Posh post-Emmy Governors Ball to be in the red

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Emmy losers - and even the winners - will be seeing red at this year's Governors Ball.

That's because Sunday's official after-party for the 64th annual Primetime Emmy Awards will be almost entirely decked out in rosy colours.

The behemoth 5,350 sq m space inside the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center has been transformed into a rose-themed haven for the ceremony's "rhapsody in red" dinner party.

A giant rose-shaped sculpture will hang above the 3,800 invitees while a staff of about 1,200 supply drinks and hors d'oeuvres to 380 guest tables draped with red linens. The massive room will be cocooned by 11m-tall curtains featuring 2,400 twinkling starlit-inspired bulbs.
