At the end of the day, it's just opinion. There's no objective way to truly determine what's the "best" film. Different people are going to gravitate to different films and some films will emotionally resonate with certain groups of people more than others. I don't buy the argument that 12 Years A Slave "only" won because it was about slavery. Otherwise every slavery-related movie from the past would've won Best Picture too, which has not been the case.
I've seen 7 of the 9 Best Picture films (didn't see Nebraska and Philomena) and I can say that they were all very good. I would've voted Dallas Buyers Club personally, but I don't have a problem with 12 Years winning at all.
