I think Liza is wrong. But maybe not. I'll go with SIR John Gielgood.

9. John Gielgood - First: Tony (1961) Fourth: Emmy (1991) 30 years = 70 pts for Kyle
15. Helen Hayes - First: Oscar (1932) Fourth: Grammy (1977) 45 years = 55 pts for akiva
Non-Competitive:
3. Liza Minnelli - First: Tony (1966) Fourth: Grammy(1990) Non-competitive: Special Grammy Award: Grammy Legend Award (non-competitive) (1990) 25 years = 37.5 pts for poorpete
6. Harry Belafonte - First; Tony (1954) Fourth: Oscar: 2014) Non-competitive: Oscar - Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award (non-competitive) (2014) 20 years = 60 pts for Tahlvin

Added Clue: First Tony Award

And poorpete takes the lead back...

Oh shit! I thought Liza was a guess for Arthur for "best supporting Actor" and you misread it. Ha! Everyone wins!

Okay- I've got no idea anymore, so I'm guessing Robert Evans because even if he's not on the list- he's the greatest EGOT in his own mind. The Kid Stays in the EGOT!

Non-Competitive:
4. James Earl Jones - First: Tony (1969) Fourth: Oscar (2011) Non-competitive: Academy Honorary Award (2011) 42 years = 29 pts for Tahlvin

Irving Berlin - not an EGOT (Grammy Non-competitive and missing an Emmy)
Robert Evans - not an EGOT (no major awards... one Oscar nomination for Chinatown)
James Horner - not an EGOT (missing multiple, probably due to his untimely death in a plane crash... but he was the pilot so...)

Hint added: First Emmy

Tahlvin takes back the lead... three left. One that should be getting pretty obvious by now from the hints, but maybe that's just me... The other two... I really don't think anybody will get... they're pretty obscure in my opinion... Maybe the composer with the number of musicians we've got around here, but he's definitely not a household name.

I don't think this is right, but I seem to remember him being close to an egot: Brian Glazer?

I don't think anyone is going to get the Little Night Music one. You hardly ever hear of the orchestrators outside of very select circles. I had to look him up and still didn't recognize him.
