Cyrano de Bergerac Nominated in 1990 and won in 1950. Not a lot of people know that the original play is based on a real person, but it is.

Oh, and Macbeth is another play that’s very loosely based on a real person. Denzel Washington was nominated for playing him a few years ago. I don’t know if any other film versions of it have gotten a nomination, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

I’ll add Cyrano, but leave out Macbeth as it’s so loosely based on reality.
