A Strange Loop wins Best Musical at the 75th Tony Awards, meaning its producers, including Jennifer Hudson and RuPaul, are now Tony winners!

This means that JHud has now achieved EGOT status, becoming the 17th person to achieve this (all in competitive categories/no honorary awards).

 

• Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actress - Dreamgirls
• Grammy Awards, Best R&B Album - Jennifer Hudson
• Grammy Awards, Best Musical Theater Album - The Color Purple
• Daytime Emmy Awards, Outstanding Interactive Media for a Daytime Program - Baba Yaga
• Tony Awards, Best Musical - A Strange Loop

 

RuPaul adds a Tony to his historic 11 Primetime Emmy Awards (the most Emmy wins for any Black individual). Some other producers who won for this musical are Ilana Glazer, Mindy Kailing & Don Cheadle (first-time winners) and previous Tony winners Billy Porter & Alan Cumming.

 

Ilana! Mindy! Don!  

[professor2000]

But anyways, congrats to Jennifer!

[Scorp]

The way she became one of the biggest legends of all time. So damn proud of her. I guess the conspiracy theory posts are gonna start poppin back up about her again

Sorry.

 

 

Her EMMY is also a production credit.  So 50% of her EGOT is due to writing checks.

i looked it up. the only other person who's at least half from producing is scott rudin. though he was in a smaller group for his:

Oscar 3 producers 

Emmy 4 producers

Grammy 6 producers

[Mtjjproducer]

the way she went from losing American Idol to being an egot. she is the most successful from that show overall

Not everyone and their mother latching on to this project

[Park Jinyoung]

Second black woman after Woopy, right?  legends

[Aribiotch]

Certain users trying to discredit a black woman is so disgusting but then again are we surprised? Earning the highest status in entertainment and yet still trying to dim her light. Go to hell

 

OT: Congratulations to this legend! Well deserved

Adam Lambert performs sold out stadium tours, Kelly Clarkson is the Queen of Media and Carrie Underwood carried country for a decade. She's definitely top 5 with Fantasia rounding out the list tho.

This talented queen

Congrats Queen! 

 

Certain someone must be pressed. 
 

Imagine how absolutely miserable your life has to be to be this obsessively hating of somebody who will never know you exist 

 

OT: Congrats to JHud  her story and rise in Hollywood is so inspirational. She did THAT 

[Armani?]

Idk why I expected the award to be for the Aretha movie lol

[shelven]

The fact that A Strange Loop had like 20 celebrity producers because they knew it was a near-lock to win Best Musical is kinda a kii, but congrats to Jennifer! She deserves the EGOT status even if this particular win is a bit of an odd way to get it.

[Pheromosa]

good for her but idk what most of these things even are 

[chiliam]

Her Oscar and Grammys are legit.

But that daytime Emmy is a bit random, and a producer Tony is not that big consider she shares it with like 5 other people.

 

Anyway with her talent i think she can snatch an acting Tony/ Emmy in the future. She has been nominated for an acting Tony before so its not a far stretch.

[Johnny Jacobs]

Wow 

 

She's the youngest too no?
