Director says Grammy for best music film ‘means the world to me’ as he pays tribute to composer and collaborator
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.

Three decades after having his Grammy rescinded as part of the notorious duo, he is a nominee once more, for the audiobook of his unflinching memoir. ‘I had to tell my story,’ he says
It may not be the most auspicious way to start an interview, but I have to ask: Fab, is it you reading your audiobook? Please confirm you aren’t just a pretty face hired to front it?
Fabrice Maxime Sylvain Morvan considers my question, then laughs. I’m teasing: it definitely is Morvan narrating You Know It’s True: The Real Story of Milli Vanilli. But as the recording of his book has been nominated for best audiobook, narration and storytelling recording at the 2026 Grammy awards – and Milli Vanilli are the only winners to have had their Grammy (given in 1990 for best new artist) rescinded, due to the revelation that the duo didn’t sing on their records – I do need confirmation.

Optus Stadium, Perth
Premiering his new Loop tour in Australia, the crowd-pleasing British singer-songwriter navigates a few teething issues in an otherwise assured stadium outing
Before Ed Sheeran sets foot on stage, his origin story is already rolling. A pre-recorded video looms across the giant screen, as he narrates his own ascent: “I just pushed and pushed. I was so focused on seeing how far I could take being an acoustic singer-songwriter from Suffolk.”
Then the screen cuts. A hidden platform rises from the centre of the audience and Sheeran appears, charging into his 2011 track You Need Me, I Don’t Need You.
