Will Helen Mirren be the next mega talented star to join the highly elite EGOT club?

Well, after winning a Tony Award on Sunday night for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in The Audience, the 69-year-old is now one step closer to completing the holy grail of awards: an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. Mirren already has three out of four in the bag, winning an Academy Award in 2006 for portraying the same monarch in The Queen and three Emmys for her work on Prime Suspect and Elizabeth I. 

And it looks as if Mirren isn't afraid of going for the final Grammy

Watch: How Will Helen Mirren Win a Grammy?

Before the show, the elegant actress opened up to E! News correspondent Alicia Quarles on her plan to reach the ranks of entertainment legends like Liza Minnelli and Barbra Streisand.

"I want a Grammy," she shared. "I've got to do an audio book. I certainly won't win a Grammy singing."

Mirren also revealed just how important winning a Tony means to the extremely accomplished actress. 

"As artists we're not like horse races. I'm not like American Pharoah," Mirren joked of the recent Triple Crown winner. "That's not the way it works in art at all, so of course it's an incredible honor to be nominated. It's just an honor to be on Broadway. That's really as far as my mind can go."

Always so humble and gracious. We have no doubt Mirren will reach EGOT status in no time!
