Steven Spielberg is now an EGOT

Steven Spielberg achieved EGOT status by winning a Grammy earlier this evening.
The Jaws director was recognized for producing the Music by John Williams documentary that won Best Music Film.
He can add that Grammy to his four Emmys (including for Band of Brothers), Tony (for producing A Strange Loop) and his three Oscars (for Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan).
He becomes only the 22nd EGOT. Here are the other 21:

Taylor Swift is the proud winner of no less than 14 Grammys, but she won’t be attending the ceremony this year.
Her most recent album, The Life of a Showgirl, was released in October 2025, which was after the eligibility period for this year’s awards ended. (The 2026 Grammys recognize music released between the end of August 2024 and the end of August 2025).

And Tyler Childer’s album, also listed in our Albums of the Year 2025
Hannah Ewens was a huge fan of Snipe Hunter, competing against Jelly Roll, Miranda Lambert, Kelsea Ballerini and Eric Church for Best Contemporary Album, writing:
“There’s no real concept or argument being made here by one of country music’s most singular artists. No grand plan behind it all. Childers’ album is just a rousing, joyful, tearaway collection of feel-good songs that are his most unusual and spirited to date. He tears into new country classic “Eatin’ Big Time”, asking his listeners to imagine the chance “to hold and blow a thousand f***ing dollars”. He destroys his enemies in the throwdown romp that is “Bitin’ List”. Then he takes a free-wheeling trip to Australia on travel epic “Down Under”.
“But it’s the tortured bluesy “Nose on the Grindstone” that will have you frozen to the spot: “keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills” he advises, pairing the images of hard work and graft with opioid addiction. It’s an album for wanderers and roamers. As he put it simply in a GQ interview earlier this year, “It’s observations from a travelling hillbilly.””

A Grammys 2025 recap
Kanye West appeared determined to generate headlines of his own as he turned up with his wife, Bianca Censori, who dropped her fur coat on the red carpet to reveal she was wearing virtually nothing underneath. After the couple were seen posing for photographs, conflicting reports emerged as to whether they had been “escorted out” of the ceremony. However, it is understood that they simply left after their red carpet appearance.
Jog your memory with my recap of all the biggest talking points at the 2025 Grammys:
