egot.

This is the abbreviation of the top four major art awards in the United States, namely the Emmy in the television industry, the Grammy in the music industry, the Oscar in the film industry and the Tony in the theater industry. Prizes (tony), so simply collectively referred to as "egot", are taken from the first capital letter of each award.

Although the four major awards all come from the United States, all the awards span the fields of television, music, film and drama, and the four major awards are also recognized as the highest awards in the American art industry, which also makes winning awards beyond imagination. , and even far surpassed the "acting grand slam", "directing grand slam", etc., the real thing is something that can be met but not sought after.

Therefore, not only in the United States, but on a global scale, any "egot" winner is also the pinnacle of history.

As of 2017, in the long history, only twelve artists have reached such heights, and only a handful of them have reached such heights:

Richard - Rodgers (richard-rodgers), Helen - Hayes (helen-hayes), Rita - Moreno (rita-moreno), John - Gielgud (john-gielgud), Audrey - Hepburn, Ma Marvin Hamlisch, Jonathan Tunick, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols, Whoopi Goldberg , Scott Rudin, Robert Lopez (robert-lopez).

Because the Grammy's music industry is involved in the four major awards, the "egot" winners are mostly composers; for actors, this is extremely difficult, they often can only choose audiobooks to hit the Grammys, The difficulty of winning awards can be imagined, so you can often see top actors. For "egot", they will specially record related audiobooks, hoping to collect awards.

By the way, Meryl Streep has five Grammy nominations -- four for audiobooks and one "Mamma Mia" soundtrack, but never wins; and one Tony nomination also misses out .

People often refer to Barbra Streisand, she is also the "egot" Grand Slam winner, but it is a weakened version, because the Tony Award she won is not a competition category, but a "Tony Special Award". However, even so, it is still very rare, because in terms of non-competition awards, there are only seventeen winners of "egot".

Among the twelve top Grand Slam winners, the youngest is composer Robert Lopez.

The Tony Award for "Avenue Q" in 2004, the Emmy Award for "Fantastic Pets" in 2008, the Grammy Award for "Book of Mormon" in 2012, and the Oscar for "Frozen" in 2013, before and after, Robert only used After ten years, when he was 38 years old, he collected all four "egot" awards. He not only became the youngest winner in film history, but also the winner with the shortest time.

Before Robert, the shortest time was Rita Moreno, which took 16 years.

It can be seen from all aspects, in addition to strength, egot's Grand Slam, the weather, the location, and the people are indispensable, and it is truly rare, which is becoming more and more precious and rare.

This time, Renly-Hall is expected to set the record by a large margin.

Even the record of turning the whole industry upside down.

If Renly can reach the top of the Tony Awards in 2013, he will become the youngest "egot" in film history under the age of 24; even more incredible is that it only cost him four Years, from the first Emmy Award in 2009, to 2013 has been qualified to shock.

A span of four years! Only twenty-three years old! egot!

Such historical records are not enough to describe people's shock and astonishment!

So, even though everyone knows that "egot" is about the Tony Awards, there are still two full months before the announcement of the Tony Award nominations, and now it's just the Oliver Awards; however, people still can't control their excitement and excitement. Excited, I started looking forward to and discussing it early—

Everyone clearly knows that "Les Miserables" is undoubtedly the strongest contender this year, and once Renly successfully reaches the top, the entire history will usher in a new page!

Even if it was just a possibility, it was enough to make people get carried away, cheered and excited.

The list of nominees for the Oliver Award also seems to prove this point. It continues to add fuel to the raging fire, and little by little, it pushes the expectation of hope to an unknown height. Youngest actor in Oscar history? The only winner in the long history to complete the egot Grand Slam in four years, so what?

What's more, Renly's performance this year is really too strong!

From the opening night of "Les Miserables", Renly was undoubtedly the strongest contender for the Oliver Award, at least in the West End. The highest praise has already established Renly's position in the industry and even in history. Such a rare sight has really happened, and it has continued to the stage of this year's Oliver Award nomination. .

Total Annihilation!

So, on top of this year's Oliver Awards, can Renly reach the top? Could a few other competitors pose enough of a threat? Because of the close connection between the Oliver Awards and the Tony Awards, the field of stage drama is a very small and very close circle, and the connection between the West End and Broadway is inextricably linked. Once "Les Miserables" is strongly crowned in the UK, then Does it mean that the North American mainland will continue to have such momentum?

In the competition for Best Actor in a Musical, Michael Ball of "Sweeney Todd", Tom Chambers of "Top Hat" and Will Young of "Karaoke" -young) and Renly Hall of Les Misérables, a total of four actors made it to the final trophy battle.

To the uninitiated, these seem to be several unfamiliar names, but in fact each has its own background.

Tom Chambers is a senior actor of BBC TV station. He can be said to be a versatile singer and dancer. He has been rolling on the West End stage for more than ten years. Opportunity, "high hat" has achieved his professional peak.

Will Young is the first champion of the "pop idol", the originator of the draft competition, and can be said to be the first draft champion in the world. "Karaoke" is a play full of distorted light and shadow, but his personal charm shines brightly.

There's also Michael Ball, who has a little bit of a close relationship with Renly - he played the first Marius in the Queen's version of "Les Miserables", and with that role He made a name for himself in the industry, and later in the tenth anniversary special edition, he also played the role of Marius.

He was only twenty-three years old when he first appeared on stage as Marius; now twenty-eight years later, Michael has become an indispensable pillar of the industry. "Story", "Hairspray" and other classics, and twice won the Oliver Award - and later, in 2015, he was awarded the British Empire Medal for his outstanding contribution to the drama.

The three candidates, each with their own merits, especially Michael Ball of "Sweeney Todd" is undoubtedly the biggest favorite to win the award.

But objectively speaking, from acting to word-of-mouth, from critics to feedback, Renly of "Les Miserables" is the best in this year's drama field, and it is difficult for other opponents to pose a threat.

The professional magazine "Stage" wrote an article early, saying that this will be a grand event that will witness Renly's strong ascent to the top, even if Michael is mature and mature, even if Tom is steady and steady, and even if Will is young and vigorous, they can't face Lanly. Lily poses an effective threat, and even in terms of quality and depth of performance, Renly's strong lead remains unshakable.

In other words, this is almost the moment when everyone witnesses the birth of history!

After the Oliver Awards, the Tony Awards are coming, does that mean that they will witness the arrival of a hurricane version of the storm, and then... the birth of a new king?

Now, the only obstacle and trouble is age.

Twenty-three years old, and will turn twenty-four in November this year. This is really too young for my wife. In the first half of her twenties, she has reached a height that countless people cannot reach in their entire lives. ok? In the long career years in the future, is it really good to enter the "Lifetime Achievement Award Mode" in advance?

The most direct example is Jodie Foster, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the age of fourteen, and has won the Oscar for Best Actress twice at the age of twenty-six. At the stage of "achievement", it seems that he can never surpass the peak of his youth, and now Renly is even younger than Judy!

The Oscars have already made history once, and it is a history that is almost impossible to replicate or touch, so is it necessary for the Oliver and Tony Awards to be so hasty?

As we all know, the theater industry is more cruel than the film industry. The requirements for qualifications, experience, precipitation, and accumulation are so strict that outsiders can't imagine it. When I was young, the elimination rate was very high, but after the initial stage, the stage The professional vitality of actors is longer and more vigorous. Especially for male actors, the peak period often comes around the age of forty.

Renly Hall, not only is young, but also has limited experience. "Les Miserables" is only his first starring stage play. For professionals in the field of drama, it is really too immature and too young. , in comparison, Michael - Ball is obviously a more sensible and more appropriate choice.

Although there is no "academy PR" above the Oliver Awards, the industry rules exist by default, and they are stricter than the film industry. , there are still many variables at the awards ceremony - Renly is still young, there is still opportunity, and there is still possibility.

So, what are the odds of Renly challenging egot's Grand Slam?

Before the Tony Awards, the Oliver Awards were an outpost, but until the awards are revealed, anything is possible!
