Probably because those films aren't talked into an absurd frenzy like this one has been. And it's funny that he didn't mention Jordan Peele and Get Out or the fact that Steve McQueen has a new movie coming out this year.
Why even compare 12 years a slave, Moonlight and Get Out to Black Panther?
The thing about Black Panther is that it has a bigger budget then all of those movies combined, bigger marketing and is about a Superhero with a majority Black Cast OF COURSE PEOPLE ARE GOING INTO A FRENZY!
There is always a frenzy for Star Wars and MCU movies in general too.
He did try to compare. He asked why people did not think 12YAS and Moonlight were "important" but that Black Panther was. That question implies that there is something about Black Panther that makes it unimportant or less important than the other films.
Leaving out the fact that he for some reason believes two Academy Award winning films are viewed as unimportant.

Why did he just say that the general public don't consider Best Picture winners 12 Years a Slave and Moonlight "important" films?
That's just a wrong statement.
