With an impressive list of wins to his name — including two Oscars and three Grammys for 1991's Beauty and the Beast — Menken completed his EGOT status in 2012, earning a Tony for Newsies. The big title became a little more official recently, though; while he earned a special Emmy Award in 1990, he won an Emmy for outstanding original song in a children's, young adult or animated program for Tangled: The Series at the 2020 Daytime Emmy Awards.

Legend cemented his status in 2018 at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards for producing Jesus Christ Superstar Live. The then-39-year-old already had 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.

In an Instagram post honoring his fellow winners (and fellow newly minted EGOTs) Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, he wrote, "So happy to be part of this team. So honored they trusted me to play Jesus Christ. So amazed to be in such rarefied air. #EGOT"

And as if he weren't decorated enough, the star - who also won the 2019 season of The Voice — was crowned PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive in 2019, leading Blake Shelton to deliver him a pair of bedazzled booty shorts reading "VEGOTSMA."

Tied with Mike Nichols for being an EGOT-holder with the most awards (14) in the four categories, the producer recieved his fourth distinction in 2012 — earning a Grammy for best musical theater album for The Book of Mormon: Original Broadway Cast Recording. In 2021, several former staffers came forward accusing Rudin of abusive behavior; he stepped back from ongoing entertainment projects as a result.
