Triple Threat: 22 Actors Who Swept Award Season
With award season raging in Hollywood, we're starting to get a sense of the movies that are poised to win big (we're looking at you, La La Land). The biggest honor someone can pull off during these months is the Triple Crown: when one actor takes home the Globe, the SAG Award, and the Oscar. There are many men (and women!) who have succeeded to do this in the past, so if you're curious to see the talented people who took home all three for their work all in the same year, just take a look at this list of triple winners.
