“There is considerable buzz surrounding the film ‘You Can See Everything,’ but the question remains: will it make an impact at the Oscars? Film distributor A24 is actively campaigning for awards recognition, garnering attention within the industry.
The premise of ‘You Can See Everything’ revolves around Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, who allowed a film crew to document her life 34 days before her prison sentence. Once hailed for her groundbreaking technology, Holmes later faced legal troubles and was convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy.
While initially presented as a documentary, the film evolves into a unique experience, leaving viewers in awe. The push for Oscar nominations includes Best Documentary, a category where Canadian entries have historically performed well.
Surprisingly, A24 is also advocating for ‘You Can See Everything’ to be considered for Best Picture, a rarity for documentaries. Additionally, individuals involved in the film are being put forth for categories like Best Cinematography and Best Film Editing, aiming to break new ground in awards recognition.
The film’s unconventional approach has led to suggestions for nominations in unexpected categories like Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Notably, there is a campaign, not listed by A24, for Amanda Seyfried to be recognized as Best Supporting Actress for her role in the film.
Despite its unconventional nature, ‘You Can See Everything’ has captured audiences and critics alike, challenging traditional filmmaking norms. The anticipation now lies in whether the Academy will embrace this bold approach when the Oscar nominations are announced on January 21 next year.”
