A tribute to the Master, a great Cinematic icon!?

Question

Hey Everyone! This is just a small tribute to one of the greatest, if not the greatest Directors of all time, in my opinion! His name is Steven Spielberg and he has won 3 Oscars and been nominated for 12. He has also won 3 Golden Globe Awards, having been nominated for eleven; 3 Directors Guild of America Awards, of which he has been nominated for ten and 2 BAFTA Awards, having been nominated for 9. He has also been nominated for a Golden Palm Award at the Cannes Film Festival; has recieved 8 Emmy Awards, having been nominated for a staggering 18 and is also the recipient of the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award.

Steven Spielberg has recieved crtical acclaim across the globe, not just as a Director, but as a writer/ producer and prolific film maker and is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential Film Industry figures in Cinematic history. Today, his films continue to enthrall audiences throughout the world!

Opinions & discussions welcome!

Answer 1

You forgot the man who inspired Spielberg and I am sure Spielberg would agree that this man is still greater, but because he was Japanese, he will never get the recognition he deserves.  Akira Kurosawa is still the greatest director of all time, though he never garnered the awards he so richly deserved and Spielberg would agree he deserved more.
