The actress won for the best audiobook narration and storytelling recording award for her memoir, “Finding Me,” at thepremiere ceremony ahead of the main awards program. Davis now joins the list as the 18th member of the EGOT club, uniting with Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Legend, Mike Nichols, Mel Brooks, Jennifer Hudson, Whoopi Goldberg and others.
The win follows her Emmy achievement for the 2015 series “How to Get Away With Murder,” a Tony for her 2001 performance in “King Hedley” and “Fences” in 2010, as well as an Oscar for “Fences” in 2017. Davis is now the third Black woman to claim EGOT ranking. “I wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola — to honor her life, her joy, her trauma, her everything,” Davis said in her acceptance speech. “And it has been such a journey. I just EGOT!”
