Steven Spielberg recently achieved the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony) status after completing the awards grand slam with his historic Grammy win at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards. He won the award for best Music Film for the documentary Music for John Williams, which he produced. Previously, Spielberg also won three Oscars, four Primetime Emmys and many more daytime Emmys and a Tony.
He becomes the 22nd entrant into the exclusive EGOT club. Now he is standing alongside icons such as Mel Brooks, Audrey Hepburn, Whoopi Goldberg and several others. Reacting to the honour, Spielberg said in a statement, “Thank you to all the Grammy voters, whose recognition of Music by John Williams means the world to me.”
All about artistes achieving the EGOT status
An EGOT winner is an artiste who has achieved the rare distinction of winning all four major American entertainment awards, namely an Emmy (television), Grammy (music), Oscar (film) and Tony (theatre). This elite status celebrates versatility and excellence across multiple creative fields. Only a small group of entertainers have completed an EGOT, making it one of the most prestigious milestones in show business. Notable EGOT winners include Richard Rodgers, Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, John Legend, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Whoopi Goldberg and Viola Davis. Now Steven Spielberg has joined the club.
