Aren’t all EGOTs this way? I’m no expert on them, but I feel like they usually are mainstream awards earned in the winner’s primary field, then less notable or prestigious awards for the others. Of course still very impressive and worthy of celebration. I don’t think we’d have any EGOT winners if we expected them all to be from “main” awards

Pretty much EGOTs are either performers with a spoken word album or songwriters. Producing has also become a more popular way to achieve it recently
