Steven Spielberg has become the latest member of the elite EGOT club after winning his first Grammy Award. The acclaimed director earned the honor as a producer on the documentary Music by John Williams, which took home best music film at the 2026 Grammys in Los Angeles. This victory completes his collection of competitive Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards.
John Williams, later famous for scoring Star Wars and Jurassic Park, wrote the original theme song for the unaired pilot of Gilligan's Island. The nearly two-minute track featured lyrics sung by creator Sherwood Schwartz in a Caribbean accent. The pilot, titled Marooned, led to significant changes before the series aired.
