Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet has already picked up a Golden Globe<\/a> earlier this month for his performance in Josh Safdie\u2019s<\/a> Marty Supreme, and he\u2019s the odds-on favorite to collect a Best Actor statuette for his work in that film at the Academy Awards in March.<\/p>\n

But if things break Chalamet\u2019s<\/a> way at the 2026 Grammy Awards<\/a> this Sunday, he could also move one step closer to another, even-more-elusive show-business honor\u2014the unofficial-yet-coveted elite-status grand slam known informally as the EGOT.<\/p>\n

That acronym, of course, is short for \u201cEmmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony.\u201d Depending on whether you count non-competitive awards (e.g., honorary Oscars and the like), there are either 21 or 27 people in the history of the entertainment business who\u2019ve reached EGOT status; the list of living EGOT-holders includes Mel Brooks, Elton John<\/a>, Whoopi Goldberg, Viola Davis.<\/a> and John Legend.<\/p>\n

This Hollywood Reporter story<\/a> identifies 60 other performers who as of last fall only needed one more show-business Infinity Gem to complete the quadfecta, including Common, Adele, and Cher, all of whom are a mere one Tony Award short of the goal. (As it turns out, so is Eminem, which means the 8 Mile musical is an idea whose time has come\u2014somebody call 8 Mile producer Brian Grazer, another Emmy\/Grammy\/Oscar winner who’s in need of a Tony.)<\/p>\n

Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, of course, has a longer road ahead of him before he can join Rita Moreno, Jennifer Hudson, and the ghost of John Gielgud in the performing arts\u2019 most exclusive completely-made-up club. Although he’s the youngest-ever three-time Academy Award nominee for Best Actor\u2014for Marty plus 2018\u2019s Call Me By Your Name and last year\u2019s A Complete Unknown\u2014he\u2019s 2 and 0 so far on actual Oscars, and he\u2019s yet to be nominated for an Emmy or a Tony.<\/p>\n

What Chalamet does have, as of right now, is a shot at the one award that would otherwise be kind of a reach for someone who\u2019s an actor by trade: a Grammy. Chalamet is up for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media this year for his recordings of 17 Bob Dylan<\/a> songs for the soundtrack to James Mangold\u2019s A Complete Unknown; if he wins, he\u2019ll share the honor with Mangold and soundtrack producers Nick Baxter and Steven Gizicki.<\/p>\n

As it happens, one of the last winners of this award was also an actor; Bradley Cooper<\/a> shared it with Gizicki, Yannick N\u00e9zet-S\u00e9guin & Jason Ruder for Maestro in 2025. Cooper has two of these things; he and Lady Gaga won for A Star is Born in 2020, and past co-winners include Don Cheadle, Hugh Jackman, and Joaquin Phoenix (who got his for his work on the soundtrack to another James Mangold music-legend biopic, 2007\u2019s Walk the Line.)<\/p>\n

Which is not to say that Timmy necessarily has this one in the bag just by virtue of being a big movie star. His competition in this category includes Ryan Coogler and Ludwig G\u00f6ransson\u2019s estimable Sinners soundtrack, the first Wicked soundtrack, the star-heavy F1 the Album, and the juggernaut that is KPop Demon Hunters, presumably the heavy favorite among 4-year-olds to whom even Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet is \u201csome old guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Yes, he\u2019s up for an award at the 2026 Grammys for his 2024 film A Complete Unknown, ten months after going to the Oscars as a nominee for that same movie, and competing against the soundtracks from several Oscar-nominated 2025 movies; yes, the Grammys\u2014whose eligibility window this year runs from August 2024 to August 2025\u2014are weird.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet has already picked up a Golden Globe earlier this month for his performance in Josh Safdie\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":444646,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[20524,49,48,569,75,51892,341,18744,1778,43425,343],"class_list":["post-444645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-bob-dylan","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-culture","tag-entertainment","tag-grammys","tag-music","tag-oscars","tag-textbelowcenterfullbleed","tag-timothee-chalamet","tag-web"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444645\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
