Hollywood star Amanda Seyfried has discussed her approach to awards season.
Amanda Seyfried usually approaches awards season with “low expectations”.
The 40-year-old actress stars in You Can See Everything, the documentary film that follows Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of the now-defunct health technology company Theranos, shortly before she began serving a prison sentence for fraud – but Amanda has tried not to get carried away with the thought of potential recognition for the project.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Amanda shared: “I usually have low expectations because I don’t want to get disappointed. With You Can See Everything, I didn’t even know if it was ever going to come out!”
Amanda admits that she’s not especially comfortable with the demands of awards season.
However, the actress is willing to push through her anxieties for the sake of You Can See Everything, because she feels so passionately about the project.
She reflected: “Put me in a room with other actors and I’m very happy. A campaign is a lot. It’s time-consuming. It takes all your energy. And I’m totally willing to do it.
“A24 is great. They’re excited, and I’m very proud of the film, so I’m fully ready to engage in that. And I love these filmmakers! I had a great time with this tiny crew. And I think because [the experience] is so rare, and it will never happen again, I’m doubled-down on it.”
Meanwhile, Amanda previously revealed that she felt “so liberated” while making The Housemaid.
The actress starred alongside Sydney Sweeney in the hit mystery-thriller film, and Amanda admitted that she relished the experience of playing an unhinged housewife in the 2025 movie.
The blonde beauty – who also starred alongside Brandon Sklenar in the film – told W Magazine: “I star opposite Sydney Sweeney, and we have the same shoe size, are the same height, and we giggle the same way.
“It was so crazy—in some ways, that film is like Black Swan or Single White Female, but funny. I got to play so hard.
“The director, Paul Feig, would give me the strangest directions. He’d say, ‘Okay, make [Sydney] think you’re going to kiss her!’ I felt so liberated.”
