In 2006, a few _Dreamgirls_ song were nominated for Oscars, but Bey didn’t snag that prize, and she has yet to appear on Broadway to qualify for a Tony. Given her extensive experience as a showman, it’s hard to imagine anything she acted in would do anything less than bring the house down, though. [At this year’s Emmys](http://www.emmys.com/awards/nominees-winners), _Lemonade_ has been nominated for Outstanding Variety Special, Outstanding Production Design For A Variety, Nonfiction, Event Or Award Special, Outstanding Picture Editing For Variety Programming and Outstanding Directing For A Variety Special. For the first award, she’s up against big names like Adele and Amy Schumer, and events like _The Kennedy Center Honors_ and _The Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke Primetime Special_. _Lemonade_ is a whole other cup of the tea from those fellow nominees, though. Beyoncé is early on in her career for this kind of potential accolade. Only [12 showbiz legends](http://mentalfloss.com/article/55376/12-members-egot-winners-circle) have ever completed the EGOT challenge, including Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno and Whoopi Goldberg (a few more, like Barbra Streisand, have won it thanks to honorary awards given for their body of work). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4406714/beyonce-emmy-nominations-egot/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4406714/beyonce-emmy-nominations-egot/"},"headline":"Beyoncé Is One Step Closer to the Elusive EGOT","datePublished":"2016-07-14T19:40:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:34:25.744Z","description":"Gotta catch 'em all","url":"https://time.com/4406714/beyonce-emmy-nominations-egot/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt25087b5dfe39f168/69889bfd0a4a2224479ca775/beyonce-queen-bet.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt25087b5dfe39f168/69889bfd0a4a2224479ca775/beyonce-queen-bet.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2016 BET Awards - Show","caption":"2016 BET Awards - Show","creditText":"Kevin Winter—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4406714/beyonce-emmy-nominations-egot/","name":"Beyoncé Is One Step Closer to the Elusive EGOT"}}]}] ```
