Academy Awards Effect

Hi Everyone,
I've recently been asked by a director if we would be able to create an effect she saw on the academy awards. I've didn't get a chance to see the show and am currently downloading it with an ETA of 10hours..HAHA
The effect she says she saw was - The lead singer was in full colour, but all the background singers were in black and white, on multiple camera's. There was some small interaction between her and the background singers, not sure how close she was to them.
So I?m trying to ponder a way to get this effect to be used live. I am hoping with all the talent here someone might even know how it was done on the awards.
My current thought is to light the background singers completely in RED let's say, and then keep the lead singer lit in a different colour. (obviously no red dress either ha). Then using maybe the DVEOUS find a way to remove RED from the picture. Unfortunately I?m not around a DVEOUS again until the show.
Another thought was to paint the camera in a certain way. But we are using Thomson HD camera's and I was told they don't have the flexibility to do it.
I wonder if maybe the whole thing was run through post switcher program.. Like aftereffects or something that added the effect live.
I'm hoping this problem will intrigue you. I look forward to your ideas.
Thanks
