Composer Alan Menken is one of a handful of EGOT winners—he’s won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards (his work on 1989’s The Little Mermaid got him the G and O by itself). He also “won” a Razzie (given out for the worst movie performances), making him the only REGOT winner as of 2025. (Liza Minnelli is also a REGOT winner if her honorary Grammy counts.)
