There is no greater accomplishment in Hollywood than winning an Oscar.

Oh wait? Yes there is! Winning an Oscar… and an Emmy… AND a Tony… AND A Grammy!

Not as easy a feat to accomplish (right Tracey Jordan?), but there are a handful of mega-talented Hollywood heavyweights who've managed to accomplish it.

Shout out to WHOOPI, WHOOP!

But you know, there are quite of few celebs who are literally thisclose to acquiring EGOT status… and they may not be exactly who you think!

So, who are these multi-talented, acclaimed persons of interest? Well, let's take a look!

We can literally hear it in her head as she walked onto the Oscars stage last night to accept her award for "Best Original Song!"

"Two down, two to go…"

And hot damn, does Adele deserve the distinction of having an EGOT, or what?!

The supremely talented singer has apparently now landed enough accolades for her contributions to the entertainment industry that she has her sights set on the much-sought-after quartet of statues, as she was overheard telling journalists in the Oscar press room that in order to secure the remaining Emmy and Tony Awards:

What?! Noooooo!

Producers behind the 2013 Tony Awards are considering asking the beautifully brilliant Bette Midler to co-host the show with the ah-mazingly iconic Barry Manilow, but there is a huge hitch!

And we don't mean the match-maker played by Will Smith!

The two legendary entertainers apparently HATE each other!

See, Barry started out as Bette's piano man, but the Mandy singer quickly escaped his humble beginnings and — with 80 million album sales beneath his belt — eventually outsold his former boss!

Bette didn't waste away by the wayside, but she apparently holds a grudge!

The Wind Beneath My Wings songstress wouldn't even attend his Manilow on Broadway opening!

Aww! We love Bette & Barry more than we love oxygen and chocolate milk, but the Tonys are bigger than these two stage legends!

We will not have them sullied!

Get it together, you two! The world is counting on you!

The show must go on!

Well, pierce our perineum and call us Petunia!

Scarlett Johansson strutted her stuff on stage — fully clothed, pervs! — last night and her audience ADORED her!

In fact, the packed NYC house treated the Cat on a Hot Tin Roof star to a standing ovation during the curtain call of the show's opening night!

Meeeeowwww!

The Tony Award winning actress plays Maggie in a performance that earned mixed reviews.

But don't expect to see the Audrey Hepburn movie or the sh*teous musical version that flopped back in the day!

Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Richard Greenberg has announced that he is prepping the release of his ALL-NEW adaptation of the classic Truman Capote novella Breakfast at Tiffany's for the Broadway stage, which will star Game of Thrones actress - and potential Anastasia Steele - Emilia Clarke as the iconic Holly Golightly and begin performances at Shubert theater in February 2013!

And when we say all-new, we mean it!

He's ignoring all of the adaptations that have been released prior and relying strictly on the original text!

Is it just us, or are autumn weddings BIG in Hollywood this year?

Former Private Practice actress Audra McDonald, who also won a Tony this year for her appearance in the revival of Porgy and Bess, can now add wife to her list of accomplishments, and she and Will Swenson tied the knot last night at a ceremony at their home in Croton-on Hudson!

The pair, who
