LOS ANGELES, United States — Stars were roasting as they navigated the Emmy Award red carpet on Sunday, with the temperature in downtown Los Angeles pushing 100 degrees and making the glamorous sweat.

Taraji P. Henson of “Empire” used a cardboard fan to create a breeze for herself, while actress Jaimie Alexander used an electric fan from the moment she stepped onto the red carpet, putting it away only to take photos.

Alexander ditched the fan later on the carpet, but “Modern Family’s” Ariel Winter used one before entering the venue.

The men are faring little better, with Pablo Schreiber fanning himself with his hands and Jonathan Banks ditching his tuxedo jacket and telling fans, “You know how stupid we all are to be out in this!”

With temperatures nearing 100 degrees in downtown Los Angeles, fans in the bleachers outside the Emmy Awards are resorting to fans — both paper and electric — to keep cool.

The hundreds of people in bleachers on the red carpet on Sunday are in good spirits as staffers pass out water every few minutes to try to keep everyone hydrated. The water isn’t chilled and there is no ice, so many fans keep asking for ice to no avail.

The bleachers are covered and a gentle breeze is blowing, offering some relief.

Georgia schoolteacher Kim Lane has been to the Emmys bleachers for at least eight award shows and remembers one other year it was 100 degrees.
