	DAMN! How could I forget Rita Moreno? I've watched West Side Story a ton.

	Smacking myself for missing the one from Arthur.

	eln77:	May 31st, 2009 at 05:23 GMT	24 points
	Man, so close...all I need is 4 more awards to make this list.

	drn211:	May 31st, 2009 at 06:04 GMT	17 points
	Should include Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Streisand, Liza Minnelli and Andrew Lloyd-Webber as bonus answers. The 4 people who did it but with a non-primetime emmy (daytime or international) or a non competive/special award.

	I've noticed Sporcle's been including common misspellings lately. For example, I typed Rogers, and it was accepted. I wonder if this will ever apply to Kyrgyzstan in future geog. quizzes.

@ banutzu - they have that one - http://www.sporcle.com/games/cannesdorprize.php

	Yea for taking the 'common' misspellings. I would have never gotten Marvin H without it!

	milkmeister:	May 31st, 2009 at 16:46 GMT	-3 points
	@MickeyM2: I agree, it's a quiz not a spelling contest.

	Goofball:	May 31st, 2009 at 21:41 GMT	-2 points
	I think Liza Minnelli should be on this list! Clue: actress in Cabaret.

	SamE1331:	Jun 1st, 2009 at 04:09 GMT	-4 points
	Bob Fosse should be on this list. he is the only person in history to win an oscar (cabaret), tony (pippin - direction and choreography), and emmy (liza with a Z) in the same year. pretty impressive. im not sure why the grammys are included in this list. that sort of cuts out alot of outstanding artists.

	zalagreensbury:	Jun 1st, 2009 at 16:28 GMT	1 point
	No Barbra Streisand?

	Statto2:	Jun 1st, 2009 at 21:19 GMT	-1 points
	@zalegreensbury - I don't think she's done much TV!

	Kicking222:	Jun 1st, 2009 at 23:14 GMT	2 points
	Hey all, sorry I missed this quiz going live, but I hope everyone enjoyed it. It's a really interesting topic, and I like this quiz a lot- it's one of those that I wish had existed before I started making quizzes, but I'm glad to have done the honors. As far as spelling is concerned, I have no idea what everyone else does in making quizzes (i.e. whether they include spelling errors or not). I personally try to include really common ones (i.e. Rogers), and the Sporcle gods are clearly OK with that.

	Actually, Steisand has won 4 prime time Emmys, three for performance in a musical/variety special, and one for producing one of those specials.

	zalagreensbury:	Jun 2nd, 2009 at 11:00 GMT	1 point
	thank you ripcity.

	The clues and the years made it rather confusing... and the time limit was considerably short considering this is a type of quiz people need to rack their brains on, rather than being top of the head answers.

	roseaddams:	Sep 16th, 2009 at 01:34 GMT	2 points
	Barbra Streisand actually doesn't have a competitive Tony Award. She was nominated twice, for "I Can Get It For You Wholesale" and "Funny Girl". I'm a little bummed Jonathan Tunick isn't getting more love -- he's written some of the greatest charts for Broadway scores, including the original orchestrations for Sweeney Todd (and also the film version).

	EssEmmBee:	Sep 18th, 2009 at 09:44 GMT	1 point
	Whoopi should be on this list. She has all four. Streisand and Minelli won non-competitive awards, which the quiz rules said dont count.

	roseaddams:	Sep 21st, 2009 at 01:12 GMT	3 points
	Actually, Whoopi has a Daytime Emmy. Two, actually. Not a primetime. Which wouldn't be such a big deal except the quiz specifies 'Primetime Emmy' in the title.

	ZZZZ:	Oct 30th, 2010 at 22:14 GMT	1 point
	Cynthia Nixon is close. She just needs the Oscar.

	ZZZZ:	Oct 30th, 2010 at 22:15 GMT	1 point
	And Robin Williams needs the Tony.

	EGOT! :)

	okonheim:	Feb 22nd, 2011 at 14:43 GMT	1 point
	i'd like to see this quiz expanded into the people who have 3 of four. with all do respect to the quiz master, i don't see why non competitive shouldn't count also, burt bacharach has all four, i heard someone saying he technical awards in all four

	Philip Michael Thomas needs to be a bonus! http://bit.ly/hwBMae

	Jonathan Tunick is not the composer, he's the orchestrator/arranger of others' compositions.
