The Golden Satellites usually look like fantasy football to me. But their Best Picture nominations in the last few years have 6 or 7 that match Oscar. Make of that what you will. Here they are. Last year, 12 Years a Slave, Gravity and American Hustle led the nominations. The year before it was Les Miserables, Lincoln, Life of Pi and Argo.
Looks like it breaks down this way:
Birdman – 10
Imitation Game – 8
Boyhood – 7
Gone Girl – 7
Whiplash – 5
Selma – 4
Budapest Hotel – 3
Interstellar – 3
Foxcatcher – 2
