The film follows the Williams sisters rise on the tennis circuit under the guidance of their father and coach, Richard Williams.

Will Smith, who portrays the tennis legends' dad, also scored a nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role.

Saniyya Sidney, who plays Venus in the film, told PEOPLE on the red carpet that she and costar Demi Singleton, who plays Serena Williams, still stay in touch with the Williams sisters even after filming. "Those are our big sisters now, which is just crazy to say," she said. "That's family, for sure."

The Williams sisters opened up to Harper's Bazaar earlier this month about the film.

"I don't think people even thought about what happened before we turned pro," Venus said.

"This isn't a movie about tennis," Serena added. "This is a movie about family."

Serena revealed that there are more stories to tell about her family and compares it to the Marvel universe.

"I think King Richard is like Iron Man and that there still are other stories around it," she told Harper's Bazaar. "The next, obviously, would be the Venus story, and then there's always the story about our other three sisters, and then there's like a mom, and then there's the Serena story."

She continued, "When I look at it, I see it just encompassing this whole superhero kind of thing."
