Steven Allan Spielberg, KBE (born December 18, 1946) is an American film director. He has won four Academy Awards (including an Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award). While his films have been derided as the archetype of modern Hollywood blockbuster film-making (commercialism over artistic purposes) by some of his critics he ranks among the most successful filmmakers in history, in terms of both critical acclaim and popular success.
First coming to attention directing adventure films, Spielberg is noted in recent years for his willingness to tackle emotionally powerful issues, such as the Holocaust, slavery, war, and terrorism. He is now the most financially successful motion picture director of all time. He has directed and/or produced a number of major box office hits, giving him great influence in Hollywood. As of 2004, he has been listed in Premiere and other magazines as the most "powerful" and "influential" figure in the motion picture industry, and at the end of the 20th century LIFE named him the most influential person of his generation. *
He has been nominated for six Academy Awards for Best Director, winning two of them (Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan), and seven of the films he directed were up for the Best Picture Oscar (Schindler's List won).
