Steven Spielberg, at the age of 79, has officially joined the elite EGOT club, marking a significant achievement in his illustrious career.
His EGOT was completed with a Grammy win for producing 'Music by John Williams,' a documentary honoring his longtime collaborator.

The industry has responded with widespread celebration. Notable figures like Rachel Zegler, who starred in Spielberg's 'West Side Story,' and fellow EGOT winner Jennifer Hudson, have shared their enthusiasm and congratulations.
