After legendary film director Steven Spielberg won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Film, he became one of only a few dozen people in history to win all four Grand Slam awards: the Emmy, Grammy, Oscars, and Tony Awards (EGOT).
Steven Spielberg, the 79-year-old filmmaker, celebrated one of the biggest achievements in the music industry's history by winning his first Grammy Award for Best Music Film for his documentary "Music by John Williams " (2024).

For Spielberg, this Grammy is the final piece of the puzzle that completes his path to the greatest awards, after he previously won 3 Oscars, 12 Emmy Awards, and one Tony Award for producing the Broadway musical A Strange Loop.
