Viola Davis on Sunday night became the latest celebrity to EGOT when she won a Grammy for the audio version of her 2022 memoir. "Oh my God! I wrote this book to honor the 6-year-old Viola, to honor her life, her joy, her trauma, everything. And it has just been such a journey. I just EGOT!" Davis said in her acceptance speech at the awards ceremony, per People. She won best audiobook, narration & storytelling recording for narrating her book Finding Me, Los Angeles Times reports. She won her Tony in 2010 for best actress in the play Fences; her Emmy in 2015 for lead actress in How to Get Away With Murder; and her Oscar in 2017 for supporting actress in the film version of Fences.
