This Won An Academy Award?

I don't know if it's just because I don't like boxing or because the movie was crap (I'm going for crap) but I was bored with this pathetic attempt right from the word go. I realise that a Clint Eastwood film isn't worth watching but I wanted to know what everyone was on about. Obviously I am a sucker for punishment.
I knew it was a bad idea as soon as I started to hear Morgan Freeman's raspy voice narrating and then add Eastwood's even raspier voice and I had great difficulty understanding anything these people were on about! It's what I imagine it would be like for a semi deaf person being stuck in a room with people who mumble.
What could've been done in an hour and half was drawn out for over 2 hours. Really drawn out as if trying to force feeling from the viewer by driving them mad. It did succeed. In driving me mad that is. I'd love to take the dvd and burn it, but a piece of tripe like that doesn't deserve my energy.
