Some people collect art.
Others books or dolls. Steven Spielberg collects awards, and he's soon going to need a separate room to house his prize possessions. The Oscar-winning director is set to receive yet another honor on Thursday, this one from the German government. According to published reports, Spielberg will receive the Knight Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit, the country's highest civilian honor, from German President Roman Herzog Thursday night at a reception in Berlin. The medal is in recognition of the director's 1993 Holocaust drama Schindler's List , which took home seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.
