Million Dollar Baby earned Paul Haggis his first Oscar. The film, directed by Clint Eastwood, tells the story of a down-on-her-luck boxer (Hilary Swank) who is trained by a grizzled coach (Eastwood). Haggis won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for his adaptation of the short story by F.X. Toole. The film also won Best Picture and Best Director for Eastwood, and Best Actress for Swank.
