How would it backfire?

There’s a relatively convincing argument that Chicago 7 and Ma Rainey are safer and more crowd-pleasing choices that could feasibly challenge for BP and win other categories. However, I’m inclined to agree with you that Da 5 Bloods is actually probably their most likely competitor if they backed it. It’s got the kind of bite and passion that (I think) Chicago 7 lacks and it’s much more cinematic and bold than Ma Rainey, and Lee has a narrative in Director, Lindo in Actor and it could also win techs to push it closer to the line in Picture.
That said, it’s probably proven too divisive already – but out of all their options I do think it’s their best bet. A risky one, but one I’d admire/ understand. Chicago and Ma Rainey are safer though, and Mank is more starry and industry-friendly, so I doubt we’ll see it get a massive push.
Let’s talk about MPA ratings. Since 2009, there are at least three non R-rated films (PG-13, PG or G) on Best Picture. The Father, Minari, News of the World and Soul are the most likely non R contenders this year. If you’re not predicting three of them at least, you should reconsider that.

A24 has a partnership with Apple so Minari would probably go to Apple TV+. I’m assuming Nomadland and The Father would be PVOD (maybe Nomadland goes to Hulu?).
I'm back bitches.

The Father is a lock for a Picture nomination.
FYC: Better Call Saul, The English and The Good Fight in all categories including Emily Blunt, Bob Odenkirk, Christine Baranski and Rhea Seehorn.

Yeah, and I’m pretty confident about Minari too.

Even the Critics Associations are nominating Aaron Sorkin and y’all still underestimating him.
It's about the chaotic editing in Moulin Rouge!

He literally seems like that Director precursors would nominate but then gets snubbed nomination morning. I just don’t see the directors branch going for him.
