‘Big Love’: Somebody Give Chloë Sevigny an Emmy!

“I know how to submit and that’s why I’m happy.�

So, Roman’s in the hospital and Bill’s polling the sister-wives about his gambling venture: Niki’s thumb is up, Barb’s is down, and Margene’s enjoying her unexpected power as the tiebreaker. But as usual, we’re all about the Chloë Sevigny, whether she’s running over a fuel-efficient freezer with a look of grief-stricken rage, snakily negotiating with her viperish brother, or simply screaming “bingo!� with her eyes spinning like pinwheels. (Not to mention attempting to lobby Barb with evidence of men getting breast implants in order to lactate and well … what??) In any case, someone give this woman an Emmy. She’s Carmela Soprano in the body of Patient Griselda.

Meanwhile, Margene has a piggy ex, Samara’s doing the talk-show circuit, Joey’s test-driving wife No. 2, Alby’s manufacturing miracles, and “the men on Mt. Rushmore are patriarchs!� And Margene eventually okays the gambling venture for the children. And is (maybe) into spanking.
