I agree.
12 years a slave isn't a bad movie, I saw it. But there were moments... like when Solomon is just staring in front of him for like a minute. The movie was good, but at the end I was happy it was over and left me thinking.

Gravity I didn't want to end.

I think 12 years a slave just won because racial tension is still a big thing in the US.

Yes, "12 years" won because the Academy has to be as "inclusive" as possible. Because of political correctness in Hollywood, I can no longer take the Oscars seriously and I knew ahead of time that no matter how good any of the other films were, "12 Years" would win without a doubt. I also feel that had it lost, the inevitable "racism" backlash would be heard over and over. If you disagree, I appreciate your opinion but it would not change mine.

I think more importantly Gravity lost because it really wasn't a very good movie. It had stunning visuals, CGI and cinematography (kinda reminded me of prometheus where it relied on being pretty rather than making a good movie), but that is it. Poor story, poorly researched subject matter and cliched. While I also don't think I would call 12 years a slave my winner it was certainly leagues above gravity.
