Five nominations become five awards
You Can See Everything won all five categories in which it was nominated at the eleventh Critics Choice Documentary Awards on November 8. The ceremony took place at the Edison Ballroom in New York, in the United States. The film received Best Documentary Feature, while Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim shared Best Director. The results gave the same production recognition for its overall achievement and for the directors who made it.[1], [2]
Camera, editing and score teams also win
The remaining three wins went to David Bolen for cinematography, Adam Locke-Norton for editing and Ari Balouzian for score. Together with the feature and directing prizes, those awards completed the film’s five-category sweep. Its awards therefore spanned both the finished film and the image, editing and music work behind it.[1], [2]
Howard and Noujaim receive special honours
Ross Mathews hosted the event, which also recognised two filmmakers for their contributions to nonfiction cinema. Frank Oz presented Ron Howard with the Critics Choice Impact Award. Jehane Noujaim received the Pennebaker Award from Chris Hegedus, the widow and collaborator of documentarian D A Pennebaker. The special honours recognise lasting contributions to documentary storytelling, alongside the competitive awards for individual films and series.[1], [2]
