Pretty much all of these are good movies. It's not a "what will people find a reason to keep watching" award, either; people rewatch cult classics for decades and that doesn't necessarily mean they're great films.
They said "good", not necessarily "best in class of the year". Most of those movies aren't ones I'd call bad, even if a lot I'd argue are safe and middling. That's usually the criticism of the a Oscars from the film community.
I also don't think good has to do with widely seen or not either. Popularity is not an indication of quality.
I mean I don't know anyone else who saw Neptune Frost or the latest Weerasethakul film
I've seen over 3100 films and I have absolutely no idea what "CODA" is.
edit: Oh, that is literally the title. I figured people were abbreviating something, like with EEAAO or whatever, haven't seen that one either I haven't been on a film kick for a couple years now.
