Straight Outta Compton just nabbed a 2016 SAG Awards nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Cast.

“Not to sound cliché but we worked really, really hard to get this on the screen,” F. Gary told People about the nod. “It took us years to find this cast and we put them through a lot to deliver those performances and they delivered. So to be acknowledged and amongst a lot of great artists and a lot of great films, we honestly didn’t expect it.”
