Schmigadoon led the field with 12 nominations and four wins, including Best Musical, completing Apple TV’s four-award set, officials said.
- Apple TV officially achieved EGOT status on Sunday at the 79th Tony Awards, with its Broadway adaptation of Schmigadoon! winning Best Musical and four awards total.
- Launched in November 2019, Apple TV accomplished this milestone in about six-and-a-half years, significantly faster than Netflix, which required roughly 12 years to attain EGOT status.
- Apple secured its previous accolades through Emmy wins for Ted Lasso and The Studio, a Best Picture Oscar for CODA, and a Grammy for Chris Stapleton's F1 soundtrack.
- Producer Lorne Michaels noted the win completes a "studio EGOT," while the ceremony honored actor John Lithgow for his third Tony and playwright Bess Wohl for Liberation.
- Broadway also celebrated traditional theatrical achievements, including Death of a Salesman winning Best Revival, underscoring an evolving landscape where streaming adaptations and classic productions now coexist.
