# 'Birdman' Wins Producers Guild Award for Best Movie

"Birdman" has won the Producers Guild of America's Darryl F. Zanuck Award for best movie — elevating its status as an awards-season front-runner since the last seven PGA winners have gone on to win the Best Picture Oscar.

Fox Searchlight's dark comedy, starring Michael Keaton as a washed-up film star, topped "American Sniper,' "Boyhood," "Foxcatcher," "Gone Girl," "Grand Budapest Hotel," "The Imitation Game," "Nightcrawler," "The Theory of Everything" and "Whiplash."

"Boyhood" had been the consensus favorite to win the PGA trophy — based on voting by more than 6,700 PGA members — with "American Sniper," "Birdman" and "Imitation Game" pegged as the most likely to score an upset.

The award went to director Alejandro G. Inarritu, John Lesher and James W. Skotchdopole.

"They want me to talk so that I make you laugh with my bad English," Inarritu said.

"On behalf of all of us, our only ambition was to make a risky and experimental exploration of the cinematic language, of an artist's complexity played by the incredible Michael Keaton."

"I feel humbled by this," Inarritu added.

"All the films that are nominated have such an individual voice, the expression behind them, only the people who made them, could have made them."

"Gravity" and "12 Years a Slave" wound up in a dead heat last year as both won the Zanuck award — the first tie in the PGA's 25-year history for the trophy.

The PGA uses the preferential balloting system employed for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the Oscars.

The PGA's Zanuck award has become a strong indicator of Oscar sentiment in recent years, matching the Oscar for best picture in 18 of its 25 years — including the last seven, with "12 Years a Slave," "Argo," "The Artist," "The King's Speech," "The Hurt Locker," "Slumdog Millionaire" and "No Country for Old Men."

The PGA winner last diverged from the Oscar best picture in 2006, when "Little Miss Sunshine" won the Zanuck while the Academy opted for "The Departed."

The producers branch of AMPAS constitutes about 8% of the AMPAS membership.

When the Academy expanded the best-picture Oscar category to 10 nominations in 2010, the PGA followed suit with an expansion of the Zanuck nominations to 10.

The top TV awards went to the final season of AMC's "Breaking Bad," Netflix's "Orange is the New Black" and FX's "Fargo."

"Breaking Bad" won the Norman Felton Award for top drama series for the second year in a row, topping "Downton Abbey," "Game of Thrones," "House of Cards" and "True Detective."

"You only know that your show is a big hit when the location signs are stolen," Bryan Cranston said.

"Life Itself," the biographical film about the late Roger Ebert, won the PGA documentary award for director Steve James, Zak Piper and Garrett Basch.

Magnolia's "Life Itself," based on Ebert's 2011 autobiography, topped "The Green Prince," "Merchants of Doubt," "Particle Fever" and "Virunga" — which was the only PGA nominee to also receive an Oscar nod

FX's "Fargo" won the David L. Wolper Award for longform TV.

The drama — based on the 1996 film of the same name by the Coen brothers — topped "American Horror Story," "The Normal Heart," "The Roosevelts: An Intimate History " and "Sherlock."

Netflix's "Orange is the New Black" won the Danny Thomas award for top comedy series.

The win by the groundbreaking prison-set series denied ABC's "Modern Family" its fifth consecutive award in the category.

"Orange is the New Black" also topped "The Big Bang Theory," "Louis" and "Veep."

Earlier, "The Lego Movie" took the PGA's top animated movie award — nine days after it was overlooked in the Oscar nominations.

"Lego" producer Dan Lin accepted the trophy from Reese Witherspoon and Bruna Papandrea.

He gave extensive thanks, concluding with co-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller and his family, and made no mention of the Oscar snub.

Warner Bros.' "Lego" topped "Big Hero 6," "The Book of Life," "The Boxtrolls" and "How to Train Your Dragon 2″ in the first award of the evening ceremonies for the 26th Annual PGA Awards at the Century Plaza.

"Frozen" won the PGA award and the Oscar last year.

"The Tonght Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" won the Live Entertainment and Talk Television award.

NBC's "The Voice" took the competition TV award.

Previously announced awards included HBO's AIDS drama "The Normal Heart" as recipient of the Stanley Kramer Award, which honors raising awareness of important social issues; Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer for the Milestone Award, and "The Walking Dead" producer Gale Ann Hurd for the David O. Selznick Achievement Award.

Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner's Plan B Entertainment received the Visionary Award presented by Norman Lear.

Mark Gordon, producer of "Criminal Minds," "Grey's Anatomy" and "Ray Donovan," received the Norman Lear Achievement Award in Television.

Jennifer Lawrence received the biggest laughs of the night with her intro of Feltheimer.

"Jon has been in this business for longer than I've been alive – I love saying that," she said at one point.

# Bus service resumes in downtown tunnel

The Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel will reopen for bus service this morning, after computer problems caused a shutdown last week.

The Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel reopened for bus service this morning, after computer problems caused a shutdown last week.

The tunnel has returned to its regular 5 a.m.-to-7 p.m. weekday schedule, serving 17 King County Metro bus routes and one Sound Transit route to Bellevue.

Since the closure last Wednesday, those buses have run on the street while contractors replaced and tested some allegedly defective circuit boards.

The glitch disrupted the tunnel's emergency-control systems, including backup power, signals, elevators and ventilation equipment.

Police say man who shot intruder had gun permit

A Kent man who shot and killed an intruder inside his condominium Saturday had a concealed-weapons permit, police said.

The 28-year-old homeowner, whose name hasn't been released, shot the unidentified suspect when he returned home about 6 p.m. and saw the man inside, according to Kent police.

The dead man, believed to be in his mid-20s, has been identified by the King County Medical Examiner's Office, but officials are still trying to reach his family, police spokesman Paul Petersen said.

Neighbors reported hearing four to five gunshots, but there were no witnesses other than the homeowner and his girlfriend, Petersen said.

After the man was shot, he ran through a broken sliding-glass door and died in the backyard.

The glass door was broken before the confrontation, and it's possible that's how the man entered the locked home, Petersen said.

The man who was killed was carrying a satchel-type bag that contained some stolen property from the couple's home, Petersen said.

State "super license" to ease Canada travel

Next month the state will offer an enhanced driver's license that eases travel to Canada.

You'll need to make an appointment to apply for the license at one of only 11 Department of Licensing offices equipped to provide the special features.

The new license with enhanced features will cost $40, or $15 more than the standard fee.

The "super license" will be an accepted form of identification for Washington residents returning from Canada by land or sea.

That means it will get you across the border at Blaine or into Seattle on a cruise ship.

But if you're returning to Washington by airplane from any country, including Canada, you'll still need a U.S. passport to satisfy federal Homeland Security workers at airports.

The passport requirement for air travel from outside the United States is already in effect.

The federal requirement for proof of citizenship and identity at land and sea ports of entry takes effect Jan. 31.

Department of Licensing spokeswoman Gigi Zenk says when border guards scan your enhanced license, your picture and the information on your license will appear on their computer screen.

The Umatilla facility incinerating chemical weaponry to satisfy treaty obligations says it destroyed the last of the nation's VX-filled spray tanks on Christmas Eve.

VX is an oily, clear liquid that can cause seizures, paralysis and suffocation.

The Army said Wednesday it had 1,018 spray tanks stockpiled.

Of those, it says, a Utah facility destroyed 862, and the Umatilla facility 156.

The Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility is also destroying rockets containing VX.

Next on its list are shells and land mines containing VX, with that work expected to end in 2009.

The spray tanks were designed to be mounted on planes.

The tunnel reopened to service on September 24, 2007, with tunnel routes modified to group common destinations together. Initially, the reopened tunnel was in use only on weekdays, with Saturday operation not yet reinstated. Stations were given new entrance signs, lighting fixtures, electronic passenger information signs, and restored paint. The peak bus-only restrictions on 3rd Avenue remained in place after the reopening, along with the skip-stop service that Metro implemented on the street. The tunnel was temporarily closed for nine days in December. The tunnel was closed because a computer glitch disrupted the tunnel's new emergency-control system.

# A royal party opens Cricket World Cup on the Mall ahead of today's opening match

The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 opened in style on the most famous street in the world with a host of cricket legends, alongside global dignitaries, celebrities and pop stars.

Hosted by ex-England star Freddie Flintoff, actress/singer Shibani Dandekar and presenter Paddy McGuinness, the event was watched by millions around the world, with a live broadcast on Sky TV, in addition to the 5,000 fans that joined in the free ticketed party on The Mall.

All competing nations were represented in a ten-team celebrity street Cricket World Cup challenge, with appearances from some of the very best cricket legends in the game.

Kevin Pietersen, Sir Vivian Richards, Jacques Kallis and Anil Kumble partnered with cricket fan celebrities including Pakistani activist and youngest-ever Nobel Prize Winner Malala Yousafzai, Wimbledon winner Pat Cash, champion sprinter Johan Blake, acclaimed Indian actor and director Farhan Akhtar, All Black Sean Fitzpatrick, reality TV star Chris Hughes and footballer Steven Pienaar.

Opening Party - ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019

The ten #CWC19 captains greeted the ticket ballot-winning fans in the crowd after meeting the Queen at Buckingham Palace earlier in the day.

The 100-day Trophy Tour finale saw CWC15-winning Australian captain Michael Clarke, with the support of #CWCTrophyTour ambassador Graeme Swann, hand the trophy over to commence the tournament.

The show closed with a live performance of the Official Tournament Song, 'Stand by', with LORYN and Rudimental, alongside the Cricket World Cup trophy with Buckingham Palace creating an unforgettable backdrop.

ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 Managing Director Steve Elworthy said: "Today we saw a remarkable party to open this World Cup in style.

Across the last two years, we have continually reached out to new audiences to grow the game; women, children, sport-loving families, big event fans, while engaging with the diverse and passionate cricket fans already in this country.

"The tournament is shaping up to be the greatest ever cricket celebration and a record-breaking World Cup and we want to inspire future generations of fans in this country and around the world.

This party encapsulates the atmosphere that we know the fans will bring to the World Cup.

Now we look forward to the party continuing for six weeks as the best ten teams in the world battle for the ultimate prize in one-day cricket!"

Recreation in Mosquito Lagoon includes fishing, canoeing, kayaking, motorboating, sailing, water skiing and nature viewing.

The lagoon, particularly the southern portion, is one of the least developed regions on the east coast.

Fishing is especially popular in Mosquito Lagoon with the majority of anglers targeting redfish and spotted sea trout.

Three public waterfront parks are located east of U.S. Highway 1 along Riverside Drive, in the city of Edgewater, adjacent to Mosquito Lagoon Aquatic Preserve:

Kennedy Point Memorial Park and Menard-May Park both have boat ramps.

Menard-May Park also offers a riverfront playground, pavilion, restrooms, sandy beach, native plants, mangrove habitat and two fishing/observation piers.

Veterans Park has a parking area and a fishing and observation pier that juts directly into Mosquito Lagoon.

Additional public boat and kayak launches are available around Mosquito Lagoon, outside aquatic preserve boundaries.

The adjacent barrier island and uplands are rich with pre-Columbian archaeological sites.

The most well-known historical site near the Mosquito Lagoon Aquatic Preserve is Turtle Mound, which is the largest shell midden on the east coast of Florida.

When Viola Davis won the Best Supporting Actress prize at the Academy Awards, she became the 23rd person to achieve the triple crown of acting: a competitive Oscar, Emmy and Tony (two Tonys, in her case).

She is the first African American to join the club.

Receiving an award is a fickle honor — a function of timing, campaigning and momentum as much as talent — but winning the triple crown is a meaningful Hollywood achievement.

Club members are all deeply respected in their field; there's not a stowaway in the bunch.

Acting's triple crown is a rare distinction.

Not even Davis's idol, Meryl Streep, has achieved it.

There are indeed more than 22 actors who've received all three awards, but they did so for reasons other than just acting — or the awards were non-competitive in nature, such as an honorary Oscar.

For example, John Gielgud and Whoopi Goldberg received all three, but his Tony came for directing a play and hers came for producing a musical

Audrey Hepburn, with an Oscar and Tony on her mantel, received an Emmy in 1993 for a TV special about gardens, but she wasn't playing a role.

Liza Minnelli's Emmy for "Liza With a Z," in which she starred, was — alas — for a non-acting category.

From Helen Hayes to Helen Mirren: Photos of 'triple crown'-winning actors View Photos

Viola Davis joined the club on Oscar night.

Caption There are now 23 actors who have received the rare distinction of winning a competitive Oscar, Emmy and Tony.

Viola Davis joined the club on Oscar night. Feb. 27, 2017 Viola Davis accepts the best supporting actress Oscar for "Fences" during the 89th Annual Academy Awards.

She has two Emmys, for "How to Get Away with Murder" (2015 and 2016), and two Tonys, for "Fences" (2010) and "King Hedley II" (2001).

Much is made of the "EGOT," which adds a Grammy Award to the mix, but that's a distinction that doesn't solely honor acting.

In fact, there's just one person who's competitively achieved an EGOT entirely through performance (we don't count the "spoken word" Grammy category as acting).

That person is No. 8 on this list of triple-crowners, presented here in reverse chronology from when they joined the club.

Viola Davis accepts the Best Supporting Actress prize for "Fences" on Sunday, Feb. 26.

23. Viola Davis won her Oscar, after two prior nominations, for "Fences," the film adaptation of the August Wilson play, for which she also won the second of her two Tonys.

1 Emmy: "How to Get Away with Murder" (2015)

2 Tonys: "King Hedley II" (2001), "Fences" (2010)

22. Jessica Lange is the most recent joiner, courtesy of one of the great stage roles: Mary Tyrone, the drug-addled matriarch of Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night," which closed on Broadway last June.

2 Oscars: "Tootsie" (1983), "Blue Sky" (1995)

3 Emmys: "Grey Gardens" (2009), "American Horror Story" (2012, 2014)

1 Tony: "Long Day's Journey Into Night" (2016)

21. Frances McDormand is a quintessential triple-crowner — lacking physical vanity, trained as a classic theater actor and versatile over a long period of time.

"I have done both Stella and Blanche in 'Streetcar,' " she said, holding her Tony, wearing a jean jacket, "and I've played all three of Chekhov's sisters."

Helen Mirren, who didn't start her awards streak until she turned 50, can thank British royalty for her triple crown.

She has one of each award for playing Elizabeth I or Elizabeth II.

4 Emmys: "The Passion of Ayn Rand" (1999), "Elizabeth I" (2006), the "Prime Suspect" franchise (1996 and 2007)

Christopher Plummer, Capt. Von Trapp himself, finally worked his way to an Oscar at age 82 (making him the oldest acting winner).

"You're only two years older than me, darling," he said to his Oscar.

2 Tonys: "Cyrano" (1974), "Barrymore" (1997)

2 Emmys: "Arthur Hailey's the Moneychangers" (1977) and for his voice-over work in the animated series "Madeline" (1994).

Ellen Burstyn, already a household name because of "The Exorcist," had quite a year in 1975.

In the span of 12 days, she won an Oscar and a Tony.

She skipped the former's ceremony because she was performing in the play that won her the latter.

1 Oscar: "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" (1975)

2 Emmys: "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (2009), "Political Animals" (2013)

17. Geoffrey Rush, the only Australian member of the club, completed the first two legs of the triple crown by playing real-life misfits: piano prodigy David Helfgott and British comic actor Peter Sellers.

1 Emmy: "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers" (2005)

Al Pacino accepted his first Tony less than a week before his 29th birthday.

He would have to wait over 20 years, through eight Oscar nominations, before completing the second leg.

When Jodie Foster called his name at the Oscars, triple-crowner Vanessa Redgrave — sitting behind him — throttled his shoulders with excitement.

2 Tonys: "Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie?" (1969), "The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel" (1977)

2 Emmys: "Angels in America" (2003), "You Don't Know Jack" (2010)

15. Maggie Smith has a habit of not attending the Emmys ceremony.

"If we call your name and you're not here to accept," Jimmy Kimmel said at last year's show, "the Emmy goes to the next name on the list.

"We're not mailing this to her," he said.

2 Oscars: "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" (1970), "California Suite" (1979)

4 Emmys: "My House in Umbria" (2003), "Downton Abbey" (2011, 2012, 2016)

14. Vanessa Redgrave was heckled during her Oscar speech for referring to "Zionist hoodlums" riling the Middle East, but by the end of the speech the audience was mostly applauding.

Like Lange, she got her Tony for playing Mary Tyrone.

2 Emmys: "Playing for Time" (1981), "If These Walls Could Talk 2" (2000)

1 Tony: "Long Day's Journey Into Night" (2003)

The role of Annie Sullivan in "The Miracle Worker" earned Anne Bancroft accolades on stage and screen.

Anne Bancroft, up against Bette Davis for the Oscar in 1963, didn't attend the ceremony.

Joan Crawford, Davis's rival and un-nominated co-star in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?," had offered all the non-Davis nominees who wouldn't be there that she'd go up to accept the Oscar on their behalf.

Crawford followed Bancroft's written instructions, which were identical to her Tony speech for the same role, as Annie Sullivan.

She simply thanked her director, writer and producer.

2 Tonys: "Two for the Seesaw" (1958), "The Miracle Worker" (1960)

12. Jeremy Irons, after beginning his career in the West End, won a Tony for his Broadway debut and, seven years later, accepted an Oscar from Jessica Tandy, who had just attained the triple crown herself.

3 Emmys: "Elizabeth I" (2006) and two for voice-over work: "Big Cat Week" (2014), "The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century" (1997)

11. Jessica Tandy took the longest to complete her triple crown.

There were 42 years between her first Tony, for originating the role of Blanche DuBois in "A Streetcar Named Desire," and her first Oscar, for bringing the titular stage character in "Driving Miss Daisy" to the screen.

3 Tonys: "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1948), "The Gin Game" (1978), "Foxfire" (1983)

10. Jason Robards racked up 16 nominations across the triple-crown board and is one of only five actors to win consecutive Oscars for acting (the others are Tom Hanks, Katharine Hepburn, Luise Rainer and Spencer Tracy).

2 Oscars: "All the President's Men" (1977), "Julia" (1978)

9. Maureen Stapleton wore her Oscar dress the following night on "The Tonight Show," explaining that she was repeating the outfit because "it cost a lot of money."

She then admitted to Johnny Carson that she hadn't even seen the movie for which she'd won.

2 Tonys: "The Rose Tattoo" (1951), "The Gingerbread Lady" (1971)

1 Emmy: "Among the Paths to Eden" (1968)

8. Rita Moreno not only attained the triple crown of acting — she has a competitive Grammy Award as well.

Moreno also gave one of the best (and shortest) Oscar acceptance speeches: "I can't believe it!

2 Emmys: "The Muppet Show" (1977), "The Rockford Files" (1978)

7. Jack Albertson, a former pool shark and vaudevillian, would gain immortality by playing Grandpa Joe in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" in 1971, but first he parlayed a part written by playwright Frank Gilroy through the first two legs of the triple crown.

2 Emmys: "Cher" (1975), "Chico and the Man" (1976)

Paul Scofield in the 1966 film "A Man for All Seasons."

6. Paul Scofield, a British actor known for his interpretations of Shakespeare, achieved the triple crown in the shortest span of time of anyone in the club: seven years.

Two of the awards came for playing Sir Thomas More in the stage and film versions of Robert Bolt's "A Man for All Seasons."

5. Melvyn Douglas made a name for himself 20 years before he started winning awards, opposite Greta Garbo in the classic "Ninotchka."

He accepted only his Tony Award, for best lead actor in a play, in person.

2 Oscars: "Hud" (1964) and "Being There" (1980)

4. Shirley Booth, like Marisa Tomei and Jennifer Lawrence decades later, tripped on the stairs when accepting her Oscar, during the first televised Academy Awards — which was held in Hollywood and New York simultaneously.

When Viola Davis won the Best Supporting Actress prize at the Academy Awards, she became the 23rd person to achieve the triple crown of acting: a competitive Oscar, Emmy and Tony (two Tonys, in her case).

She is the first African American to join the club.

Receiving an award is a fickle honor — a function of timing, campaigning and momentum as much as talent — but winning the triple crown is a meaningful Hollywood achievement.

Club members are all deeply respected in their field; there's not a stowaway in the bunch.

Acting's triple crown is a rare distinction.

Not even Davis's idol, Meryl Streep, has achieved it.

There are indeed more than 22 actors who've received all three awards, but they did so for reasons other than just acting — or the awards were non-competitive in nature, such as an honorary Oscar.

For example, John Gielgud and Whoopi Goldberg received all three, but his Tony came for directing a play and hers came for producing a musical

Audrey Hepburn, with an Oscar and Tony on her mantel, received an Emmy in 1993 for a TV special about gardens, but she wasn't playing a role.

Liza Minnelli's Emmy for "Liza With a Z," in which she starred, was — alas — for a non-acting category.

Viola Davis joined the club on Oscar night.

Caption There are now 23 actors who have received the rare distinction of winning a competitive Oscar, Emmy and Tony.

Viola Davis joined the club on Oscar night. Feb. 27, 2017 Viola Davis accepts the best supporting actress Oscar for "Fences" during the 89th Annual Academy Awards.

She has two Emmys, for "How to Get Away with Murder" (2015 and 2016), and two Tonys, for "Fences" (2010) and "King Hedley II" (2001).

Much is made of the "EGOT," which adds a Grammy Award to the mix, but that's a distinction that doesn't solely honor acting.

In fact, there's just one person who's competitively achieved an EGOT entirely through performance (we don't count the "spoken word" Grammy category as acting).

That person is No. 8 on this list of triple-crowners, presented here in reverse chronology from when they joined the club.

Viola Davis accepts the Best Supporting Actress prize for "Fences" on Sunday, Feb. 26.

23. Viola Davis won her Oscar, after two prior nominations, for "Fences," the film adaptation of the August Wilson play, for which she also won the second of her two Tonys.

1 Emmy: "How to Get Away with Murder" (2015)

2 Tonys: "King Hedley II" (2001), "Fences" (2010)

22. Jessica Lange is the most recent joiner, courtesy of one of the great stage roles: Mary Tyrone, the drug-addled matriarch of Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night," which closed on Broadway last June.

2 Oscars: "Tootsie" (1983), "Blue Sky" (1995)

3 Emmys: "Grey Gardens" (2009), "American Horror Story" (2012, 2014)

1 Tony: "Long Day's Journey Into Night" (2016)

21. Frances McDormand is a quintessential triple-crowner — lacking physical vanity, trained as a classic theater actor and versatile over a long period of time.

"I have done both Stella and Blanche in 'Streetcar,' " she said, holding her Tony, wearing a jean jacket, "and I've played all three of Chekhov's sisters."

Helen Mirren, who didn't start her awards streak until she turned 50, can thank British royalty for her triple crown.

She has one of each award for playing Elizabeth I or Elizabeth II.

4 Emmys: "The Passion of Ayn Rand" (1999), "Elizabeth I" (2006), the "Prime Suspect" franchise (1996 and 2007)

Christopher Plummer, Capt. Von Trapp himself, finally worked his way to an Oscar at age 82 (making him the oldest acting winner).

"You're only two years older than me, darling," he said to his Oscar.

2 Tonys: "Cyrano" (1974), "Barrymore" (1997)

2 Emmys: "Arthur Hailey's the Moneychangers" (1977) and for his voice-over work in the animated series "Madeline" (1994).

Ellen Burstyn, already a household name because of "The Exorcist," had quite a year in 1975.

In the span of 12 days, she won an Oscar and a Tony.

She skipped the former's ceremony because she was performing in the play that won her the latter.

1 Oscar: "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" (1975)

2 Emmys: "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (2009), "Political Animals" (2013)

17. Geoffrey Rush, the only Australian member of the club, completed the first two legs of the triple crown by playing real-life misfits: piano prodigy David Helfgott and British comic actor Peter Sellers.

1 Emmy: "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers" (2005)

Al Pacino accepted his first Tony less than a week before his 29th birthday.

He would have to wait over 20 years, through eight Oscar nominations, before completing the second leg.

When Jodie Foster called his name at the Oscars, triple-crowner Vanessa Redgrave — sitting behind him — throttled his shoulders with excitement.

2 Tonys: "Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie?" (1969), "The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel" (1977)

2 Emmys: "Angels in America" (2003), "You Don't Know Jack" (2010)

15. Maggie Smith has a habit of not attending the Emmys ceremony.

"If we call your name and you're not here to accept," Jimmy Kimmel said at last year's show, "the Emmy goes to the next name on the list.

"We're not mailing this to her," he said.

2 Oscars: "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" (1970), "California Suite" (1979)

4 Emmys: "My House in Umbria" (2003), "Downton Abbey" (2011, 2012, 2016)

14. Vanessa Redgrave was heckled during her Oscar speech for referring to "Zionist hoodlums" riling the Middle East, but by the end of the speech the audience was mostly applauding.

Like Lange, she got her Tony for playing Mary Tyrone.

2 Emmys: "Playing for Time" (1981), "If These Walls Could Talk 2" (2000)

1 Tony: "Long Day's Journey Into Night" (2003)

The role of Annie Sullivan in "The Miracle Worker" earned Anne Bancroft accolades on stage and screen.

Anne Bancroft, up against Bette Davis for the Oscar in 1963, didn't attend the ceremony.

Joan Crawford, Davis's rival and un-nominated co-star in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?," had offered all the non-Davis nominees who wouldn't be there that she'd go up to accept the Oscar on their behalf.

Crawford followed Bancroft's written instructions, which were identical to her Tony speech for the same role, as Annie Sullivan.

She simply thanked her director, writer and producer.

2 Tonys: "Two for the Seesaw" (1958), "The Miracle Worker" (1960)

12. Jeremy Irons, after beginning his career in the West End, won a Tony for his Broadway debut and, seven years later, accepted an Oscar from Jessica Tandy, who had just attained the triple crown herself.

3 Emmys: "Elizabeth I" (2006) and two for voice-over work: "Big Cat Week" (2014), "The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century" (1997)

11. Jessica Tandy took the longest to complete her triple crown.

There were 42 years between her first Tony, for originating the role of Blanche DuBois in "A Streetcar Named Desire," and her first Oscar, for bringing the titular stage character in "Driving Miss Daisy" to the screen.

3 Tonys: "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1948), "The Gin Game" (1978), "Foxfire" (1983)

10. Jason Robards racked up 16 nominations across the triple-crown board and is one of only five actors to win consecutive Oscars for acting (the others are Tom Hanks, Katharine Hepburn, Luise Rainer and Spencer Tracy).

2 Oscars: "All the President's Men" (1977), "Julia" (1978)

9. Maureen Stapleton wore her Oscar dress the following night on "The Tonight Show," explaining that she was repeating the outfit because "it cost a lot of money."

She then admitted to Johnny Carson that she hadn't even seen the movie for which she'd won.

2 Tonys: "The Rose Tattoo" (1951), "The Gingerbread Lady" (1971)

1 Emmy: "Among the Paths to Eden" (1968)

8. Rita Moreno not only attained the triple crown of acting — she has a competitive Grammy Award as well.

Moreno also gave one of the best (and shortest) Oscar acceptance speeches: "I can't believe it!

2 Emmys: "The Muppet Show" (1977), "The Rockford Files" (1978)

7. Jack Albertson, a former pool shark and vaudevillian, would gain immortality by playing Grandpa Joe in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" in 1971, but first he parlayed a part written by playwright Frank Gilroy through the first two legs of the triple crown.

2 Emmys: "Cher" (1975), "Chico and the Man" (1976)

Paul Scofield in the 1966 film "A Man for All Seasons."

6. Paul Scofield, a British actor known for his interpretations of Shakespeare, achieved the triple crown in the shortest span of time of anyone in the club: seven years.

Two of the awards came for playing Sir Thomas More in the stage and film versions of Robert Bolt's "A Man for All Seasons."

5. Melvyn Douglas made a name for himself 20 years before he started winning awards, opposite Greta Garbo in the classic "Ninotchka."

He accepted only his Tony Award, for best lead actor in a play, in person.

2 Oscars: "Hud" (1964) and "Being There" (1980)

4. Shirley Booth, like Marisa Tomei and Jennifer Lawrence decades later, tripped on the stairs when accepting her Oscar, during the first televised Academy Awards — which was held in Hollywood and New York simultaneously.

"I guess this is the peak," she said from the stage in New York, though her starring role in the NBC sitcom "Hazel" would come within a decade.

3 Tonys: "Goodbye, My Fancy" (1949), "Come Back, Little Sheba" (1950), "The Time of the Cuckoo" (1953)

1 Oscar: "Come Back, Little Sheba" (1953)

3. Ingrid Bergman uttered one of the best humblebrags in the history of the Academy Awards when she nabbed her third statuette: "It's always very nice to get an Oscar."
