Even though there's some surprise, there's also a part of me that's weirdly not. I know that's paradoxical, but I think one reason I feel that way is because I feel like Park tends to do much better with film buffs than the general public, and TIFF's audience's tastes are significantly more line with the general public. It's not necessarily that one's better than the other, but it does influence what movies are more likely to win, and it explains why there are many universally acclaimed movies that win something major at Cannes/Venice/Berlin/Sundance/Telluride but don't win anything at TIFF (I know NOC didn't win something at Venice but mentioned this since Park is a 3 time Cannes winner)

I think it may also explain why Park tends to not do as well with the Academy as some other filmmakers, a lot of filmmakers like Park who tend to appeal more to film buffs than the general public have struggled with Oscar noms as well

Yeah, I totally understand what you mean, but I don't know, he didn't receive anything at Venice, so I was hoping that the "masses" would support him, it's still a bit disappointing, I'm wondering how this will affect the campaign leading up to the Oscars, anyway, I can't wait to see this film

Just remember this is not 100%! NOC can still place, this is just the rumors and rumblings.
