Amanda Seyfried Cleared for Critics Choice, Faces Other Awards Barriers
Amanda Seyfried is eligible for a Critics Choice supporting actress nomination for playing Elizabeth Holmes in the documentary You Can See Everything.
The film combines documentary methods with reenactments featuring Seyfried.
The Golden Globes, BAFTA and Actor Awards have ruled her ineligible, while the Academy has not yet made its official decision.
The Academy’s rules allow documentary films to qualify in other categories if they meet the requirements, and its actors’ committee decides eligibility for acting awards.
A24 has been told there is no reason to expect the Academy to reject her, but the final decision is due in early December.
Seyfried says she is ready to campaign for both her performance and the film.
The film could also seek a best picture nomination, a category that has never nominated a documentary.
