Huge! Jennifer Hudson Earns EGOT Status with Tony Awards Win

Published: Monday 13th Jun 2022 by Sam

Jennifer Hudson has done it!

The multi-hyphenate talent has earned coveted EGOT status after scoring a huge win at the Tony Awards 2022. 

Full story below…

The prestigious honor, which recognizes winning an Emmy, GRAMMY, Oscar, and a Tony – is a rarity. Indeed, Hudson becomes the 17th person ever to nab the title.

She managed the feat by way of her role as a producer on ‘A Strange Loop’ – which won the Best Musical award.

J.Hud joining the EGOT list is notable on a number of fronts.

At 40-years-old, she is the third youngest person to become an EGOT. She is also notably only the third Black person to land the honor, following Whoopi Goldberg and John Legend.

Hudson’s EGOT journey kicked off in 2007 when she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her now-iconic performance as Effie White in ‘Dreamgirls.’ She would go on to win her first of two GRAMMYs in 2009. Just last year, the diva was delivered her first Daytime Emmy Award as a producer on ‘Baba Yaga,’ and tonight (June 12) sealed her seismic spot in history with a Tony.

For some, Hudson’s Tony win as a producer at the Radio City Music Hall ceremony serves as justice of sorts after she didn’t receive a nomination in 2016 for her enchanting performance in ‘The Color Purple’ on Broadway.

In any case, J.Hud – who is set to launch her own daytime talk show in the Fall – has ample cause for celebration!

Congratulations!

    Congrats to Jennifer Hudson. Wow this is impressive !! Isn’t this what JLO wants?? Do y’all think she’s going to get to EGOT status? I wouldn’t know, but usually say never say never 🤷‍♂️

    I knew Beyoncé’s name would be mentioned lmfao. Beyonce will ALWAYS be more legendary and revered than this woman ever would. EGOT or not. Bey keeps y’all bothered. Celebrate y’all “girl” (who y’all don’t even support irl – Respect FLOPPED) and keep the icons names out of your mouth. Kthxbye

    • Kimye June 13, 2022

      This is the difference between a PAYOLA QUEEN and an ACTUAL QUEEN. Beyonce paid for her fame. She’ll be alright

    • Cabooty 11k June 13, 2022

      What’s an “IGOT”? And you spelled Camila wrong babe THATS the true flop troll

      • Shayla Queen™ 👑 June 13, 2022

        #1 album, 2 #1 singles – one of which is certified Diamond, say otherwise… And you will stay seething.

      • Cabooty 11k June 13, 2022

  12. Moose’s Wig June 13, 2022

    BeYAWNce is somewhere mad as hell. With her illiterate sounding, bad acting, song writing credits stealing a$$.

  13. If You Ain’t Know June 13, 2022

    She’s an EGOT winner who can’t sell movie tickets, can’t sell albums, can’t get good ratings and couldn’t get Tony nominated or cast in the motion picture of The Color Purple. She’s a four quadrant flop but I guess give her her flowers for failing upwards? Congrats.
