Amanda Seyfried is eligible for a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the Critics Choice Awards for her role in You Can See Everything, though major awards groups have issued split decisions on her eligibility.
Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim directed the A24 documentary. It blends traditional nonfiction techniques with dramatic reenactments featuring Seyfried as Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. The film has grossed more than $80 million worldwide. It holds a 96 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Awards Bodies Rule on Seyfried Eligibility
The Critics Choice Awards deemed Seyfried eligible. The Golden Globes, BAFTA, and the Actor Awards ruled her ineligible for performance recognition, according to The Hollywood Reporter. SAG-AFTRA encouraged A24 to file an appeal for the Actor Awards. Insiders indicate the studio will focus its energy on securing an Oscar nomination instead.
“Now that they’re going to let me loose and show up, I’m down!” Seyfried told THR regarding her readiness to engage in a formal awards campaign.
“A campaign is a lot,” Seyfried said. “It’s time-consuming. It takes all your energy. And I’m totally willing to do it. A24 is great. They’re excited, and I’m fully proud of the film, so I’m fully ready to engage in that.”
Seyfried has not yet launched an official awards campaign. A24 tries to keep her involvement quiet. She discussed her emus at the recent Academy Museum Gala. Seyfried won an Emmy for playing Holmes in Hulu’s limited series The Dropout.
She picked up the award for outstanding lead actress in a limited or anthology series or movie at the ceremony on September 12, 2022. She earned an Oscar nomination for 2020’s Mank and came close to another for 2025’s The Testament of Ann Lee.

Seyfried Joined the Project in Secret
Seyfried entered the project in secret. She filmed scenes without initially informing her agents or signing contracts through her lawyer, Variety reported. Fielder connected with the actress after obtaining her phone number through Emma Stone. After an initial Zoom call to gauge Seyfried’s interest, she joined the project. Fielder said that Seyfried possessed zero creative control and no final say over the final cut. She lacked approval rights entirely.
Seyfried appears as herself in the documentary’s second half. She reviews footage shot inside a beach house before Holmes reported to prison. She then joins Fielder to investigate Holmes’ partner, Billy Evans, leading to a tense dinner encounter.
“There was always this vibration of risk and that sensation of: Am I going to destroy my career in some way? Am I going to get entangled in this, like, wasp’s nest with Billy? Am I gonna say the wrong thing? Am I gonna perpetuate negativity for her? Everything was scary, but I still had that drive that was more in the front seat — which was the literal front seat with you in the car. I was just like, ‘Let’s go, buddy! I want to put my hand in the fire!’,” Seyfried said.
Seyfried explained to Rolling Stone that she sought out Evans because the recorded material unsettled her. “It felt dangerous. I wanted answers. We all had this need to understand who was pulling the strings,” she said.
Seyfried recalled that her lawyer later had to retroactively set her deal in place because she needed protection. Evans made admissions during the dinner scene. He has power of attorney over Elizabeth while she is in prison. He tweets on her behalf and supports Charlie Kirk.
Seyfried reprised her role as Holmes in dramatized reenactments of off-camera conversations. Fielder was not permitted to bring recording equipment when visiting Holmes in prison. He reconstructed the visiting room as a set. He wrote out the dialogue from memory for Seyfried to perform. She spots him altering a single word to make Holmes appear more blameless. The movie retains that moment.
The film has taken $79,797,396 in North America through November 8, plus a small international total from early openings in Turkey and the Czech Republic, according to FanBolt. The picture runs 174 minutes. It debuts in the United Kingdom on November 20, 2026. It opens in Brazil on November 26, 2026. It arrives in Italy on November 27, 2026.
Post-screening Q&As aim at Academy and British Academy voters. Olivia Wilde oversaw one such gathering. They attract Richard Curtis, Cate Blanchett, Riz Ahmed, Barbara Broccoli, and Alex Garland. Seyfried said that hearing respected actors say they experienced the performance almost as if it were Holmes herself is the most incredibly flattering thing she has ever experienced.
Seyfried acknowledged the toll of the awards circuit, stating, “A campaign is a lot. It’s time-consuming. It takes all your energy. And I’m totally willing to do it.”
Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim also attended the “You Can See Everything” Photocall at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on October 6, 2026, in Los Angeles, California.”
