Gravity Deserved Best Picture at the Oscars!

I completely disagree. I think that gravity deserved every award it got, but it didn't deserve film of the year. It deserved every technical award, but that's it. It was visually stunning, but twelve years a slave was far better in respect to acting and story. It said far more than gravity did (just about nothing except "hey this looks cool!"), and I believe that is what film of the year is reserved for.

This, although I think Sandra Bullocks performance deserved more praise and the film did have some relevant comentary on life and death IMO

Her performance was ok, but going from being helplessly dependent on George Cloony to rewriting the Soyoz software to perform a flawless orbital transfer with 1 explosive burn didn't sit right. Well a lot didn't sit right.

On the blu-ray, in the extras, you get to see the other side of the conversation she has with the ground. That added some substance to the scene. Then Cloony had to ruin the moment :/ A bettter sequence would have been, her daughter died in a car accident due to a faulty airbag. She relives the accident during her low oxygen state in the capsule and makes the connection between air bag and landing jets. And that realization saves her.

Anyway the movie got what it deserves. Has a movie ever won best picture without a win for writing / screenplay or any of the actors? It shouldn't.
