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.

lol I don't see how it would be racism if the movie lost.
That's just sad if people claim that.

Oh, I remember a few years back (maybe more than a few) the uproar about the lack of black actors winning the best actor/actress awards. It couldn't possibly be the fact that the performances weren't up to par, it HAD to be some form of racism....such is the world we live in.
