The star of the night was Elton John, since the Emmy he won for his Disney+ special meant that he finally achieved EGOT status. EGOT status means that someone has been awarded all of the four major entertainment awards, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. Elton John is now the 19th person to achieve EGOT status.
