      Fact vs. Fiction: 5 Oscar Movies Criticized for Taking Creative License

      Four of the eight movies nominated for Best Picture this year are adapted from true stories (American Sniper, The Imitation Game, Selma, and The Theory of Everything), and all of them, as well as one of major acting contenders (Foxcatcher), have come under fire from the fact-checking brigade.  Here’s an overview of the various complaints lodged against these Oscar contenders.
