More than two hundred people registered
West said more than two hundred people responded to a registration form on the event's Partiful invitation. The response showed how much interest the documentary had generated among fans in New York.
Nicole Travolta and Joe Sivick won the contest
The prize went to Joe Sivick and Nicole Travolta. Travolta, an actress and comedian, said she had been doing impressions of Holmes since two thousand twenty-two and already owned the costume and wig.

Travolta thinks her spoken impression is probably what secured her the win, since everyone looked eerily similar to Holmes.
