As many of those interested will surely know, the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were handed out to their respective winners last night. Unfortunately, Big Love won neither Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series nor Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for which the show was nominated, nor did any of the cast members attend the award show itself. So a bummer all around.

It’s not all bad news, however, as Big Love stars Chloë Sevigny and Bill Paxton did appear at the Emmys HBO After Party later that evening, a couple of pictures of which have been uploaded to the gallery. Here’s also a video clip from the event with a glimpse of Chloë:

Update Aug 31: More than 50 new medium- and hi-res photo additions from this event have been uploaded to the gallery. Chloë wore a leopard-print Lanvin Pre-Fall 2010 dress paired with black Christian Louboutin booties.

The 2010 Primetime Emmy nominations have been revealed; unfortunately Chloë Sevigny is not among them. Despite having won a Golden Globe for her last year’s portrayal of Nicolette “Nicki” Grant on HBO’s Big Love earlier this year, Chloë was not able to land an Emmy nomination this year either, nor were the other acclaimed regular cast members of the show.

Big Love, the series itself, on the other hand, was able to nab a couple of noms, and is up for an Emmy in the following categories; from Emmys.com:

Outstanding Casting For A Drama Series
• Big Love (HBO)
• Dexter (Showtime)
• Friday Night Lights (DirecTV)
• The Good Wife (CBS)
• Mad Men (AMC)
• True Blood (HBO)

Outstanding Guest Actress In A Drama Series
• Big Love, “The Mighty And The Strong” – Mary Kay Place as Adaleen Grant
• Big Love, “End Of Days” – Sissy Spacek as Marilyn Densham
• The Cleaner, “Does Everybody Have A Drink?” – Shirley Jones as Lola Zellman
• Damages, “Your Secrets Are Safe” – Lily Tomlin as Marilyn Tobin
• Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, “Bedtime” – Ann-Margret as Rita Wills
• Lost, “The End” – Elizabeth Mitchell as Juliet Burke

Congratulations to Mary Kay Place and Sissy Spacek for their well-deserved nominations! Anyone else feel like using the word ’snub’ with emphasis regarding Chloë, though? Again. How very boring.

“I lived in this neighborhood when I was making the film Kids, in a studio apartment, with the bathtub in the kitchen and the toilet down the hall. So you’d actually have to physically leave the apartment and walk down the hall… I hated it, so I’d just have to hold it all night long so I wouldn’t have to go out into the hallway.”
- Chloë Sevigny

Check out this interesting video from Bust Magazine, in which Chloë Sevigny walks the camera through New York’s East Village, “The Wild Wild East”. In the video, Chloë takes the camera to some of her favorite places and talks about her joint history with the area and her various personal connections to the East Village. Judging from Chloë’s shorter crop, the video is also fairly recent. Have a look, it’s very insightful:

I love where she goes, “Wow, too crazy”, and puts away a pair of sunnies she’s just tried on…

Check out this new, fascinating interview with Chloë Sevigny from The Advocate (US), a monthly lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender magazine. Chloë was last interviewed for the publication for a Boys Don’t Cry cover story in March 2000, scans from which are available at our gallery.

The interview covers a lot of Chloë’s sexual orientation-related film and television work (such as her roles e.g. on Will & Grace, and in the films Broken Flowers and If These Walls Could Talk 2) as well as her own sexual orientation and her thoughts on the subject in general. She also talks about what happened onstage at this year’s Golden Globes in January, when the usher escorting her to accept the award for Best Supporting Actress (Television) accidentally stepped on and ripped her Valentino gown. It’s a really fun, honest and interesting article, so be sure to have a look!

Excerpts from the interview below; read it in full at Advocate.com:

Whenever I read about you turning down big-budget films like Legally Blonde to maintain your indie cred, I think, Why does Chloë hate money?
[Laughs] Well, it wasn’t the Reese Witherspoon part — let’s set the record straight — it was the Selma Blair part. But I was offered a Joe Orton play off-Broadway, What the Butler Saw, which I thought would be more challenging. I guess I didn’t realize the full potential of Legally Blonde at the time, but now I love those films — they’re hilarious.

Selma Blair interviewed you some years later for Interview magazine. Was the fact that you turned down her role an elephant in the room?
Aw, no, that stuff happens all the time. And so many girls have been offered parts that I’ve ended up doing, and I see them all the time — like the girl [Mia Kirshner] that got fired from Kids, which was the reason I got the role. Those are the breaks.

What attracted you to Monet, the apartment-flipping lesbian, on Will & Grace — Edie Falco as your sugar mama?
I was a huge Will & Grace fan! I loved Sean Hayes, and I just wanted to try a sitcom and see what that was all about. But what’s funny is that after I appeared on the show I could never watch it again. It lost the magic. We shot for two days, and the first day I was doing my quiet-whatever kind of acting that I do, but then I was like, If I don’t turn it up 10 notches, I’m just going to blend into the walls. So the next day I went in rip-roarin’ and ready to go, trying to ham it up, but it’s really hard to ham it up next to that cast.

[...] Another gay Big Love writer, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, did an impressive job of fleshing out the Alby and Dale relationship in the “Strange Bedfellows” episode earlier this season.
He did. He invited me to some bowling benefit for Second Stage Theatre the other night, so I went out to support them and hang out with him. He’s actually writing a musical version of American Psycho right now, which is really odd.

You don’t want any part of that?
No. [Laughs] But I would love to do Broadway. I guess I’m waiting for the right thing and the time. It’s hard to commit to anything like that when you’re on television.

[...] A few days after the Golden Globes ceremony, when I discovered on Greginhollywood.com that the escort who stepped on your dress, Joe Everett Michaels, was gay, I thought, Great, another reason for people to hate us: As if our pesky demands for equal rights weren’t enough, now we’ve gone and ripped Chloë Sevigny’s Valentino!
Oh, geesh, I know. He actually found me in the ballroom afterward, came up to me, and was going on and on, like, “I’m so, so, so, so sorry!” The poor guy. Accidents happen, so of course I accepted his apology. You know, I had a feeling something was going to happen. I thought I was just going to stain the dress or that I was going to trip, but leave it to the gays! [Laughs]

Three events in three consecutive days! Yesterday, February 10 (or rather earlier today, as it is yet for some of our visitors at this hour), Chloë Sevigny attended the 2010 amfAR New York Gala kicking off the Fall/Winter 2010-11 Fashion Week in New York City. Chloë looked sexy and nothing short of amazing at the event, and posed for red carpet photographs with designer and amfAR chairman, Kenneth Cole.

As always, the gallery has been updated accordingly with our first 28 medium-res photos of Chloë at the event. We’ll be back later today with lots more medium- and hi-res additions from this event as well as this week’s earlier ones. Things are looking up for us this month, aren’t they?

More photos! After the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony and a quick change of clothing, Chloë Sevigny was spotted at the Golden Globes HBO After Party in a new, black Christian Lacroix dress.

We’ve uploaded the first six photos of Chloë embracing her award at the event to our gallery. Have a look!

Big, big congratulations to Chloë Sevigny for holding up the Big Love flag and winning the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for her portrayal of Nicolette “Nicki” Grant on the show!! A well-deserved award, we think.

Also in contention for the award were Jane Adams (Hung, HBO), Rose Byrne (Damages, FX NETWORK), Jane Lynch, (Glee, FOX) and Janet McTeer (Into The Storm, HBO), however it was Chloë (or Chloï, as they misspelled her name) Sevigny who took home the award, as presented to her by actors Chace Crawford and Kristen Bell. We’re so happy for you, Chloë! It’s fantastic!

Meanwhile, Big Love and Bill Paxton lost to Mad Men and Michael C. Hall from Dexter in their respective categories.

Chloë’s acceptance speech was very composed, though she was clearly very excited about her win (and was dressed for the occasion). She also suspected she may have ripped her dress walking up onto the stage! Check out a clip of the speech below Unfortunately, Chloë’s acceptance speech is currently not available for viewing on YouTube and cannot therefore be embedded, but you can check out a LQ streaming version of it at e.g. Jezebel.com.

Our transcript of Chloë’s entire acceptance speech:
