TLDR: Steven Spielberg has officially joined the exclusive EGOT club after winning his first Grammy Award on Sunday for producing the documentary Music by John Williams.

Completing the Quartet

The legendary filmmaker received the honor in the best music film category during the non-televised premiere ceremony ahead of the main Grammy Awards show.

Spielberg already possessed:

• Four Emmys (for The Pacific, Band of Brothers, Steven Spielberg Presents: A Pinky & The Brain Christmas, and Steven Spielberg Presents Taken)
• One Tony (for producing A Strange Loop)
• Three Oscars (for Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan)

This marks both his first Grammy nomination and first win.

Spielberg’s Comments

“Thank you to all the Grammy voters, whose recognition of Music by John Williams means the world to me and our Amblin team, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey, and congratulations to our partners at Imagine and the Walt Disney Company,” Spielberg said in a statement.

“This acknowledgment is obviously deeply meaningful to me because it validates what I have known for over 50 years: John Williams’ influence on culture and music is immeasurable and his artistry and legacy is unrivaled. I am proud to be associated with Laurent’s beautiful film.”

Elite Company

Only 21 people have achieved EGOT status—winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony—in their careers. The exclusive list includes:

• Rita Moreno (past Spielberg collaborator)
• Audrey Hepburn
• Mel Brooks
• Elton John
• Whoopi Goldberg
• John Legend
• Andrew Lloyd Webber
