‘Viola Davis’ Grammy Win for Audiobook Makes Her an EGOT

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Viola Davis has earned EGOT status.

The actor on Sunday won the Grammy Award for Best Audio Book, Narration and Storytelling Recording for his memoir “Finding Me”.

EGOT is the term for the rare person who has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award during their career.

The actor said in his acceptance speech that he wrote the book for his 6-year-old self, “to honor her, her life, her happiness, her trauma, everything.”

Davis’ fellow nominees this year included Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jamie Foxx and Mel Brooks, one of the other 17 members of the EGOT Club.
