It’s that time of the year again, I guess, when predictions regarding Emmy nominees and winners begin surfacing online. Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly has picked his favorite nominees for Best Supporting Actress (Drama) — guess who he’d like to see nominated?:

Chloë Sevigny (Big Love): The sneakier her character got, the more I wanted to give her a hug. Oh, and an Emmy!

Ausiello also recommends Chloë’s Big Love co-star Ginnifer Goodwin for an Emmy nomination.

Now, seriously, people… Chloë’s portrayal of Nicolette “Nicki” Grant has “Emmy-worthy” written all over it. I’m just sayin’.

Chloë doesn’t disappoint! As we reported earlier, Chloë Sevigny did indeed host Kiehl’s New York Flagship Store Celebration with the Doe Fund in New York, NY yesterday, April 9 2009, and we now have first photos of Chloë at the event, looking effortlessly stylish in a black mini and dark blue navy jacket, the former of which is à la Opening Ceremony (Allure.com). The gallery has been updated with our first 29 medium- and hi-res photos from the event, some thanks to the good people at The Fashion Spot. As always, we’ll be keeping an eye out for more.

Furthermore, MyFOXNY has a video clip from the event, with a very cute interview segment in which Chloë and the reporter remark upon the great music being played (Chloë’s brother, Paul Sevigny was the DJ of the evening). The clip will soon be added to our media archive for download, but in the mean time check it out at MyFOXNY.com! Report from Allure.com:

Last night we went to Kiehl’s’ celebration of their refurbished East Village flagship store, which they wisely renovated to more closely resemble its original apothecary feel. Chloë Sevigny, a longtime Kiehl’s devotee and downtown poster girl, was on hand to host, wearing a black Opening Ceremony mini-dress (natch) and totally inspiring for spring electric pink lipstick. (Also, her cute brother Paul DJ’d the event.) Sevigny dished to us that the brand’s Rosewater Facial Toner was the first Kiehl’s product she ever used—”I loved the pretty rose petals floating in the bottle,”—and that her current obsessions are the Creme de Corps body lotion, Lavender Foaming Relaxing Bath with Sea Salts and Aloe Vera, and Dermatologist Solutions Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate, which she swears really works (and we believe her—her skin is ridiculously glowing).

The other reason for the party: In addition to launching a new collection of grooming tools, totes, and t-shirts that will be available exclusively at that store, the company donated $10,000 to the The Doe Fund’s Ready, Willing and Able program, which helps formerly homeless or incarcerated people learn vocational skills and become active members of their communities.

Esquire.com has an exceptionally interesting article on Chloë, titled “What I’ve Learned”. I highly recommend checking it out as it features some interesting quotations by her. Excerpt from Esquire.com:

“The umlaut isn’t on my birth certificate. I had this book as a child called Chloë and Maude, and there was an umlaut on the e, and I said, I want that! It’s a little flair. Just to confuse people even more. People always come up to me and say, Oh, you’re Chloë Se-VIG-ny, right? Sevigny. Number seven, letter e”.

“The first time I went to therapy, I had to stop going because they were making me hate my parents.”

“Then what I get a lot, too, which I think is really odd, is, ‘You’re so much prettier in person.’ All the time. They think that makes me feel good?”

Today, on November 18 2008, our favorite actress and fashion icon Chloë Sevigny turns 34 years old! What an awesome year it’s been. Congratulations, Chloë!

As Britney Spears once so aptly put it, “Oops, I did it again!” Sigh. This year’s Primetime Emmy nominees have been announced, and despite some favorable predictions, the excellent regular cast of Big Love have been granted zip. Once again, Chloë’s unparalleled portrayal of Nicolette “Nicki” Grant has been wrongfully ignored, and quite frankly I’m rather annoyed (not to mention disappointed) — can you tell?

All in all, Big Love received only one nomination; Outstanding Guest Actress In A Drama Series, for Ellen Burstyn’s portrayal of Nancy Dutton. The full list of nominees is available at Emmys.tv. You may post your sighs under this update, and then we can all sigh in unison.

Sigh.

The Los Angeles Times recently revealed their this year’s prospective winners for an acting Emmy, and it delights me to announce Chloë Sevigny is among their favorite picks as the winner in the Best Actress (Drama) category for her portrayal of Nicolette “Nicki” Grant in HBO’s critically acclaimed polygamist drama series, Big Love.

Nicki’s two sister wives, as portrayed by Jeanne Tripplehorn and Ginnifer Goodwin, were named as possible, albeit not favorite, picks for the same award, while Bill Paxton was named as a favorite in the Best Actor (Drama) category. Other Big Love cast mentioned were Bruce Dern (Best Supporting Actor, Drama; possible pick), Harry Dean Stanton (Best Supporting Actor, Drama; longshot pick), Mary Kay Place (Best Supporting Actress, Drama; possible pick) and Grace Zabriskie (Best Supporting Actress, Drama; longshot pick). Fingers crossed!

The winners of the 34th Annual Saturn Awards have been announced. Unfortunately, Zodiac did not win the award for Best Action/Adventure/Thriller Film which the movie was nominated for. The award went to Zack Snyder’s 300.

I just got word that David Fincher’s (excellent!) crime drama Zodiac, which recently premiered on Region 1 DVD as a Director’s Cut Edition, has been nominated for three awards at the 2008 Sony Ericsson Empire Awards! Although Chloë was not nominated for her portrayal of Melanie Graysmith, the film was nevertheless prominently recognized in the film and directing categories. From EmpireOnline.com:

American Gangster
Eastern Promises

The 2008 Golden Globes have been announced, and unfortunately it would seem Big Love was left without an award. The series was nominated for Best Drama Series and Best Performance by an Actor in a Drama Series; the awards, however, went to Mad Men and the series’ lead John Hamm.

The Golden Globes were announced yesterday in a press conference, interestingly enough – there was no red carpet event or gala due to the WGA writers’ strike generating an evidently insurmountable lack of participants. Visit the Golden Globes official site for all of the 2008 nominees and winners.
