I mean, think of it this way:
-Gravity has universal acclaim (96 on Metacritic with 50 reviews)
-Gravity is a "cool" movie b/c it's set in space, has an auteur director and is seen as ground-breaking (usually movies with female leads are not considered cool by guys)
-Gravity broke box office records WW despite being "an art film about a 49-year-old woman alone in space"
-Gravity is based on an original idea - not a book, not a sequel, not a remake
-Gravity is nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actress, despite being a space movie
-80% of the movie is her alone, so she doesn't share the spotlight with anyone
Female role of the decade, career mistake of the decade
