A tribute video was created to honor Steven Spielberg when he received the 2012 David O. Selznick Achievement Award from the Producers Guild. The tribute highlights all the films that Spielberg served as Producer, Executive Producer and Director/Producer.

The great video was edited by Todd Sandler. Watch it below:...
