A highly talked-about film, “You Can See Everything,” is sparking significant interest, raising the question of whether it will attract attention for the Oscars. The film’s distributor, A24, is actively promoting it for potential awards recognition, drawing considerable attention within the industry.
The storyline of “You Can See Everything” centers around Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos, who, before her incarceration, allows a film crew to document her activities. Initially known for her purported groundbreaking technology for disease screening, Holmes faced legal troubles and was convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy charges. The film delves into her story, evolving from a documentary-style approach to a unique and captivating narrative, leaving viewers in awe of its impact.
Seeking nominations in various categories, including best documentary and even best picture, “You Can See Everything” aims to break new ground at the Academy Awards. Additionally, the film is endorsing Canadian talents for best director, cinematography, film editing, original score, sound, and production design, challenging traditional documentary accolades.
Despite being a documentary, “You Can See Everything” is proposed for nominations in unconventional categories like best costume design, makeup, and hairstyling, showcasing its distinctive approach to storytelling. Notably, there is an unlisted campaign for Amanda Seyfried to be considered for best supporting actress, adding a layer of complexity given her dual role in both the film and the TV miniseries “The Dropout.”
The film’s innovative narrative and bold filmmaking have garnered praise from audiences and critics alike, pushing the boundaries of traditional cinema. As anticipation builds for the Oscar nominations announcement on January 21, 2023, it remains to be seen whether the Academy will embrace the unconventional spirit of “You Can See Everything” in the upcoming awards season.
