I am only posting this because of the use of the phrase "gushing" that was used in the article. Swank offered these comments to her esteemed director, at a time when the spotlight was all hers to soak up.

Swank offered gushing praise for her director and co-star, Clint Eastwood.

"I bow down to you," Swank said to the 74-year-old Eastwood. "You are a talent beyond compare. If I'm half the person you are and half the talent you are when I'm 74, I will know that I've accomplished something great."

As a big supporter of the movie and the actors in MDB, the comment isn't really unexpected. Didn't she make similar comments in a previous awards ceremony, probably the Golden Globes.

Also looking forward to her next acceptance speech on Oscar night.
