Jennifer Hudson made history Sunday night. The “Respect” star joined the elite EGOT club. An EGOT is an artist who has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and a Tony Award in their career.
Hudson already had an Emmy, Grammy and Oscar and on Sunday she won a Tony, thanks to her role as a co-producer of “A Strange Loop” which won for best musical.
Hudson won a 2007 best supporting actress Oscar for her role in Dreamgirls, two Grammys (best R&B album in 2009 and best musical theater album for the musical The Color Purple in 2017), and last year she snagged a Daytime Emmy for the animated short Baba Yag, which she helped voice and co-produced.
There are now 17 EGOT winners.
