Gold Derby

AwardsFan1990
June 28, 2026
Mister D: Somehow, my brain is not letting me understand this? Anyone want to explain?
Out of the 169 actors who’ve managed to achieve Triple Crown status with Oscar, Emmy, and Tony nominations, 24 of them managed to win all three awards. From that list, I was also curious to see how many of these actors went on to achieve what I call Quadruple Crown status with acting nominations at the Saturn Awards, which for those who are not aware, is an awards ceremony designed to reward film genres that haven’t always gotten awards respect like science fiction, fantasy, and horror and has been around since the early 1970s. And from what I’ve found, 69 of these 169 actors have achieved Quadruple Crown status with Saturn nominations for acting, and those actors are:
