Angelina Jolie Matches Brad Pitt’s Halfway EGOT Status, Credits Daughter for Win

Date:

Key Takeaways:
* Angelina Jolie has achieved halfway to EGOT status by winning her first Tony Award.
* She is one step closer to reaching the prestigious EGOT status held by her ex-husband Brad Pitt.
* The award was in recognition of her role as a producer in the film ‘The Outsiders’.
* This achievement has sparked a wave of support from fans on social media.
* Angelina dedicated her win to her daughter, Vivienne.

Academy award-winning actress Angelina Jolie is climbing the ladder of success in Hollywood and is now matching her ex-husband Brad Pitt’s halfway EGOT status. EGOT is the acronym for the four major American entertainment awards: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.

Jolie’s Thrilling Win

Angelina Jolie won the Tony award for producing the film ‘The Outsiders’. The original book was a classic 1967 coming-of-age novel, and its adaptation into a musical enchanted both Jolie and her daughter, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. During her acceptance speech, Jolie spoke about the eternal message of love and family that the book had passed onto her daughter. As per the reports from Deadline, Jolie got a strong response for her speech.

Her Daughter’s Influence on The Win

Jolie told Deadline that it was her daughter’s passion for theater that led her to getting involved in the film. Vivienne’s numerous conversations around ‘The Outsiders’ piqued Angelina’s interest. Jolie reminisces,

“My daughter Viv loves theater…She went to see The Outsiders at La Jolla about five times and was telling me about it, and I had read the book, and I’d seen the film years ago.”

She talks about how the combination of watching the film and seeing its effect on her young daughter made the experience of understanding the material very different from her other works. She added, “Vivienne has been there the whole way.”

Fans Elation Over the Win

Fans were quick to respond to Jolie’s achievement and expressed their support through comments on social media. Twitter user @badinflu3nc3_ wrote, “Most Talented Hollywood Actress. Angelina Jolie” while another user @_mylittlewitch showed her support with “give her the rest of the awards because she’s Angelina Jolie”.

Jolie’s Status in Hollywood

After winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in ‘Girl, Interrupted’, and now a Tony Award for ‘The Outsiders’, Angelina Jolie is halfway to achieving the illustrious EGOT status. To reach there, she needs to bag an Emmy and a Grammy; the former is for television, and the latter for music. However, the interpretation of her words suggests that she holds spending quality time with her children in higher esteem than any award.

When asked about matching halfway EGOT status with her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, she might not seem to care for it. It seems that she treasures the time spent on creating a project intertwined with her daughter’s passion the most.

Jolie is admired for her multi-faceted roles in the entertainment industry, and her latest achievement has placed her in a crucial spot in Hollywood. Her fans are eagerly waiting for her future endeavours and are sure she will continue to surprise them with her colossal talent. In the end, it’s all about love for her craft, her family, and her indomitable spirit of perseverance that makes Angelina Jolie stand tall.

The film ‘The Outsiders’ is currently playing on Broadway. Grab a ticket to witness Jolie’s Tony-winning production.
