Levinson was awarded the 1988 Best Director Oscar for the multiple award-winning "Rain Man," starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. In 1987, he directed Robin Willams in the comedy "Good Morning, Vietnam," which went on to become one of the year's most acclaimed and popular movies. In 1991 "Bugsy", which was directed and produced by Barry Levinson, was nominated for ten Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director. Born and raised in Baltimore, Levinson has used his hometown as the setting for three widely praised features:"Diner", the semi-autobiographical comedy-drama that marked his directorial debut; "Tin Men", starring Danny DeVito and Richard Dreyfuss as warring aluminum siding salesmen; and "Avalon", in which his native city takes center stage through the recollections of an immigrant family. After attending American University in Washington, D.C., Levinson moved to Los Angeles, where he began acting as well as writing and performing comedy routines. He then went on to write several television variety shows, including "The Marty Feldman Comedy Machine," which originated in England, "The Lohman and Barkley Show," "The Tim Conway Show" and "The Carol Burnett Show." A meeting with Mel Brooks led Levinson to collaborate with the veteran comedian on the features "Silent Movie" and "High Anxiety," latter additionally notable for his film acting debut. As a screenwriter, Levinson has received three Academy Award nominations, for "...And Justice for All," "Diner" and, "Avalon." Levinson's other directorial credits include "The Natural," "Young Sherlock Holmes," "Toys," "Jimmy Hollywood," "Disclosure," "Sleepers," "Sphere" and "Wag the Dog". Barry returned to Baltimore to film the "Homicide: Life on the Street" television series. His work on this critically acclaimed drama earned him an Emmy for Best Individual Director of a Drama Series. The series has also received two Peabody Awards, two Writers Guild Awards and an Excellence in Quality Television Founders Award for the 1994 and 1995 seasons. In 1996 the series won the Nancy Susan Reynolds Award for outstanding portrayal of sexual responsibility in a dramatic series as well as a PRISM Commendation. In 1998 the series garnered a TCA Award for program of the year and drama of the year. Barry's feature "Sleepers" (1996), a film based on the best selling book by Lorenzo Carcaterra, starring Robert DeNiro, Brad Pitt, Jason Patric, Kevin Bacon and Dustin Hoffman garnered critical acclaim and box office success. The close of 1997 saw Barry at his most prolific, releasing two films nearly back to back, "Wag The Dog" and "Sphere". "Wag The Dog" a political satire written by Hilary Henkin and David Mamet was nominated for two Academy Awards. "Sphere" (1998), is a science-fiction film adapted from the Michael Crichton novel and stars Sharon Stone, Samuel L. Jackson, and marks the fourth collaboration with Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man, Sleepers, Wag The Dog). Until 1998 Levinson produced films through his production company Baltimore Pictures, Inc. Critically acclaimed releases include "Quiz Show", "Donnie Brasco", and "The Second Civil War" (HBO). At the beginning of 1998 Barry Levinson partnered with Paula Weinstein, forming Baltimore/Spring Creek Pictures. Together they produced "Analyze This" (1999), a comedy starring Robert DeNiro and Billy Crystal, which opened to instant box office success. Barry became one of Variety's "Billion Dollar Directors", as well as ShoWest's "Director of the Year" in 1998. Barry was honored in February 1999, with a Creative Achievement Award by the13th Annual American Comedy Awards. In May, 1999, American University of Washington D.C. conferred upon Barry, the degree of Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa, for his distinguished work in the field of Communications and his defining impact on the motion picture and television industry. Barry was honored for his commitment to the craft of filmmaking, his dedication to telling insightful stories, his exquisite sensitivity to the details of life as we live it, and his gifts and accomplishments as a director. Barry and Baltimore Pictures received the 1999 Humanitas award for "Homicide: Life on the Street" Shades of Gray episode. Currently he is working on his fourth Baltimore feature, "Liberty Heights". This humorous, touching drama captures the spirit of change in Baltimore circa 1954, addressing issues of race, class and religion. "Liberty Heights" is slated to be released fall, 1999.
