I don't know if it makes a difference -- I'm talking about the blocked seats in row 5 of the 777 with "business staggered."

I've snagged 5A before, just selected it online a couple of weeks before the flight. I did not have any status then.

Actually, for some reason 5A is not tagged as "premium" on ExpertFlyer -- only the three other seats in that row (D, F, and H). I'm looking for the two in the middle for my wife and me. I called NH, but she said that it is "not available." When I asked if it was occupied or blocked, she repeated that it is "not available," so I didn't push her and just said thanks and hung up. EF shows it as empty but "premium." I have a *G card in there, but I can't tell if the system doesn't recognize that it's gold (it's from another airline) or if the seats are simply not released except for NH's elites. Hence my question here...

I could also got 5A maybe 1 month ago via phone CSR when confirming the reward ticket. I didn't put any status associate to this ticket.

I think those other seats in row 5 are the bassinet positions, with a larger "table" in front. So they may be blocked until check-in for that reason.
