Fans have always known that Steven Spielberg is one of the greatest filmmakers, but the 2026 Grammys gave him an award he had never won before. At 79 years old, the legendary director received his first Grammy.
The film is about the life and work of John Williams, the famous composer who made music for many of Spielberg’s movies.
This Grammy was very special because it completed Spielberg’s EGOT status—he now has an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award. Fans and fellow artists praised this achievement as a well-deserved honor for his lifelong contributions to movies, music, and entertainment.
Even though Spielberg has shaped Hollywood for decades through his directing, storytelling, and producing, winning a Grammy adds another important award to his career. It also shows that his influence goes beyond films and reaches music and other areas of art.
