Rare showbiz collections
Answer:
EGOTS
Hint:
Think of the elite group of performers who’ve won all four major entertainment awards—each letter stands for one.
Explanation:
"EGOTS" refers to the rare achievement of winning all four major American entertainment awards: an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. The clue plays on "showbiz collections" since these awards are prestigious trophies collected by only a handful of performers. The plural "EGOTS" hints at multiple winners (like Audrey Hepburn or John Legend) who’ve earned the full set.
