Who is in the Egot winners' club? All 22 members, from Steven Spielberg to Viola Davis

Film director Steven Spielberg is the latest star to join the coveted Egot winners' club, an elite group of creative talents who have won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards.

The 79-year-old scooped Best Music Film for Music By John Williams at the awards, held on Sunday, having previously won three Oscars, four Primetime Emmys, seven daytime Emmys and a Tony, which he received as a producer of the musical A Strange Loop.

He is the 22nd person to achieve the feat, joining the likes of Mel Brooks, Audrey Hepburn and Whoopi Goldberg.

"Thank you to all the Grammy voters, whose recognition of Music By John Williams means the world to me," Spielberg said in a statement.

While the likes of Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli and James Earl Jones could be considered Egot winners, after winning honorary awards at one of the relevant ceremonies, the title is typically reserved for those who have scooped prizes in competitive categories.

Here are all the stars who have been awarded Egot status:

1. Richard Rodgers

Egot completed: 1962

The American composer became the first person to win all four awards in 1962. Known for his work in musical theatre, Rodgers – who has more than 900 song credits to his name – is behind the soundtracks for productions such as The King and I and The Sound of Music, written together with Oscar Hammerstein II. He has one Oscar, for a song from State Fair, one Emmy, for Winston Churchill: The Valiant Years, six Tonys and two Grammys.

2. Helen Hayes

Egot completed: 1977

The American actress was the first woman to score the Egot title, with her Grammy for Best Spoken Word Recording for Great American Documents.
