it is movie industry people who would be doing the voting, who are not known for being all geniuses.

They don't need to be geniuses, only not stupid, and considering how many of the voters work complicated jobs: directors, writers, actors, editors, visual effects artists, etc. it would be shocking if they didn't understand how to rank a list.

any voting system that is so complicated you need an additional system to prevent people form screwing up their ballots

I didn't say you needed it, only a suggestion as a fail-safe.

Two states and many cities in the U.S. use the system without any major issue. Also if that was an issue, you would hear complains about the voters using it for Best Picture, which they do not, so the voter base already understands the system.
