Gravity isn't science fiction, jeez. Just because a film is set in outer space doesn't make it science fiction, that's like saying Apollo 13 is science fiction.

As the for the Oscars, I thought they rewarded all of 12 Years, Gravity, and Dallas Buyers Club with some fairly prestigious awards. 

I thought Gravity was a good film, but not neccessarily Best Picture without a doubt material. 


How can you not call it science fiction? We had magical tears that float off from her face ignoring the current known laws of physics, we had Jet packs that could traverse vast regions of space (or some mythical world where the space station and hubble weren't many thousands and thousands of miles apart). We had all the communications satelites being taken out and then magically teleporting to a stable orbit of debris 10's of thousands of kilometers below their current geo stationary positions. It was either science fiction or one of the worst researched movies ever made.
