Spielberg's 2015 dramatic thriller Bridge of Spies, starring Tom Hanks, received six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture with Mark Rylance winning for Best Supporting Actor. He was also an executive producer on Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, which together have earned more than $2.8 billion worldwide. His most recent projects include The Post, a political drama inspired by the Washington Post's first female publisher, Katharine Graham (Meryl Streep), and its driven editor, Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks), which won the AFI Award and garnered two Oscar nominations: Best Picture and Best Actress for Streep; and Ready Player One, a worldwide success based on the popular science fiction novel by Ernest Cline. Apart from his filmmaking work, Spielberg has also devoted his time and resources to many philanthropic causes. He established the Righteous Persons Foundation using all his profits from Schindler's List. He also founded the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation which, in 2006, became the USC Shoah Foundation— The Institute for Visual History and Education. Spielberg will be the 14th CAS Filmmaker honoree. Past honorees have been Joe Wright, Jon Favreau, Jay Roach, Richard Linklater, Edward Zwick, Jonathan Demme, Rob Marshall, Taylor Hackford, Henry Selick, Paul Mazursky, Bill Condon, Gil Cates, and Quentin Tarantino. • Lincoln Steven Spielberg directing E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Raiders of the Lost Ark Steven Spielberg directing Jurassic Park Opening page photo of Steven Spielberg by Brian Bowen Smith
