John Legend Just a Letter Away From Getting An EGOT

John Legend is making fire recently! He is currently only one letter away from an EGOT! Legend got a nod for actor in a limited series or movie for his work on the NBC special Jesus Christ Superstar: Live in Concert, giving him a shot at winning all four major entertainment honours: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony. The 39-year-old is joined on EGOT’s doorstep by fellow Jesus Christ Superstar nominees Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, who were executive producers. Lyricist Rice also wrote the book. The two have been Emmy-nominated in the past. In addition to Legend’s 10 Grammy Awards from 28 nominations, he won an original song Oscar in 2015 for Glory (from the film Selma) and a Tony in 2017 as a producer on Jitney, which took the award for best play revival. John has worked with some of Isina’s mentors in the past and we are waiting with fingers crossed for him to get the EGOT award!
