A24 Feature Dominates Winners List
The A24 documentary chronicles the final 34 days before Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes began an 11-year prison sentence. Directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim helmed the project.
The project debuted at a surprise Telluride screening just over two months prior to the ceremony, held on Sunday, November 8, 2026, and hosted by television producer and host Ross Mathews.
The film earned directing honors for Fielder and Oppenheim alongside the top prize of Best Documentary Feature. David Bolen won for cinematography, Adam Locke-Norton won for editing, and Ari Balouzian won for best score, according to the Critics Choice Association.
Neon Wins Awards for Documentaries and Ron Howard Receives Impact Award
David Greaves’ Once Upon a Time in Harlem
secured three awards from Neon for best first documentary feature, best historical documentary, and best archival documentary.

A24 Campaigns for Potential Best Picture and Supporting Actress Nominations
The branch has kind of deliberately, when it comes time for nominations, moved in other directions than highly popular films.
A24 is actively campaigning for the film to secure nominations in both documentary and general categories. Speculation points to possible Best Picture and supporting actress nominations alongside its Best Documentary Feature Oscar nod.
A branch member described the industry dynamic regarding the film’s awards prospects, stating: If it doesn’t get nominated, we are going to get such backlash, which will be worse than if it just gets nominated and wins,
before adding, I just think it’s such an ‘Emperor’s New Clothes’ situation.
Viewers and industry members await whether the doc branch will get behind the film when Oscar nominations are announced on January 21.
