It's been 10 years since anyone joined the pantheon of people who've won the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony), but now Scott Rudin is among the immortals who include Mel Brooks, John Gielgud, Whoopi Goldberg, Marvin Hamlisch, Helen Hayes, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno, Mike Nichols, Richard Rodgers and Jonathan Tunick.

Rudin just won a Grammy for producing Best Musical Theater Album ("Book of Mormon"). Previously, Rudin won a Tony for producing Best Musical "Book of Mormon" on Broadway in addition to Tonys for "The History Boys" (Best Play, 2006), "Doubt" (Best Play, 2005), "The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?" (Best Play 2002), "Copenhagen" (Best Play, 2000) and "Passion" (Best Musical, 1994).

He won an Oscar for producing Best Picture "No Country for Old Men" (2007) and an Emmy for Best Children's Program "He Makes Me Feel Like Dancing" (1984).
