In addition to her recent Tony win, Hudson received a Daytime Emmy for serving as an executive producer on Baby Yaga (Outstanding Interactive Media for a Daytime Program), an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in Dreamgirls and two Grammy awards for her debut studio album (Best R&B Album) and The Color Purple (Best Musical Theater Album).
Back in 2020, when Hudson was just two steps away from joining the grand slam of show business, she jokingly told People that her pet dogs, better known as her "good luck charms," would help her reach EGOT status.
"I should get two more dogs," she began. "I got a dog and named it Oscar, and then I won my Oscar. And then I got a dog and named it Grammy, and then I won my Grammy. So, I think I should get some dogs and name them Emmy and Tony—and it’ll give me good luck, and I’ll win. [They’re] like my good luck charms.”
Fast-forward to 2022, and the 40-year-old star is not only part of the elite club, but she's also following in Oprah's footsteps with her upcoming talkshow.
Talk about a well-deserved win!
