SAG Awards - Congratulations to The Million Dollar Girl!

I don't blog much on film (a few posts are here) but I am glad to see Hillary Swank won the Best Actress award for "Million Dollar Baby" at the SAG awards.  She well deserves it for an outstanding performance of an aspiring boxer.

I don't care much for boxing, but her portrayal of a struggling boxer gave me far more respect for those who pursue it.  Morgan Freeman did very well reprising his supporting actor role to Clint Eastwood (much like Unforgiven) and was rewarded with an SAG award as well.

"Million Dollar Baby" wrestles with some powerful and important social issues.  I disagree with where the film ends up but appreciate the emotional and spiritual struggle one of the protagonists goes through.
