All signs are pointing to a strong chance that one of these films will take home the coveted Oscar, but which actually deserves it? A movie that has shaken up the entire landscape of filmmaking or one of the most important and relevant films to our society? Thats the single largest question you have to account for when coming to a decision, and let me tell you, its far more tempting to just a flip a coin and call it a day, rather than continuously bounce around in my head the various reasons showcasing both are deserving of claiming the prestigious award. Both films are freaking remarkable. Its as simple as this though; 12 Years A Slave is a movie with a far greater lasting impression and is something that everyone is unlikely to forget (provided they dont watch the film buried in their cellphones or something equally insulting). Gravity is an outstanding film, but its technological prowess will be topped, whereas Im certain there will never be another slavery film that bests 12 Years A Slave. Winner: 12 Years A Slave There you have it! Do you agree or disagree with my Oscar heavyweights match-up? Comment below.
