Spielberg is the top-grossing director of all time, from E. T. and Indiana Jones to Jurassic Park and Jaws. Surprisingly, he has won just three Academy Awards, Best Director and Best Picture for Schindler's List as well as Best Director for Saving Private Ryan. In some ways, like Alfred Hitchcock, who had to accept an honorary Oscar, Spielberg's films are simply too popular.
Spielberg joins producing greats including Clint Eastwood, Billy Wilder, Brian Grazer, Jerry Bruckheimer, Stanley Kramer, Saul Zaentz, Roger Corman, Laura Ziskin, Kathleen Kennedy, and last years recipient Scott Rudin. Spielberg commented:
David O. Selznick is a true legend in the producing field, and I am tremendously honored to be associated with his name and to join the company of so many distinguished filmmakers who have received this accolade. I am extremely grateful to the Producers Guild.

Well, finally, after years of being overlooked....not. New Rule: Steven Spielberg needs to make another great movie and then apologize for producing all 3 Transformer movies before being given an award.
