Morgan Freeman: What You Don’t Know About The Beloved Actor

Academy Win

Although it’s hard to believe that it took so long, Freeman didn’t even win an Academy Award until the 77th Academy Awards in 2005. Of course, you recall he won Best Supporting Actor for playing Eddie “Scrap-Iron” Dupris in Million Dollar Baby. Before that, he had accumulated three nominations.

Previously, he was nominated for supporting actor in Street Smart and leading actor for both Driving Miss Daisy and the classic, The Shawshank Redemption.
