Now, the cycle begins anew!
THR invited many of the actresses who are up for Emmy contention to participate in a roundtable, including Sevigny, Sandra Oh, Glenn Close, Kyra Sedwick, Claire Danes, and Elisabeth Moss. Oh and Sedgwick dominate the very interesting conversation, but periodically, Sevigny pipes in -- and it's always at the expense of Big Love's writers:
Sevigny: Sometimes it's difficult when you make certain character decisions and then they throw something at you. "Really, I thought she was like this?"
[...]
THR: When you watch your performances, what bothers you?
Sedgwick: I watch the first cut because I have to give notes.
Sevigny: Lucky.
[...]
Sevigny: [I'm bothered] when they do rewrites and they have to cut a scene and they just smoosh one scene to another scene, and it makes no sense.
Don't worry, though: Sevigny also has choice words for the men she acts with ("I find actresses more low-maintenance than actors") and the directors she acts for ("I really trust [Jeanne Tripplehorn and Ginnifer Goodwin], which is rare, I think, between actresses. It's always us against the director"). The funny thing is that I totally agree with Sevigny that Big Love got off the rails this season -- in fact, it's her candor alone that's providing the show with the most real drama it's had all year.
