws to a close, remember which celebrities have already won an EGOT.

Last week, the red carpet season concluded with the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/every-look-2021-oscars-red-carpet-academy-awards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 Academy Awards</a>. While many of your favorite singers and actors celebrated their first big wins, other added their new awards to a growing collection of honors.
When an artist wins the top four American entertainment awards, it's called an EGOT (Emmy, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/2021-grammy-awards-red-carpet-dua-lipa-megan-thee-stallion-best-dressed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grammy</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/every-look-2021-oscars-red-carpet-academy-awards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oscar</a>, Tony) or GATE (Grammy, Academy, Tony, Emmy). Each ceremony honors the achievements of the stars in film, television, music, and theater. While no one managed to earn one this year, many noted that H.E.R.'s <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/2021-oscar-winners-list-academy-awards" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oscar win</a> put her halfway there with now both an Oscar and a Grammy.
