Hahaha how desperate is the Academy to not only try and appear politically diverse but also devalue their own prestige by allowing BP to have a best picture nom.

Are we operating under the assumption that best picture noms are worth anything anymore?

Yes because its still a major achievement to be given a nomination in a premier catergory from 5000+ members of the Academy. The Best Picture winner may not always be correct but almost always the nominations are the best films of that year and Black Panther would stick out like a sore thumb.
