Steven Spielberg has officially achieved EGOT status.
The beloved and deeply influential filmmaker earned his first Grammy on Sunday during the 68th Annual Grammy Awards. The Emmy, Oscar, and Tony Award-winner can now add a Grammy for Best Music Film to his long list of accolades. Spielberg earned the award for Music By John Williams, the 2024 documentary film about the composer and conductor John Williams, which he produced alongside director Laurent Bouzereau, among others.
The award completed Spielberg's long-anticipated EGOT, the rarest tier of entertainment honors, and places him among a select group of entertainers who have been recognized across all four major American performance awards. Despite a career spanning more than five decades, the Grammy had eluded him until now.
Surprisingly, Spielberg was not in attendance to receive his EGOT status-earning award, which may indicate that the filmmaker was not necessarily expecting to receive it.
However, Spielberg is no stranger to being honored by his peers, and his Grammy Award is simply the latest addition to his decorated career. He's won a total of three Academy Awards, including one for Best Director for his work on Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan. He's also won several Emmy Awards for a varied array of projects like Band of Brothers, The Pacific,Tiny Toon Adventures, and Animaniacs.. Then, in 2022, Spielberg won his Tony Award for his role as producer for Best Musical winner, A Strange Loop.
The Grammy win for Music By John Williams pays tribute to Spielberg's longstanding collaboration with composer John Williams, whose scores have become synonymous with Spielberg's own cinematic milestones like Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and Indiana Jones.
Only 21 other people have achieved EGOT status by winning all four awards, including the likes of Elton John, Whoopi Goldberg, Viola Davis, And Jennifer Hudson. There also six people who are considered "non-competitive" EGOT winners, meaning they have received at least one of the four major awards as an honorary accolade, like a lifetime achievement award, as opposed to winning a particular category.
