Preview:
- Filmmaker Steven Spielberg has achieved EGOT status.
- He’s now the 21st person to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.
- Robert Lopez is the only double-EGOT winner.
You would be forgiven for thinking that he was already there given his career to date, but thanks to a Grammy win as one of the producers on ‘Music by John Williams,’ a tribute to the storied career (and the director’s longtime friend and collaborator), Steven Spielberg has joined the EGOT club.
For those thinking, “EWhat?” it means those who have won the four major awards, an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.
“The man behind the maestro.”
Release Date: Nov 1, 2024
Run Time: 1 hr 46 min
Spielberg becomes the 21st person to achieve the illustrious status (see more below).
Who else has become an EGOT?
Steven Spielberg in ‘Mr. Scorsese,’ premiering October 17, 2025 on Apple TV+.
The list of those who have won all four so far? Deep breath: Richard Rodgers, Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, John Gielgud, Audrey Hepburn, Marvin Hamlisch, Jonathan Tunick, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols, Whoopi Goldberg, Scott Rudin, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, John Legend, Alan Menken, Jennifer Hudson, Viola Davis, Elton John, Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
But despite his many awards, Spielberg has some way to go to compete with ‘Frozen’ co-songwriter Robert Lopez, who has managed to win them all at least twice.
When will Spielberg’s next movie arrive?
The director has his latest movie, sci-fi thriller ‘Disclosure Day’, due on June 12 this year.
