Los Angeles.

"The Aviator" had more Oscars, but it was "Million
Dollar Baby" that scored the knockout
punch at the Academy Awards Sunday night.
The Clint Eastwood-directed film about a female boxer, her crusty trainer and the trainer's
ex-boxer, right-hand man won
four Oscars: best picture, best actress, best supporting actor and best
director.
"I saw Sidney Lumet out there, who's 80, and I thought, 'I'm just a
kid,' " said the 74-year-old Eastwood, the oldest director to win an
Oscar.
Producer Albert S. Ruddy, who guided the script into Eastwood's hands,
accepted the award by thanking the people involved with the film. It had
been 32 years since Ruddy's last win -- which was for the legendary "The
Godfather."
Hilary Swank won best actress for "Million Dollar Baby," her second
Oscar in five years.
"I don't know what I did in this life to deserve all this," she said,
on the verge of tears. "I'm just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream. I am
eternally grateful for this great honor." She also paid tribute to her
fellow best actress nominees, her husband, Chad Lowe -- forgotten when she
won for "Boys Don't Cry" in 2000 -- and pretty much everyone who worked on
the film.
When the orchestra started tuning up, she said, "You can't do that. I
haven't gotten to Clint yet."
"Million Dollar Baby" also featured the best supporting actor winner,
Morgan Freeman.
"I want to thank everybody and anybody who ever had anything to do with
the making of this picture," Freeman said, singling out Eastwood
and Swank in an elegant, understated speech.

在美國當地時間27日晚結束的奧斯卡頒獎典禮上，盡管影片《飛行者》獲得的奧斯卡單項獎更多，但《百萬美元寶貝》重拳出擊，捧回了分量最重的奧斯卡大獎。
這部由克林特·伊斯特伍德執導的影片講述了一名女拳擊手和她的“野蠻教練”，以及教練的前得意門生之間的故事，這部影片一舉囊括了最佳影片、最佳女主角、最佳男配角和最佳導演四項大獎。
“當我看到80高齡的西德尼·盧曼特還站在臺上時，我就想，我還是一個小孩呢。”74歲的伊斯特伍德說，他是獲得奧斯卡獎的最年長的導演。
將劇本送到伊斯特伍德手中的制片人艾伯特·S·拉迪在領獎時感謝所有為這部影片付出努力的人。32年前，他曾靠一部傳奇電影《教父》贏得奧斯卡大獎。
希拉里·斯旺克憑借《百萬美元寶貝》獲得本屆奧斯卡最佳女主角獎，這也是她五年來第二次獲得奧斯卡影后頭銜。
“我不知道自己究竟做過什么，能有幸獲得這樣的厚愛。我只是一個從活動住宅里走來，懷有夢想的小女孩罷了。我會永遠對降臨在我身上的這一盛譽心存感激。”她說著差點哭了出來。她還盛贊和她一起獲得最佳女主角提名的其他明星，她的丈夫查德·勞以及參與影片拍攝制作的每一位工作人員。2000年她因《男孩不哭》榮登奧斯卡影后時，竟忘了提及老公的名字。
當管弦樂隊開始演奏時，她說：“你們不能這樣，我還沒講到克林特呢。”
《百萬美元寶貝》還使摩根·弗里曼獲得了最佳男配角獎。
“我想感謝和這部影片有關的每一個人，不論是誰。”弗里曼說。在他樸素得體的致詞中，他特別提到了伊斯特伍德和斯旺克兩人。
