John Legend, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice all achieved EGOT status at the
Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sunday for producing
Jesus Christ Superstar Live.
EGOT refers to a star who has won awards at the Emmys, the Grammys, the Oscars and the Tonys.
Legend, who played Jesus in NBC’s live production, is also nominated for outstanding actor in a limited series or movie, which will be announced during the primetime awards next week.
The 39-year-old has a whopping 10 Grammy Awards to his name and took home an Oscar in 2015 for his song “Glory” featured in
Selma. The singer also won a Tony in 2017 for his role as a co-producer for the production of
Jitney.
His wife
Chrissy Teigen celebrated Legend’s accomplishment on Twitter.
“EGOT GOATS,” she wrote alongside a photo of her husband, Webber and Rice.
