Alright folks, buckle up because awards season is here, and the Oscars are just around the corner. While most people think winning an Academy Award is the pinnacle of success, there's an even bigger challenge in Hollywood: becoming an EGOT winner. Now, what’s an EGOT, you ask? It’s when someone wins an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony — all the biggies. Only a dozen stars, including legends like Whoopi Goldberg and Audrey Hepburn, have achieved this incredible feat. So, could Meryl Streep, one of the most celebrated actresses of our time, be the next to join this exclusive club?
Let’s break it down. Meryl Streep, at 68 years old, has been nominated for an Oscar a staggering 21 times — more than any other actor in history. And guess what? She’s walked away with the golden statue three times. This year, she’s up for Best Actress for her role in The Post, starring alongside the legendary Tom Hanks. That’s just the Oscars, though. Meryl’s achievements don’t stop there.

When it comes to the Golden Globes, Meryl is a force to be reckoned with. She’s been nominated a whopping 31 times and has taken home the prize eight times. Talk about consistency! And then there are the Emmys. Meryl isn’t just an actress; she’s practically a powerhouse. She’s been nominated four times for Emmys and has won three of them. That’s right, three out of four — almost unstoppable!

Now, while Meryl is a household name for her acting prowess, she’s also well-versed in the world of musical theater. But here’s the thing — she hasn’t quite cracked the Tony or Grammy categories yet. Meryl has been part of several stage productions, including Henry V and The Taming of the Shrew. Back in 1976, she was nominated for a Tony for Best Featured Actress in a Play for 27 Wagons Full of Cotton, but unfortunately, she lost to Shirley Knight. When it comes to Grammys, Meryl has lent her voice to several nominated albums, like Mamma Mia! and The Tale of Peter Rabbit. So, while she hasn’t won a Grammy yet, her talent in the music world is undeniable.
What’s Next for Meryl?
Meryl’s career is far from over. In fact, it’s just getting more exciting. She’s set to return for the second season of the Emmy-winning drama Big Little Lies, and the sequel to Mamma Mia! is hitting theaters this summer. With her continued excellence and the projects she’s lined up, it’s only a matter of time before she adds those last two awards to her collection. We’re all rooting for you, Meryl!
