Gravity Deserved Best Picture at the Oscars!

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.

I feel like they wanted to keep the movie up in space till the end so the ending was more impactful.

Also, I don't get this sentiment. Gravity's storytelling wasn't as, well, story/epic kind of thing. However, Gravity portrayed the scenes extremely well, as well as Bullock portraying a sense of helplessness and being really frightend by what is going on around her. The film doesn't/shouldn't have to rely on a narrative aspect to be able to win Best Picture. 

For example's sake, Argo did not win in any of the categories for acting. There are other cases of films not winning in this category but still winning the Best Picture Oscar as well.
