Baby wins Directors Guild of America honor

Eastwood

Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby" was declared filmmaker of the year by his peers on Saturday, winning the Directors Guild of America honor. Eastwood's win eclipsed Martin Scorsese's chance for a win. With the Howard Hughes epic "The Aviator," Scorsese earned his sixth guild nomination for best director, but he has lost every time. "Million Dollar Baby" stars Eastwood as a boxing trainer and reluctant mentor to a fighter (Hilary Swank) who becomes a champion in the ring before her life takes a tragic turn. Morgan Freeman co-stars as an ex-boxer. Eastwood offered thanks to Swank and Freeman, saying their presence made his job as director a delight.
