"Steven Spielberg just hit yet another major milestone. At the 2026 Grammy Awards, the legendary filmmaker became an EGOT, winning his first Grammy for producing Music by John Williams, which took home the trophy for Best Music Film. While qualifying for EGOT status requires just one win in each category, Spielberg has previously taken home a total of four Emmys (for The Pacific, Band of Brothers, Steven Spielberg Presents: A Pinky & The Brain Christmas, and Steven Spielberg Presents Taken),"
"Spielberg now joins an elite group of just 21 individuals to achieve the EGOT-a term first popularized by actor Philip Michael Thomas in 1984, though composer Richard Rodgers technically achieved the feat back in 1962. Past winners include Audrey Hepburn, Mel Brooks, Whoopi Goldberg, John Legend, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Viola Davis. As if you had any doubt, Spielberg will soon have another chance to add to his many accolades. Hamnet, produced by Spielberg, is nominated for Best Picture at the 2026 Oscars."

Spielberg now joins 21 EGOT winners, and Hamnet, which he produced, is nominated for Best Picture at the 2026 Oscars.
