it will break the CBM bias the Academy has towards them. This would be a good thing if Black Panther receives a Best Picture nomination.

It won't break any CBM bias because everyone knows that any nomination for BP wouldn't be on merit (like it would be for The Dark Knight or Logan) but would be because of the race card. If anything, it would be a bad thing for the CBM industry if BP got nominated because it would create such a negative backlash.
