An enormous line of red drapes was installed to create an entrance foyer where guests enjoyed pre-dinner drinks and lounge entertainment by the Margarita Sisters, who performed songs from the '60s. Scattered in front of the drapes, which were uplit using 16 multipars, were banners featuring photos of award winners from the past. Hanging two and a half metres off the ground were long, circular, black fringe curtains, resembling the go-go girl cages from the '60s. A long glow bar was used for serving pre-dinner drinks.
