Black Panther being pushed for Best Film nomination

IF, big if, Black Panther gets nominated, (or pulls out a victory). What will the conspiracy nuts say what happened?

I think their major push will be that, Disney seeing the backlash told the Academy to pull it back this year so Black Panther can be nominated under the original category for best film.

What's your going theory list it below. If (a huge IF) it does happen and they get nominated we can come back here and see who was closest.
