'Birdman' and 'Imitation Game' Lead the Golden Satellite Nominations

I hesitate to post these nominations, but hey, the International Press Academy is another group that does awards and they often match 6 or 7 with Oscar, so why not. The IPA is a kind of like the Hollywood Film Awards though- a mysteriously random organization that seems to go out of their way to nominate literally everything that comes out in a given year. They're actually not quite as embarrassing this year as last, but why do they not have a limit on their nominees? There's about a hundred documentaries nominated for Documentary, for pete's sake. Anyway, Birdman and Imitation Game led the charge here, with 10 and 8 nods apiece:
