The singer-songwriter has won an Oscar for best original song in 2015 for "Glory" and a Tony for producing the Vroadway musical "Jitney." He has a whopping 36 Grammy nominations and 12 wins.
The lyricist behind "Jesus Christ Superstar" also earned his EGOT in 2018 when the live version of the musical won an Emmy. Rice, a collaborator of Elton John and Alan Menken, is behind musicals like "Evita," "Aladdin," "Aida," and "The Lion King," which helped him earn the majority of this other awards.
Webber is yet another person who completed his EGOT thanks to the live "Jesus Christ Superstar" in 2018. Webber has also won awards for composing the music for the movie musical "Evita," and has been recognized for works like "Cats" and "Phantom of the Opera."
Earning an Oscar at 39 years old in 2014 made Lopez the youngest EGOT winner to date. The songwriter cinched two Oscars for "Frozen" that year, and has won awards for his work on other musicals like "The Book of Mormon."
The producer has won an Academy Award, an Emmy, a Grammy and a total of 18 Tony Awards. He is best known for producing films like "No Country for Old Men" and Broadway shows like "Doubt," "Book of Mormon," "Hello, Dolly!" and "A Raisin in the Sun."
