Spielberg Buried In Gold

Remember a couple of weeks ago when we noted how crowded the Lifetime Achievement field is getting already for 2011? Well, add another huge name to the list: Steven Spielberg, who already has three Oscars, a Thalberg, 3 Golden Globes and a Cecil B DeMille, 4 Bafta honors of varying sorts, 2 NBR honors, an honorary Cesar, 11 Emmys of different types, 3 DGAs and a lifetime achievement, at least 1 award from every critics organization, and dozens upon dozens of other prizes will be adding to his trophy collection in January. He will be honored by the Producers Guild of America with the David O. Selznick award on Saturday January 21st, 2012 three days before the Oscar nominations are announced. (Just in case War Horse isn't Oscar worthy?)
This will be the 8th time Spielberg has been feted by the PGA. He's won 4 times competively and received 3 additional special honors from that guild. If you melt down all his statues to form one big one how big would it be? Bigger than a mechanical shark named Bruce that's for sure! Maybe even bigger than a T-Rex?
In other lifetime achievement style honors...
We forgot to mention that Glenn Close's first tribute of 2011 (we're betting more will follow) happened over Emmy weekend at the San Sebastian Film Festival.
She looks happy.
Little known fact: All gold plated statues contain gooey centers filled with endorphin rushes, chocolate, and melatonin.

Because Spielberg really, REALLY needed one last door-stopper for the second maid's broom closet in his third mansion....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
"All the awards in the world can’t fill the spot where love goes", a young actress once told S. Spielberg.
She is still missing.
And that award Glenn was given is kinky!
heh. it'd be cool if we got some random lifetime achievement awards once in awhile. I mean maybe not quite as random as those honorary Oscars each year but still more random. like how about from people who are still alive but don't work anymore. it'd be a treat to see them. there are plenty of them. and it's not like steven spielberg can help the "ratings" of a night that isn't aired like the pGA?
LOL. The award is a mini-version of this.

Glenn Close looks FABULOUS! She certainly deserves many more honors.
Hell, I know you're not a Spielberg lover, Nathaniel, but the guy has three Oscars, not two. He won for producing and directing Schindler's List, and won another one for directing Saving Private Ryan.
gustavo -- right you are. oopsie. i saw "3" and i subtracted one thinking they were talkjing about the Thalberg. Oopsie. fixed.
wow! if he have all these award now, can you imagine the amount of awards that will come when he is dying! o.O
