9 of This Year's Oscar-Nominated Films That Are Based on True Stories

Named after their 1988 hit track, rap group N.W.A. takes center stage in Straight Outta Compton, which is nominated for best original screenplay. Original members Ice Cube and Dr. Dre produced the movie, which remained pretty true to how things really went down when the group formed in 1986. Fun fact: Ice Cube's son, O'Shea Jackson Jr., played him in the movie.
