From pilot to finale, Burrows directed every episode of the series over eight seasons. "I had a great time on Will & Grace. That's why I did it. It made me laugh every week." THE HORROR: 2000 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Steven Spielberg directs Liam Neeson in Schindler's List (1993) on location in Poland. Spielberg said he waited to direct the film until he felt he had "the craft and emotional information to be able to acquit the Holocaust in an honorable way." MEAN STREETS: 1993 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Sidney Lumet (right) with Treat Williams as a narcotics detective battling police corruption in Prince of the City (1981). On shooting in New York, Lumet said, "When you shoot here, it's like sitting on a big lid ready to blow sky high. And this energy reaches the screen."
