New Delhi: Former US President Barack Obama has had a banging entry in Hollywood. Barack Obama, who has received almost all the major awards including the Nobel Peace Prize, has won the prestigious Emmy Award in the television world with his entry in Hollywood. On Saturday, the Television Academy honored Barack Obama with an Emmy Award for his narration in his Netflix documentary series Our Great National Parks.
Barack Obama, one of the world’s most popular leaders, who has been a two-time President of America, has also received the Nobel Peace Prize. He has also received the Grammy, the biggest award in the music world, twice. Now he has also got Emmy, the most prestigious award in the television world. In this way, out of the four prestigious awards in the world of entertainment, now two are lagging behind. They are Oscar and Tony.
These four awards are called EGOTs. That is the achievement of getting all four awards. (achievement of having won all four of the major American entertainment awards). This means that if they win two more awards, they will join the EGOT club. According to the Entertainment Weekly tracker, only 17 people have achieved EGOT, including Mel Brooks, Whoopi Goldberg, Audrey Hepburn, and — most recently, Jennifer Hudson.
Before this, another US President has received an Emmy in 1956. However, then President D. Eisenhower was awarded the Honorary Emmy Award. Since leaving office in 2017, Obama and his wife Michelle have both written their own memoirs and both memoirs are best-selling memoirs. After this, he formed a non-profit organization under which a production company has been established. It is being told that this company has made a big deal with Netflix of more than 10 million dollars. His company’s first documentary film, “American Factory,” won an Oscar for Best Documentary Feature and an Emmy for Directing. However, for this, the makers of the film got this award and not Obama himself. That’s why he is yet to get an Oscar.
