## Key points

- “You Can See Everything” is a major hit.
- Its popularity may not secure an Oscar shortlist place.
- The documentary shortlist is due on 15 December.

## Summary

Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s documentary “You Can See Everything”, about Elizabeth Holmes in the 34 days before she reported to prison and the period afterwards, has become a major cultural and box-office hit. But Variety’s Oscar predictions suggest it may still miss the documentary shortlist, highlighting the gap between popular acclaim and the Academy branch’s preferences.

The film has a 99 Metacritic score, 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 9.4 IMDb rating, which would top “The Shawshank Redemption” if it holds. Its focus on Fielder’s presence on camera and uncertainty over Holmes’s authenticity may be a difficult fit for voters who favour observational documentaries. The shortlist is due on 15 December, with Oscar nominations announced on 21 January 2027.
