Make this year the movies that have origins, are made from, or are inspired by. or related to a true story both in clear and vague ways It received the same number of nominations as it did 10 years ago at the 86th Academy Awards, and even then Anatomy of a Fall Go out, it’s still the most. Since that Oscar anyway
In 2013, there were 9 films nominated for best picture, and 7 of them were related to “true” stories. American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Nebraska, Philomena, 12 Years a Slave and The Wolf of Wall Street There are only 2 stories that are fiction: Gravity and Her which are all sci-fi movies

Movies based on true events took over the Oscars in 2013, going further than what is usually the norm for the show. Forbes stated that In the history of the Oscars, 25 years before that Of the 143 films nominated for Best Picture, only 40 were based on true events. Even if you take into account movies based on true historical events, such as ‘Titanic’, that’s an average of just 1.6 films per year, although the number has increased in the last four years from the decade before 2013, when movies based on true stories that There were more Oscar nominations than usual. But the average during that period was only 1.2 stories per year.
If you don’t forget that before 2009, there were only five films nominated for Best Picture. You have to look at the number of true-story films that were nominated in that era as well. The numbers are still not comparable to the jump in 2013 because there has never been a year where more than 3 films from this group were nominated. Or if you open your mind a little. Some years, there may be 4 films based on true stories or “inspired by true stories” nominated, but when the opportunity is given to have more than 5 films on the list, the number increases. But it still wasn’t more than 3, which is about the same as the year where there were only 5 nominees. Until 2010, the second year of opening for 10 nominees, movies based on true stories increased to 4.

Even if the latest year is included Anatomy of a Fall And including movies that “qualify” as well, the average is still lower because in 2013 there were only 9 movies nominated, and this year there are 10 movies at full speed.
throughout the past decade Movies based on true stories Five films won the Best Picture Oscar as well as fiction films: 12 Years a Slave, Spotlight, Moonlight, Green Book and Nomadland As for the number of nominees each year since 2013, it is 7-5-3-4-4-6-5-5-2 and 3, making it possible to say that, to be honest, Oscar doesn’t love movies from A special true story Both in terms of winning awards or being nominated. When it’s not superior to a movie based on a fictional story. that perhaps even less
If because the word “true story” is a word that has weight. Especially in public relations and marketing, it is strong and affects the feelings of those who hear it. Until it felt like it was more powerful than the movie on the other side.
