Steven Spielberg has won his first Grammy award, making him just the 22nd artist in history to become an Egot winner — an artist with an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.

The 79-year-old won the Grammy for best music film for the documentary Music for John Williams, which he produced. Directed by Laurent Bouzereau, the film explores Williams’ seven-decade career as a composer, writing scores that have become synonymous with some of cinema’s biggest franchises: Williams has composed the score for nine of the top 25 highest-grossing films of all time at the US box office.
