Celebrating the Oscars: My Favorite Oscar Moments - 1998

Steven Spielberg is one of my favorite directors, and his two genres, science fiction and historical dramas, are two that I always enjoy. I was not old enough to remember him winning for Schindler's List, but I do remember this win, and it was so well-deserved. Saving Private Ryan remains one of the best war films of all time, and his opening action sequence of D-Day is, according to those veterans who lived through it, is one of the most realistic portrayals ever put on the silver screen.
