how do you get the lights to not do a star pattern? polarized filter?

The star pattern is a result of the aperture.  The smaller the aperture, the more defined the star pattern.  Knowing Nick, this was probably shot with fast glass at F5.6 or less.  The up and down streaking of the light is unusual though.
