I just realized he’s just an Oscar (and he has been nominated) from getting his EGOT.

I don’t know how Team America didn’t get an Oscar.

Wouldn’t it be the same for Matt Stone too technically?

Also I have no doubts that if they make The Book of Mormon into a Chicago/West Side Story movie musical that he could get it

Even though I know you’re just kidding, for the record his Oscar nomination was for best song, Blame Canada from _South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut_. Robin Williams performed it during the ceremony. He lost to Phil Collins (for a song from the Disney Tarzan movie I think) which is why they made fun of him in a later episode.

Him & Stone appeared at the ceremony as each other’s ‘dates’ with one of them wearing that infamous super low-cut dress Jennifer Lopez wore the year before. They were also stoned and/or tripping balls the whole time…

Maybe the OP is considering that Parker won a Tony for directing _The Book of Mormon_ which Stone did not share. But they did share the Tonys for Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Original Score.
