There is no doubt that “You Can See Everything” is creating a significant buzz in the entertainment industry. The film distributor, A24, is actively campaigning for potential Oscars recognition through an awards campaign that has caught the attention of many.
The storyline of “You Can See Everything” revolves around Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, who attracted widespread attention by claiming to have developed groundbreaking technology for disease screening. However, by 2022, Theranos had collapsed, and Holmes was convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy to defraud investors.
The film, initially presented as a documentary about Holmes, evolves into a unique and mind-bending experience, leaving viewers in awe of its unconventional narrative style. A24 is particularly aiming for nominations in the best documentary category, where Canadian productions have historically performed well.
Surprisingly, A24 is also pushing for “You Can See Everything” to be considered for the prestigious best picture category, a feat never achieved by a feature documentary in the 98-year history of the Academy Awards. Additionally, the film is putting forward Lance Oppenheim and Canadian Nathan Fielder for best director nominations, further breaking new ground in the documentary genre.
Furthermore, A24 has submitted nominations for best cinematography, best film editing, best original score, best sound, and best production design for “You Can See Everything.” The film’s unconventional approach has led to suggestions for nominations in categories like best costume design and best makeup and hairstyling, which is uncommon for a documentary.
In a surprising turn of events, there is a campaign, not listed on A24’s awards page, for Amanda Seyfried to be nominated as best supporting actress for her role in the film. Seyfried portrays Elizabeth Holmes, reprising her role from the 2022 TV miniseries “The Dropout,” adding a meta twist to the awards consideration.
Despite the unconventional nature of the film’s nominations, the overwhelmingly positive reviews reflect the audience’s appreciation for its innovative storytelling. The anticipation now shifts to the Oscar nominations announcement on January 21 next year, where the film’s bold approach to awards season will face the judgment of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
