Because we all know Matthew McConaughey will win an Emmy for his stunning work on True Detective later this year, I took a look back to see which actors and actresses have won both Oscars and Emmys. It’s like an EGOT, minus the G…and the T. So, an OE. More often than not, stars who take home Oscars opt to appear in miniseries, probably because it’s less of a time commitment and doesn’t edge on their fabulous film lives. Of the 62 people listed below, 36 are female and 26 male (go ladies!). The list is sorted by the most recent Oscar win.
