Will the Academy keep up its love affair for biopics and true stories?

The Academy of Motion Pictures’ love for true stories is undeniable and a look at the winners over the years will give you an idea that biopics and tales of underdog achievements are, more often than not, frontrunners for the awards. In the last couple of decades, for instance, pretty much every year has had a biopic or true story win either Best Picture or acting nods. And even though the nominations for the 91st Oscar Awards are still a week away, chances are that the trend will continue, with the wins at the recent Golden Globe Awards likely to be an indication.

Bohemian Rhapsody

, which was adjudged Best Motion Picture-Drama, is based on Queen frontman, the late Freddie Mercury, and got Rami Malek, who played the singer, a Best Actor nod. Christian Bale, who won the Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, did so for his role as former US Vice President Dick Cheney in Vice. Olivia Colman’s win was for playing Queen Anne in the historical period film, The Favourite, while Green Book, which was adjudged Best Picture-Musical or Comedy and got Mahershala Ali a Supporting Actor award is based on the relationship between jazz musician Don Shirley and his driver, Tony Lip. Will the Academy also follow suit? Only time will tell, but we have a strong feeling that the biopic/true story trend is here to stay. Here's a look at a few of the biopics/true story.
