He was the biggest name in a category filled with notable nominees at Saturday night’s Creative Arts Emmys, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, David Attenborough and Lupita Nyong’o.

Barack Obama is the second president to win an Emmy. In 1956, Dwight D. Eisenhower received a special Emmy Award.

Barack Obama has previously won a Grammy for reading the audiobooks of two of his memoirs, “Fearless Hope” and “From My Father’s Dream.” Michelle Obama won her own Grammy for reading audiobooks in 2020.

EGOT refers to special categories of entertainers who have won Emmys, Grammys, Oscars, and Tonys. To date, 17 people have completed the work.

The late Chadwick Boseman also won an Emmy Saturday for his voiceover work. The “Black Panther” actor was honored for his outstanding character voice acting on the Disney+ and Marvel Studios animated show “What If…?”

On the show, Boseman voiced his “Black Panther” character T’Challa in an alternate universe, where he became Star-Lord in “Guardians of the Galaxy.”

It was one of the last projects of Boseman, who died of colon cancer in 2020 at the age of 43. (Associated Press)
