• The ultimate achievement in Hollywood is achieving an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony, also referred to as an EGOT.
• There are 16 actors, producers, directors, and composers who have been awarded all four, and one person (Robert Lopez) is a double EGOT winner.

The ultimate achievement for entertainers isn't just an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, or Tony. It's all four.

Only a handful of stars have won all four of the industry's top awards, a feat popularly known by the acronym EGOT.

The term apparently came from "Miami Vice" actor Philip Michael Thomas, who used to wear a gold medallion bearing all four letters. He often publicly professed his desire to win the four awards, but hasn't been nominated for a single one, according to the New York Post.

But 16 actors, producers, directors, and composers have achieved the feat, and one person has even won all four EGOT awards twice. Here's a complete list of every winner so far.
