June 13, 2022 8:07AM EDT
Congrats to our girl Jennifer Hudson! She became an EGOT on Sunday night and is one of only 17 other entertainers in the history of Hollywood to have done so.
Hudson’s last qualifying award came at the Tony Awards in 2022, when she co-produced A Strange Loop, which won Best Musical.
Additionally, J-Hud is only the second Black woman and third African American to win an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award. Yasss Sis!
Whoopi Goldberg got the award first in 2002, then John Legend got it in 2018. Hudson is also the first contestant from American Idol to be named an EGOT.
