“You Can See Everything” swept the 2026 Critics Choice Documentary Awards, winning all five categories in which it was nominated, including Best Documentary Feature. The awards were announced at a New York ceremony on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Five awards for the documentary

The Critics Choice Association said the film won Best Documentary Feature, Best Director for Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, Best Cinematography for David Bolen, Best Editing for Adam Locke-Norton and Best Score for Ari Balouzian. It took every award for which it was nominated at the association’s 11th annual documentary ceremony.

The five-for-five result was also reported by TheWrap. The award sweep places the film among the night’s main winners; the ceremony also recognized Once Upon a Time in Harlem with three awards.

Awards follow a rare box-office run

The documentary, directed by Fielder and Oppenheim, follows Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes during the period before she began serving her prison sentence. The Associated Press reported that it earned an estimated $8.9 million in its fourth North American weekend, bringing its reported regional total to $79.8 million. Variety later reported that the film had passed $80 million and ranked second among non-music documentaries in North America, behind Fahrenheit 9/11.

The distinction matters: Variety’s ranking excludes music documentaries, a category that includes concert films. Its report also notes that the award-winning documentary had outgrossed several major fall releases in the region, despite those films having larger marketing campaigns.
