Congratulations to the Hollywood Hall of Famer, Mr. Steven Spielberg.

@@darveaircraig-grady1394 indeed!

I love Spielberg but speak for yourself. Not everyone loves his films - and that's ok. You don't speak for everyone else. You only speak for yourself.

I love Spielberg films generally but this movie was awful. Boring long art house film. The mom character was a kooky nutcase

No one saw his movie btw

In 1999, Steven Spielberg said he had been thinking of directing a film about his childhood for some time. Titled I'll Be Home, the project was originally written by his sister Anne Spielberg. He explained, "My big fear is that my mom and dad won't like it and will think it's an insult and won't share my loving yet critical point of view about what it was like to grow up with them." In 2002, Spielberg said he was nervous about making I'll Be Home: "It's so close to my life and so close to my family - I prefer to make films that are more analogous. But a literal story about my family will take a lot of courage. I still think I make personal movies even if they do look like big commercial popcorn films." Spielberg later revealed in November 2022 that his parents had also been "nagging" him to make a film about their lives prior to their deaths. In 2004, while working on Munich, Spielberg told screenwriter Tony Kushner his life story, with Kushner telling him in response: "Someday you're going to have to make a film about this." Coincidentally, a line referencing Spielberg appears in Kushner's play Angels in America. The 80-90 page plot outline for The Fabelmans was worked on in 2019 during filming of Spielberg's 2021 film version of West Side Story. Work on the screenplay for The Fabelmans began on October 2, 2020, during the lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and lasted for two months, ending in December 2020. Kushner reflected on the experience, saying, "We wrote three days a week, four hours a day, and we finished the script in two months: by leagues the fastest I've finished anything. It was a blast. I loved it." Spielberg, at that time, felt that the climate caused by the pandemic convinced him that the time was now right to make the film, saying, "I started seriously thinking, if I had to make one movie I haven't made yet, something that I really want to do on a very personally atomic level, what would that be? And there was only one story I really wanted to tell ... My life with my mom and dad taught me a lesson, which I hope this film in a small way imparts ... Which is, when does a young person in a family start to see his parents as human beings? In my case, because of what happened between the ages of 7 and 18, I started to appreciate my mom and dad not as parents but as real people." He gave drafts of the script to his sisters, Sue and Nancy, to ensure that their memories be included in the story and that the details in the film were portrayed as accurately as possible. On the meaning behind the family name "Fabelman", Kushner (who came up with that name) said, "Spielberg means play-mountain; 'spieler' is an actor in Yiddish, and a 'spiel' can be speech or can be a play ... I wanted to have some of that meaning, and I've always liked the German word 'fabel,' which means fable. And because the movie is autobiographical for Steven but it isn't an autobiography, it's not a documentary, so there's a fictional element as well. So I thought that 'Fabelman' was a nod to that." Principal photography began in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in Los Angeles on July 17, 2021, lasting for 59 days until ending on September 27, 2021.

Oliver Stone has won 3 Golden Globes for Directing.. but didn't win his 3rd Oscar in 1991 for JFK. Don't be suprised if James Cameron wins at the Oscars. Nobody has won 3 or more Oscars for Directing in a [very] long time so don't be suprised if he dosen't get a 3rd win.

@@patr70 The Oscar voters has better opinion than anybody else and I trust them.

@@jwelch5742 Well.. it's too bad, how [bad] movies in general have been the last 5 years. The 80s, 90s, and 00s, were [loaded] with good movies. I am amazed at how absolutely forgettable and boring most movies have been the last 5 years. 🤤😨

@@patr70 This is why I don't trust anymore. So people don't appreciated the Oscars winners like me.

He's a humble pedophile 🤣

Hey idk if this is weird but can i get your instagram? You're pretty🫠

Steven Spielberg won 9 Golden Globe Awards. It say at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Steven_Spielberg#Golden_Globe_Awards.

@@jwelch5742 9? What a legend!

But enough about Tommy Wiseau.

he's not the greatest, far from it actually, but perhaps the most priveleged.

He doesn’t deserve an Oscar for this movie. I think The Daniels are more deserving.

He got it last year.

I know I’m so upset I missed it I’m so mad really what the f?!

not even close

Oh, come on. JC adores him too and they’re friends. You should see the long form DGA interview they did together celebrating Spielberg’s career to get a better sense of him these days.

Fourth Oscar. He won Best Picture and Best Director for Schindler's List and Best Director for Saving Private Ryan

Make that, 6 Oscars.

I’m just thinking you don’t EVER cut off Steven.

Yes… no chance they would play him off

Yeah, it’s disappointing he won’t return to direct Indiana Jones 5.

@@laurajones1773 I Honestly am not impressed with the Indiana Jones 5 Trailer compared to kingdom of the crystal skull 2008 trailer there's just no comparison in my opinion

There's a reason.

@@NeoConnor1 are you suggesting that Spielberg is secretly the piano player?

No. Because he has more than earned the right to finish his speech without interruption.

When the movie won Best Drama, he did.

Just be happy that it wasn't James Cameron.

The Daniels made a movie that Spielberg hasn't made in over 10 years

@Justin 0ldman that's exactly what a groomer would say

@Justin 0ldman Oh. You're one of THOSE guys

It was a lost cause from the start. Hollywood loves a circlejerk movie like the Fablemans.

Eh. They got the Oscar. Steven deserved this.

Agreed. Plus EEAAO was robbed of winning Best Motion Picture Comedy/Musical.

I hope James Cameron wins for Avatar.

A movie being a flop dosent necessarily mean it’s a bad film

I liked it but tbh I get why most a lot weren’t into it. It’s more of a critics choice
