We Can See Oscar Possibilities For A24’s Hit Documentary ‘You Can See Everything’ – And That Includes An Acting Category
A24’s documentary *You Can See Everything*, about former Theranos chief executive Elizabeth Holmes, has become a major box-office success and is drawing early Oscar speculation. Its unusual approach, with director Nathan Fielder at the centre of the story, could put it in contention beyond documentary categories, including Best Picture and a possible acting nomination.
The film opened in about 800 cinemas and took more than $15 million, the biggest debut in under 1,000 cinemas in over two decades and the strongest opening for a non-music documentary since *Fahrenheit 9/11* in 2004. Academy screenings reportedly drew strong attendance and enthusiastic reactions. The article also highlights possible recognition for directing, cinematography, music and editing; editor Adam Locke-Norton shaped 700 hours of footage into a 2-hour-54-minute film. It points to Amanda Seyfried’s appearance as a possible Best Supporting Actress contender, while keeping details of her role under wraps.
