This is one of the things that was odd to me, as well. The only ("major") section Gravity didn't win in was Best Actress, yet they were still nominated. How do these awards not equate to an amazing Best Picture kind of movie?

I fell asleep during Gravity. I just couldn't get into the story or characters and am not really much of a fan of CG heavy films with no story.

Never saw 12 years a slave. I would guess it probably deserved to win based on what I have read about it.

I couldn't care less about the Oscars either.

Is Gravity on DVD? I might check it out now.

Agreed. Gravity was an average movie with good effects. That was about it. I really didnt think it should even be in the running...it was the only movie that felt out in the list...? Am i crazy or something? :/

Yes, it's on BluRay and DVD. I recommend it, everyone should see Gravity.

Gravity looks insane and interesting.
12 years looks boring and overrated.

Vamos Cuaron!

Agree. Nothing like Gravity has been done before. Totally deserved the best picture.

Fuck 12 years of boredom, it was done decades ago, its called Roots and its much better.

put Sandra Bullock in a black thong instead of that awful space short and maybe they would have won best picture.

At least the internet was spared when Leo didn't get the Oscar as usual, it could've explode.

I'm sorry, but for you to say that the story was perfect is laughable.

It's a cliche survival story. The characters (all two of them) didn't need any depth layered onto the plot because all that mattered is if they lived. So they could be shallow characters (very shallow) that go from point A to point B to point C and so on until they survive or die.

On visuals and sound, I agree. But the story? Come on. You're just fooling yourself.

By the way, do you think that flying debris was a living entity? I do. It only attacked once Sandra Bullock was at each station and not before.

And by the way, why couldn't Sandra Bullock simply pull George Clooney back once she grabbed his tether and their momentum stopped? Why, when he unhooked, did he fly back like his momentum never stopped and she snapped back in a similar way? That part took me out of the movie because they set it up with text with facts of space and then totally ruin the illusion through inaccurate physics at a crucial plot point.
