Viola Davis has now achieved the rare status of EGOT after winning her first GRAMMY!
What on earth is an EGOT you may be wondering? It's a person who wins an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award and yes, Ms. Viola has just become the 18th person in the world to reach this status, joining the likes of John Legend, Jennifer Hudson, Whoopi Goldberg and Rita Moreno.
Today's GRAMMY was awarded to the award-winning actor for her audio narration of her memoir, Finding Me.
Speaking on stage, Viola celebrated her epic win:
"I just got EGOT!"
