Cynthia Erivo leads the way in the betting odds to achieve EGOT
Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo now tops the betting market with UK Betting Sites to be the next person to achieve EGOT status with just one more award left to tick off for the 38-year-old.
Erivo won a Tony, a Grammy, and a Daytime Emmy for her role as Celie Harris Johnson on Broadway's The Color Purple and now needs an Oscar to get EGOT status.
EGOT is an acronym for the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards and 27 people have achieved the feat with 21 competitive and 6 with noncompetitive or honorary awards.
Paddy Power's latest betting odds places Erivo at 5/4 at the top of the market to be the next person to achieve EGOT status with the actress expected to be in the running for an Oscar for her performance in Wicked.
| Next person to achieve EGOT status | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Cynthia Erivo | 5/4 | 44.4% |
| Lin-Manuel Miranda | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross | 10/3 | 23.1% |
| Ludwig Goransson | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Adele | 15/2 | 11.8% |
Lin-Manuel Miranda second favourite in the latest market
It's no surprise to see Lin-Manuel Miranda so high up in the odds to achieve EGOT status with the songwriter, actor, singer and filmmaker needing just an Oscar like Erivo.
Lin-Manuel has 5 Grammy Awards, 3 Tony's and 2 Primetime Emmys and he has been nominated for Best Original Song at the Oscars on two previous occasions.
How Far I'll Go from Moana was beaten by City of Stars from La La Land in 2016 and Dos Oruguitas was defeated by Billie Eilish song No Time To Die from the Bond movie of the same name in 2021.
Lin-Manuel could well receive a nomination for one of his songs that feature on the Mufasa: The Lion King soundtrack at the upcoming Oscars.
