Steven Spielberg Nabs the Final Infinity Stone: How the Movie Maestro Snagged His EGOT & Left Hollywood Gagging

Added on February 1, 2026 inMusic News Cards

Is it just me, or does the cosmos have a wicked sense of humor this season? Jupiter’s been hopping from sign to sign like it’s speed-dating—but apparently, even the planets are pausing to applaud Steven Spielberg, who just achieved EGOT status with a shiny new Grammy. Honestly, was there ever a doubt? Spielberg collects awards like most of us collect unread emails… and now he strolls into that ultra-exclusive EGOT club—where only 21 celestial beings (well, people) have gone before. Somewhere above, the Leo full moon must be grinning extra wide. I keep wondering—if Spielberg decided to direct a biopic of his own star chart, would the Academy just mail him another Oscar out of habit? Dive in for all the gravitational pull behind this legendary filmmaker’s latest cosmic milestone—trust me, there are more plot twists than a retrograde Mercury! LEARN MORE.

Steven Spielberg is officially an EGOT winner.

The iconic filmmaker entered a special awards tier on Sunday with his first Grammy win, received for producing the Music by John Williams doc that won the best music film category. The honor was handed out during the non-televised premiere ceremony ahead of the main show.

Spielberg already has four Emmys (for The Pacific, Band of Brothers, Steven Spielberg Presents: A Pinky & The Brain Christmas and Steven Spielberg Presents Taken), a Tony (for producing A Strange Loop) and three Oscars (for Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan). This is Spielberg’s first Grammy nomination as well as his first win.

“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,” he 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.”

Only 21 people have achieved the status of winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony in their careers, including past Spielberg collaborator Rita Moreno as well as Audrey Hepburn, Mel Brooks, Elton John, Whoopi Goldberg, John Legend, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jennifer Hudson, Viola Davis, composers Richard Rodgers and Alan Menken, and Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

Spielberg has another chance to add to his Oscars total this year as well, serving as a producer on best picture nominee Hamnet.
