Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything is set for multiple Oscar submissions - including best picture.
The 3-hour film from A24, which shadows the Theranos founder 34 days before she’s sent to prison, is a box office smash hit that opened to an extraordinary $15 million domestic box office over the weekend - the second-biggest documentary opening ever after Michael Moore's 2004 film Fahrenheit 9/11.
The critical reception has also been very positive, with the film achieving a near-perfect score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.
As seen on A24’s awards site, the documentary will be submitted for the 99th Academy Awards in categories including best documentary feature, best picture (Nathan Fielder, Lance Oppenheim, Tatiana Bears, Maggie Ambrose and Jack Davis), director (Fielder and Oppenheim), production design (Alex DiGerlando and Rebecca Meis), cinematography (David Bolen) and costume design (Katina Danabassis).

Amanda Seyfried, who appears in the film as herself while also reprising her role as Holmes from The Dropout, will be campaigned in the supporting actress category, according to Variety.
The nomination would mark her second following 2020’s Mank.
Theranos founder Holmes was convicted in 2022 of one count of conspiracy to defraud investors and multiple charges of wire fraud against investors for lying about the effectiveness of her company’s core blood-testing technology. She was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison.
Her crimes have previously been chronicled in books, podcasts and the Hulu mini-series The Dropout.
You Can See Everything sees Fielder, Oppenheimer and a film crew follow Holmes in her home 34 days before she's imprisoned for her crimes, with Fielder and Oppenheimer becoming embroiled in the story as they begin to suspect Holmes and her husband are hiding information from them.
A synopsis for You Can See Everything reads: "Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a sceptical film crew to document her every move."
It continues: "What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss."
You Can See Everything releases in UK cinemas on 20 November.
