Those are the movies that ARE ELIGIBLE. If there is a submission needed, it means they got the submission. Those movies could have been nominated...any of them. They met all eligibility requirements.

Frankly, I think this idea of "submission" for the Academy is a myth. I think it's just a requirement that your movie be out in a certain time frame, meet certain requirements, not be out during another specific time frame, and that sort of stuff. I do not think you have to "submit" your film for any category other than foreign film (which has to have a country submit it as their entry for the year).
