It's a good idea, but it would probably be better if it was kept separate from the Academy Awards altogether. I don't think they want to correct themselves, and even if they were willing to, I still not entirely sure they'd get it right.

Also, to reply directly to OP's choice of boogie nights, that was another one that didn't click for me. I think in my case, that tends to happen with movies that are more character studies or character-driven rather than something with a more traditional plot. If I'm not aware of that going in I end up focusing more on where I think the story is going rather than how the characters are reacting and evolving. And once I make it to the end of the movie and realize the plot wasn't particularly important, I just end up getting confused.

I know not understanding a David Lynch movie on the first go-around is nothing particularly unusual, but it took me a very long time to understand Lost Highway. Hell, for all I know I still don't, but at least I know I really enjoy it now. I just kept giving it another try, after another try because I think the soundtrack is one of the best ever. And eventually I started putting all the pieces together.

I had a very similar experience. They showed us a sneak preview of it while I was in college and when it was over I wondered what the hell I just watched. I didn't think it was funny, I didn't think it had a story, it was just 2 hours of my life.

A couple years later for whatever reason I decided to give it another try and I liked it a little bit more, but I still didn't think it was good. It took about three viewings for everything to click and then I thought it was a masterpiece.

I actually met Lori Petty last weekend. My main takeaway is that she probably has a drinking problem.
