Swank won her second Oscar for her performance as a working class woman who pays a heavy price for her determination to become a boxing champion.

"I don't know what I did to deserve this," said Swank in her acceptance speech. "I'm just a girl from a trailer park who had a dream."

Swank won the best actress Oscar in 1999 for "Boys Don't Cry."

"Million Dollar Baby" won an Oscar earlier in the evening when Morgan Freeman was honored as Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
