According to Goldderby, Cynthia Erivo won a Daytime Emmy yesterday, April 28th, which puts her only one award away from EGOT. The Daytime Emmy win came from a nomination of The Color Purple cast's performance on NBC's Today Show. Following the award for Best Musical Performance in a Daytime Program, Erivo needs only an Oscar to finish the coveted award acronym.
