ET's Mark Steines joined a host of A-listers including Cher, Michael Douglas and Harrison Ford as the American Film Institute honored Oscar-winning director Mike Nichols with its annual Life Achievement Award in L.A. on Thursday night.

You have to put it all out there because you never can be great unless you’re prepared to look stupid… He was so wonderful to me."

He added, "Now we’re getting back up to where it should be: someone like Mike Nichols." Read More »
