Actors and actresses of Hollywood who were considered worthy of the "Grammy" award

The 67th Grammy Awards ceremony took place on February 3. Traditionally, this award is presented for achievements in the field of music.

However, the award has already expanded its scope and recognizes winners in other related fields, including the best audiobook reading or stand-up concert recording.

Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx is a versatile artist who works in the fields of film, music and stand-up comedy. His latest performance, What Had Happened Was..., is about the star's emergency hospitalization two years ago.

Although the American media constantly reported that the actor was in a very serious condition, he remained silent and gave almost no comments on the incident. He spoke about this in detail and with his own humor in his performance.

However, it was not comedy, but music, that brought him the Grammy Award. In 2010, she won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for the track "Blame It" with rapper T-Pain.

This is reportedly Fox's only Grammy, and she has been nominated for this award nine times in total.

Whoopi Goldberg

Goldberg is one of 27 artists to have received the prestigious and highest title, known as the EGOT. This means that among her awards are an Emmy for television, a Grammy for music, an Oscar for film and a Tony for theater - this is an absolute achievement and an unimaginable peak for any artist.

The actress won an Oscar for her supporting role in the drama "Spirit". She received two Emmy Awards for her role as the host of the talk show "The View" and for her work on the documentary "Beyond Tara: The Extraordinary Life of Hattie McDaniel".

Goldberg won a Tony Award for her role in the musical "Very Modern Millie". The actress also won a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album for "Whoopi Gold: Original Broadway Show Recording".

Carrie Fisher

In 2016, the “Star Wars” star released her memoir, “The Diarist Princess.” In the book, the actress tells the story of her life during the filming of the first part of George Lucas’s space franchise.

The title of the book hints at this, since she played the role of Princess Leia there. In the pages of her book, Fisher talked about how she got into the project, her short-lived romance with her co-star Harrison Ford, and how her life was outside the set of the famous project.

In 2017, posthumously (the actress died on December 27, 2016), she won a Grammy Award for the audio version of her autobiography, which she personally recorded in the form of an audiobook.

Patrick Stewart


The “X-Men” star has numerous awards and even more nominations to his credit, including three Grammy nominations and one win.

The actor was nominated in 1993 for an audio version of Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol,” which he himself read, and in 2001 for an audio collection of “The Complete Shakespearean Sonnets,” but failed to win.

However, in 1996, she won the Best Children's Album award. Stewart won the award for her recording of Sergei Prokofiev's symphonic fairy tale "Peter and the Wolf."

Kate Winslet

Winslet also came very close to joining the ranks of those who achieved the status of EGOT. The British actress is only missing a Tony Award.

On the other hand, it is impossible not to admire the list of his awards and nominations: he managed to win an Oscar for the film "The Reader", two Emmys for the mini-series "Mildred Pierce" and the detective "The Mayor of Easttown", as well as a Grammy, which he won at the beginning of his career - in 2000. The statuette brought him his work on the children's audio collection "Listen to the Storyteller", recorded immediately after the film "Titanic".

Joaquin Phoenix

Phoenix sang on screen long before the second film "Joker" suddenly became a musical. In 2005, the actor starred in the musical biopic "Crossing the Line," about country music legend Johnny Cash. This role brought him many prestigious nominations and awards, including the Golden Globe and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.

But the most unexpected of them was the Grammy Award. This award was given to him in the difficult category called “Best Original Score for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media” for his personal performance of Kesh’s songs.

Incidentally, a few years later, Bradley Cooper also won the same award in the same category for creating the soundtrack for his directorial musical drama “A Star is Born.” He shared this award with Lady Gaga and a group of other authors.

Rashida Jones

The star of the series "The Office" is the daughter of the late, famous composer and music producer Quincy Jones. Quincy Jones has had an amazing career and was awarded the title of EGOT in 2016.

Her achievements include nearly 30 Grammy Awards, an Emmy Award for the mini-series "Roots", a Tony Award for producing the 2016 play "Pink Wildflowers", and the Jean Hersholt Award - an honorary Oscar for outstanding humanitarian work.

His daughter, Rashida Jones, also started her career in music — for example, she participated in the recording of the first studio album of the group Maroon 5 as a backup singer. However, Rashida won her Grammy Award in another field: in 2018, she co-directed, co-wrote and co-produced the documentary film about her father for Netflix called “Quincy”. The project won in the nomination “Best Musical”.

Robin Williams

The famous comedian and tragedian was nominated for seven Grammy Awards during his long career, winning five of them. In 1980, Williams was named Best New Artist for his stand-up comedy solo performance "Reality... What a Concept." In 1984, he won an award for his third stand-up comedy, the audio version of "A Night at the Met." A year later, he won a fourth statuette for his narrating of the children's book "Pecos Bill." Finally, in 2003, the actor won his anniversary Grammy in the category "Best Comedy Recording" for the audio version of the concert "Robin Williams Live." Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
