Among the provided Tony Awards nominees, Audra McDonald stands out as being the closest to achieving this rare feat; already one of the most decorated performers in Tony history with six wins, she also boasts two Grammy Awards and one Emmy Award, needing only an Oscar to complete her EGOT . While other nominees like George Clooney (who has two Oscars and a Daytime Emmy) and Darren Criss (with a Primetime Emmy) would move a step closer to EGOT status with a Tony win, they would still require additional awards in other categories.
