so I just watched 12 years a slave with keen interest expecting to see a wonderful performance , I wasn't disapointed she tried sha
But I don't think she deserved the Oscar
Chiwetelu killed and buried his part, even that wicked slave owner nailed it , I think politics played a part , after all where 2 or more are gathered there must be politics

I thought I was the only one, that lady who's children were sold and would always cry deserved the award but Miss Kenya tried.

Your opinion.

That whipping scene was intense though. Made me hate white people for three full weeks.

Thats your opinion. I think she deserved it given that she was selected and voted by people all over the world.

She deserved it on the basis of character + performance + 'narrative'. And well, the character was haunting...enough to get Academy voters hand Lupita the Oscar.

On the basis of performance alone, I think Jennifer Lawrence in 'American Hustle' or Sally Hawkins in 'Blue Jasmine' were superior.
