    I wouldn't say finally honored, he's won Oscar's for most of his big Lucas/Spielberg stuff, and been nominated for all the others, plus who knows how many Golden Globes, Grammys, etc.

    Okay, I had to go look, 'cause I wuz curious:

    5 Oscars; 5 Saturns (Science Fiction Awards) Plus their Lifetime Acheivement Award; 6 BAFTAs (British Oscars); 12! BMIs (Film & T.V. music award); 2 Emmys, 3 Golden Globes; 9! Grammys; and a handful of sundry others...

    Good grief, I had no idea it was gonna be quite so long, he's got to have one very shiny shelf in his home.

    It was cool to see him there at the top (I would've given it for Raiders myself, but that's just me). I'm also glad to see Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrman, and Elmer Bernstein in the top ten, but I think Ennio Morricone should have been up a little higher. Come on, The Good , the Bad, and the Ugly, how can that not be considered a classic?... Unless it was just for American movies, then I can see how it wouldn't be there. There's some seriously cool music on that list, movie scores are my favorite musical whatchthingy, if you hadn't already guessed. :cool:

    I think it would be a lot cooler if the band AFI honored John Williams. It would leave a thousand Goth kids speechless.
