You Can See Everything Virtually Sweeps Critics Choice Documentary Awards
As expected, You Can See Everything, a terrific film and a big box-office hit, has pretty much swept the Critics Choice Documentary awards.
You Can See Everything, the Elizabeth Holmes A24 documentary, which features Amanda Seyfried in a surprise performance, has earned the top prize from the Critics Choice Documentary awards. It came as no surprise that the film won, given its tremendous success with critics and at the box-office, where it has currently been crowned the 2nd biggest, non-music documentary of all-time.
You Can See Everything won several awards from the Critics Choice documentary team: Best Documentary Feature, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Editing and Best Music Score. The History of Concrete won for Best Narration while NAZA took the Best Political Documentary honors. EPIC: Elvis Presley in Concert won the Best Music Documentary. Once Upon a Time in Harlem won Best First Documentary Feature, Best Historical Documentary and Best Archival Documentary. Musk won Best Biographical Documentary and Everest: The Other Side won for Best Sports Documentary.
Now with this win under its belt, You Can See Everything will move forward to the regular award ceremonies, where it could reign supreme, right alongside The Odyssey as one of the most honored movies of 2026. This Elizabeth Holmes documentary, which has done phenomenally at the box-office, is controversial because cameras weren’t allowed in the prison where Holmes was kept, which allowed filmmakers Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim to take some liberties with their presentation of key scenes at the end. They included Amanda Seyfriend in the proceedings to act things out as Holmes.
In a year full of great documentaries, it was a landslide victory that was achieved for You Can See Everything. At this point, we don’t know how the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will categorize the movie. Will it simply compete as a documentary or as one of the year’s best films, period? Most industry insiders are expecting a slew of Oscar nods for the hit movie, but Amanda Seyfriend’s inclusion in her acting category remains a huge question mark at the current time.
Powerful films like Once Upon a Time in Harlem, The History of Concrete or NAZA could have won if not for the domino effect that You Can See Everything has placed on the competition. You Can See Everything could well steamroll most of the competition as a movie in and of itself, and will be right there alongside The Odyssey as a Best Picture Oscar nominee if things continue down this glorious path for the acclaimed A24 movie.
