Viola Davis has officially achieved EGOT status after winning best audiobook, narration, and storytelling recording at the 2023 Grammys.
EGOT, widely seen as the ultimate achievement in Hollywood, is shorthand for a person who's won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony.
Davis won a Grammy on Sunday for narrating the audiobook for her memoir, "Finding Me."
The 57-year-old star previously won an Emmy in 2015 (outstanding lead actress in a drama series for "How to Get Away With Murder"), an Oscar in 2017 (best supporting actress for "Fences"), and two Tony Awards: one in 2001 (best featured actress in a play for "King Hedley II") and another in 2010 (best leading actress in a play for "Fences").
She joins an elite group of 17 (now 18) EGOT winners throughout history that includes Audrey Hepburn, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Jennifer Hudson.

"I wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola, to honor her life, her joy, her trauma, everything," Davis began in her acceptance speech during the pre-show ceremony. "And it has just been such a journey. I just EGOT!"
The 65th annual Grammy Awards are taking place live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
