Cynthia Erivo's nomination for Best Actress at the 2025 Oscars positions her on the brink of EGOT status, which combines Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony wins. Currently at 38 years old, she is just an Oscar away from becoming the youngest EGOT winner, surpassing Robert Lopez. She previously failed to secure an EGOT in 2020 when nominated for Harriet. The 2025 Oscars also feature ten nominations for Wicked, including one for Ariana Grande, marking her first Oscar nomination while also exploring her path to EGOT.
Erivo currently has a single Emmy Award, Grammy Award, and Tony Award, all for her role in the 2015 Broadway revival of musical The Colour Purple.
Cynthia Erivo almost reached EGOT status in 2020, after she was nominated in both the Best Actress and Best Original Song categories for 2019 film Harriet.
The 2025 Oscars could see history made for the trans community, with Emilia Pérez standing as a significant nominee.
If Cynthia Erivo secures the Oscar, she will become the youngest EGOT holder in history, unseating Robert Lopez.
