Well, it's hard to argue with their choice, but I think I was hoping for something a little more...surprising.
Discuss.

Well, you have to get the obvious guys before you can move onto the more obscure, but they seem to have wasted time in previous years with dubious choices such as Robin Williams and Barbra Streisand.
Spielberg should have gotten it a long time ago...
What pisses me off is that Spielberg was going to be honored before but he turned it down and is now getting it for publicity for Indiana Jones and his other stuff....I thought it should have gone to an Actress since its been 8 years (!!!!!)....
Yeah, and since Robin Williams has once recieved it, I'm going to go ahead and discredit the entire operation.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on No Country, Andy...once I see it. You should make a discussion thread once it hits wide release. I may skip school that day to see it at noon.
