2017 best picture nominees based on true stories

One more is 'Fences'. This film is based on the play of the same name by August Wilson. It's set in the 1950s and shows the life of an African - American family. It delves into themes like family, race, and dreams, and is based on real - life situations and characters that were common during that era in the United States.

It's hard to give an exact number as it varies each year. But usually, there are a few nominees that draw inspiration from real events.

There are some great movies here. 'Hidden Figures' is remarkable as it showcases the often - overlooked contributions of African - American women in the space program. 'Hacksaw Ridge' is a war movie with a difference, centered around Desmond Doss's selfless service. 'Manchester by the Sea' is a deeply moving film about a man dealing with his past while facing new family responsibilities. 'Fences' is a character - driven story that looks at family dynamics within an African - American context, all of which are based on real - life events or situations.

One popular one is 'The Story of Ruby Bridges'. It tells the true story of Ruby Bridges, a young African - American girl who was the first to integrate an all - white elementary school in the South. Another is 'I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark'. It's based on the real - life story of the remarkable Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her fight for equality. And 'We Are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball' which is about the Negro League Baseball, a real and important part of baseball history.

It's really tough to tell. The picture alone might not provide enough clues. Maybe it's inspired by a real event but has some artistic modifications.

It's hard to say for sure. Sometimes pictures can be staged or fictionalized, so we can't always assume it's a true story just by looking at a girl in a picture.

No, it isn't. 'The Dirty Picture' is a fictional creation.

Well, to determine if the girl in the picture is part of a true story, we'd need more information. Maybe there's a caption or some background details that could give us a clue, but without that, it's a mystery.

It's hard to say for sure. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. There aren't always clear indicators.

Hard to say. There's no clear indication if she is or not.
