Eugene Alvin Villar 🇵🇭I learned that <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/PasekAndPaul" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PasekAndPaul</a> recently achieved their <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/EGOT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#EGOT</a> status with an <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/Emmys" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Emmys</a> win for writing a song for Only Murders in the Building. Well deserved win!(And they beat Lin-Manuel Miranda who is still waiting to get an Oscar.)<a href="https://variety.com/2024/artisans/news/songwriters-benj-pasek-and-justin-paul-achieve-egot-status-with-emmys-win-creative-arts-1236130128/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://variety.com/2024/artisans/news/songwriters-benj-pasek-and-justin-paul-achieve-egot-status-with-emmys-win-creative-arts-1236130128/</a>

Nonilex<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/JamesEarlJones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JamesEarlJones</a>, then 14, was shocked at the sudden confidence in his voice. “The written word is safe for the stutterer,” he later observed. “The script is a sanctuary.”In a career spanning 7 decades, Jones amassed hundreds of credits on the stage & screen, earning admiration for the humanity & charisma he brought to even the most wounded characters. He belonged to the rarefied cadre of performers who received Tony, Emmy, Grammy & Academy [<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/EGOT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EGOT</a>] awards.

Flipboard Culture DeskWe've heard a lot over the past few years about EGOT winners — the 19 people who've won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. But this was new to us: The PEGOT — an EGOT, plus a Peabody Award. At the weekend, Mel Brooks became the fourth PEGOT winner after Barbra Streisand, Rita Moreno and Mike Nichols. He told the audience: “When they said, ‘You’ve won a Peabody Award,’ I said, ‘Oh, no s**t.’ I thought maybe it was for being the best-looking guy in show business." Here's more from the Hollywood Reporter.<a href="https://flip.it/WU6rvi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://flip.it/WU6rvi</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Hollywood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hollywood</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/MelBrooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MelBrooks</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Entertainment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Entertainment</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/EGOT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EGOT</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/PeabodyAwards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeabodyAwards</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/PEGOT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PEGOT</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Movies</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Cinema" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cinema</a>

Larry RusswurmI never heard of the EGOT till the TV show 30 Rock. But I’ve heard of it multiple places since so I think it snuck into the vernacular since then. It is an acronym of the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards, the so called ultimate in American awards sweeping. Only 19 people have one including Whoopi Goldberg and Elton John.But one of these awards ain’t kind of the same. One of the awards is different. As you might guess from my title, I would kick the weak sister of these four awards to the curb. I would get rid of the Tony awards. No it’s not a a lack of respect to the live theatre. It’s quite simply the fact that the Tony award is way too local and not fair to other parts of America.I’ve been trying to find if other productions not in New York City are eligible for Tonys and I can’t find it said definitively. Perhaps someone with better google fu can find it for me. I thought the following was definitive for the last couple days then read it again today and realize it’s not either. It says: “Legitimate theatrical productions opening in any of the 41 eligible Broadway theatres during the current season may be considered for Tony nominations.” I just realized that there may be other, non Broadway theatres that are eligible.I think the Tony awards are being deliberately vague because they don’t want it known that they are very local awards. New York is not nearly the dominant city it once was. It’s easy to imagine a Los Angeles or Chicago or San Francisco or Boston being able to support 1 or a number of live theatres that are as good as those 41 eligible Broadway ones.Besides, there’s something fulfilling about saying these performance greats are EGO winners, with each letter capitalized. It just fits, you know. Isn’t performing all about the EGO.<a href="https://larryrusswurm.com/2024/05/25/ego/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://larryrusswurm.com/2024/05/25/ego/</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/30-rock/" target="_blank">#30Rock</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/boston/" target="_blank">#Boston</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/broadway/" target="_blank">#Broadway</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/chicago/" target="_blank">#Chicago</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/ego/" target="_blank">#EGO</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/egot/" target="_blank">#EGOT</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/elton-john/" target="_blank">#EltonJohn</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/emmy/" target="_blank">#Emmy</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/grammy/" target="_blank">#Grammy</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/live-thatre/" target="_blank">#liveThatre</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/los-angeles/" target="_blank">#LosAngeles</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/new-york-city/" target="_blank">#NewYorkCity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/oscar/" target="_blank">#Oscar</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/performance-art/" target="_blank">#performanceArt</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/san-francisco/" target="_blank">#SanFrancisco</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/tony/" target="_blank">#Tony</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/tony-award-too-local/" target="_blank">#TonyAwardTooLocal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://larryrusswurm.com/tag/whoopi-goldberg/" target="_blank">#WhoopiGoldberg</a>
