Of the past 16 Lead Actor/Actress winners 10 of them have been playing real people. (That means 62.5% of winners)
- In 2007 Marion Cotillard played French singer Ediath Piaf and won the Oscar for Best Actress.
- In 2006 Helen Mirren played Queen Elizabeth II and won the Oscar for Best Actress.
- In 2006 Forrest Whitaker played Ugandan dictator Idi Amin and won the Oscar for Best Actor

- In 2002 Nicole Kidman played author Virginia Woolf and won the Best Actress oscar.
- In 2000 Julia Roberts plays the unlikely activist Erin Brokovich and won the Best Actress oscar.
The exceptions, Daniel Day Lewis (There Will Be Blood), Hillary Swank (Million Dollar Baby), Sean Penn (Mystic River), Denzel Washington (Training Day), Halle Berry (Monster's Ball), Russell Crowe (Gladiator).
I feel like 2008's possible male leads are particularly bio-pic heavy, so there is certainly a lot of potential for this trend to continue.
