i think cynthia erivo's emmy is a daytime emmy so imo she needs both

i think lin-manuel miranda and viola davis should be able to do this easily

[spiral_mystik]

No she doesn't. Whoopi's Emmy is also a Daytime Emmy.

[bodylikemind]

same goes for her then. but really it's a joke otherwise a few people that have it just wouldn't have it. i do think the category she won for is goofy in general and i assume that's why they got rid of it

[spiral_mystik]

She won for The View too.

important to note that Cynthia Erivo won her E for Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program, a category that does not exist anymore

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daytime_Emmy_Award_for_Outstanding_Musical_Performance_in_a_Daytime_Program

that also gave Ben Platt his E

Eh theres history of changing category names or eliminating categories but it still counts.

I would perform a book narration to get the Grammy.

Viola Davis needs to do this. She has such a nice soothing voice.

[false_hate]

Agreed. I feel like Jessica Lange would be great for a southern themed novel.

[simplychristina]

Seriously, someone find her an audiobook job. But she's amazing and could read Yelp reviews and it would still be worth listening to.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross need a Tony to become EGOT, and honestly the Emmy for the Watchmen OST is more than deserved, that OST has been on repeat for a while lol

Regina King needs a Tony and a Grammy

[scaredsquee]

yup came here to make sure t-rizzle was mentioned

[sarah_m_millar]

same!

[just444]

i always wonder what is the hardest to get, i would guess the Oscar?

[sarafina126]

I would argue Tony but they are definitely the hardest of the 4

[genbu_no_miko24]

Yeah I would agree.

[false_hate]

Agreed, live theater seems brutal.
