Trivia: Known for films such as “E.T.,” which director is an honorary knight?
Martin Scorsese
Francis Coppola
Spike Lee
Steven Spielberg
The correct answer is Steven Spielberg
So why is this answer correct? : In early 2001, American film director Steven Spielberg received an honorary knighthood for his “unique and outstanding contribution to international film” and especially his contributions to the British film industry. Since Spielberg is not a British citizen, the award was honorary and his name is not styled with “Sir,” but he can put the letters “KBE” — Knight of the British Empire — after his name.
