Quote of the Day: Chloe Sevigny on Big Love’s Awful Season

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Gossip,

UPDATE: You can read Sevigny’s apology for her comments here.

“It was awful this season, as far as I’m concerned. I’m not allowed to say that! [Gasps.] It was very telenovela. I feel like it kind of got away from itself. The whole political campaign seemed to me very farfetched. I mean, I love the show, I love my character, I love the writing, but I felt like they were really pushing it this last season. And with nine episodes, I think they were just squishing too much in. HBO only gave us nine Sundays, because they have so much other original programming—especially with The Pacific—and they only have a certain amount of Sundays per year, so we only got nine Sundays. I think that they had more story than episodes. I think that’s what happened… Me and the girls [Jeanne Tripplehorn and Ginnifer Goodwin] definitely were not very happy with where it was going—or more kind of, ‘We really hope it’s going to work. It seems like they’re really pushing it.’ I think next season, they’re going to go back to more just the family. I think that the stuff with Ben and Lois and that stuff was really great in Mexico, but… [Laughs.]”

-Golden Globe winner Chloe Sevigny (Nicolette Grant) agreeing with criticism of Big Love‘s fourth season.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Cable, CBS, FX, FOX, HBO, Showtime, 30 Rock, Entourage, House, Lost, The Office,

The 2009-10 awards season kicked into high gear this morning with the official announcement of the Golden Globe nominations.

Here are some of the noteworthy mentions from this year’s list of TV nominees:

• Freshman drama Glee leads all TV nominations with a total of four - including mentions for Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch. Damages, Dexter, 30 Rock and Big Love all got three noms.
• Although cable television dominated the Best Drama category, the major networks had a tight hold of the Best Comedy category.
• Newbies recognized this year include Courteney Cox (Cougar Town), Thomas Jane (Hung), Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie) and Modern Family.
• Despite big buzz around Emmy time, Big Bang Theory‘s Jim Parsons did not get any love this time around. Meanwhile, Emmy-winner Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) was snubbed as well.
• HBO, once again, leads all channels with 17 nominations. FOX and Showtime both had six each.

The 67th Golden Globe Awards with host Ricky Gervais airs Jan. 17 on NBC.

UPDATE: You can also see a new poster for the show after the jump.

A polygamist family that ice skates together is eventually bound to fall together…or just fall apart.

Although this early trailer for Big Love comes with no preview scenes, the expressions on all their faces are quite telling. Why does Barb look particularly concerned? Why does Nicki seem confused? Why can’t Bill hold on to his wives?

Find out when the Season 4 of the HBO drama begins on January 10.
